Question:
The questioner asks: Is al-hanifiyyah (the religion of Hanif) specific to Ibrahim (peace be upon him), or is it general for all the prophets?

Answer:
It is most famous for Ibrahim (peace be upon him).
Indeed, Abraham was a [comprehensive] leader, devoutly obedient to Allahإِنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ كَانَ أُمَّةً قَانِتًا لِّلَّهِ
[An-Nahl 16:120]
"Al-hanifiyyah is the religion of Ibrahim." This is what is well known. Otherwise, all the religions of the prophets are al-hanifiyyah. The Hanif is the one who turns to Allah and turns away from everything else. This is the Hanif. This is the Hanif. In the general sense, it encompasses all the prophets, but in the specific sense, it is specific to Ibrahim (peace be upon him). Yes.
