Reclaiming the Legacy of Ibrahim The Evolution of Salah and Fasting
Allah transformed the practices of previous communities such as prayer formats, fasting days, and the direction of prayer. The changes signify a shift in the Shari'ah, including making fasting during Ramadan obligatory and altering the qibla towards the Kaaba. This transformation culminated in reclaiming the legacy of Ibrahim, showcasing a new capital, a new constitution (Quran), and a new national holiday. The reclamation also extends to prayer towards Jerusalem being redirected to the Kaaba, fasting on specific days substituted with Ramadan, and celebrating Eid al-Adha similar to Ibrahim's sacrificial act. The legacy of Ibrahim is further strengthened by millions performing Hajj annually and an 'Ibrahim convention.' Through these changes, Allah eased the practices of previous communities and invited them to embrace the simplicity and significance of Fridays, symbolizing the evolution and reclamation of traditions.
