Thanks. So Waraka ibn Nawfal was one of Ebionites in Arab (or if there was a name for those Christians as such). I beleived he probably was influenced by the early form of Greek Orthodox, as they were also very close to Islamic ideas of monotheism. Later, different theological crossroads led them to a different path.

Good info came at a good time

Ebionites have been called Nazarenes, (Nasara in Qur’an), or Essenes, all of these could be synonymous or could be three separate groups … No one really knows …

Waraka ibn Nawfal was Christian … Greek Orthodox are not older than the Ebionites … Ebionites are the legacy of Saint James … One of the inheritors of Jesus (AS) … There have a lineage that goes unbroken to Jesus (AS) … Whereas Trinitarian Christians all go back to Saul … who never even met Jesus (AS) …

Nonetheless they followed Christian/Jewish practice and they differed from the Hanif who didn’t have any coded practices … But a belief in Allah.
