Find it in the mushaf: Surah As-Saffat is surah 37. Find ayah 108. The key word taraka means left behind. Ibrahim is remembered across the world. Muslims remember him in every salah, at Eid al-Adha, and during Hajj when pilgrims walk where his family walked. His good name lives on because of his sincere trust in Allah.
Fact: During which pillar of Islam do pilgrims remember Ibrahim, Hajar and Ismail?
