In which surah of the Quran is the story of Ibrahim's sacrifice found?

In which surah of the Quran is the story of Ibrahim's sacrifice found? The answer is Surah As-Saffat.

The account appears in verses 99–113 of Surah As-Saffat, the 37th chapter of the Quran. Ibrahim (Abraham) tells his son about a dream in which he is commanded to sacrifice him. The son responds with acceptance and patience, but before the sacrifice occurs, God intervenes and provides a substitute offering.

The Quran does not name the son in this passage. Islamic tradition commonly identifies him as Ismail (Ishmael), while some classical interpretations have identified him as Ishaq (Isaac). This is why the question’s wording is best answered by the surah name rather than by the son’s identity.

The episode is central to Eid al-Adha, the Festival of Sacrifice, and is linked with the qurbani or udhiyah offering. Surah Al-Baqarah also discusses pilgrimage and sacrifice-related matters, but it does not contain this narrative itself.
