In Islamic history, Al-Hanifah as-Nahla refers to the first man to worship God in monotheistic form, believed to be the ancestor of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham). The term "Hanif" has come to symbolize a person who rejects idolatry and carries the mantle of a monotheist, interpreting religious practices with a pure, sincere heart. This is in contrast to the term "Mushrik," which refers to those who associate others with God.
