Footsteps are mentioned in the Quran in these verses:

[6:90] These are the ones guided by God; you shall be guided in their footsteps. Say, “I do not ask you for any wage. This is but a message for all the people.”

[7:173] Nor can you say, “It was our parents who practiced idolatry, and we simply followed in their footsteps. Will You punish us because of what others have innovated?”

[37:69] They found their parents astray.

[37:70] And they blindly followed in their footsteps.

[43:22] The fact is that: they said, “We found our parents carrying on certain practices, and we are following in their footsteps.”

[43:23] Invariably, when we sent a warner to any community, the leaders of that community would say, “We found our parents following certain practices, and we will continue in their footsteps.”
