Aal-i-Imraan 3:67

Read the whole surah

مَا كَانَ إِبۡرَٰهِيمُ يَهُودِيّٗا وَلَا نَصۡرَانِيّٗا وَلَٰكِن كَانَ حَنِيفٗا مُّسۡلِمٗا وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُشۡرِكِينَ

Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was a monotheist[1] Muslim, and he was not one of the polytheists.

Notes

[1] Hanīf means a pristine believer. The basic semantic meaning of the root h-n-f is an inclination towards uprightness and eschewing crookedness.
