Document Summary
Faculty of liberal arts & professional studies york university: hanifs, hanif, an arabic designation for true monotheists (especially ibrahim) who were not jews, christians, or worshipers of idols. There is no evidence that a true hanif cult existed in pre-islamic arabia, but there were certain individuals who, having repudiated the old gods, prepared the way for islam but embraced neither. More importantly they were seen as the people who seemed to have had rejected believing in more than one god and retained some or all of the tenets of the religion of abraham. Two cultures were indeed different in almost every aspect. The two cultures shared the same idea, due to the shared heritage of abrahamic monotheism and greek philosophy. It is more commonly used in islamic countries. Muslim umma refers to the unity of muslims all over the world. Muslim umma is responsible for upholding the religion.
