3. Hajj

• Dhul Hijja is the 12th month of the Islamic lunar
calendar
• Whoever does Hajj becomes cleansed of all past
sins. Volume 2, Book 26, Number 596:

4. Ibrahim ( ِ
عليه
سالم )
Ibrahim ( ِ
عليه
سالم ) is given title of “Khaleelullah” – A
friend of Allah ( سبحانه
وتعالى ).
In the Qur’an Allah ( سبحانه
وتعالى ) says:
َو هلل ُهَهْجَو َمَلْسَأ ْنَّمِم اًنيِد ُنَسْحَأ ْنَمَو
َةَّلِم َعَبَّتوا ٌنِسْحُم َوُه
َخ َميِهاَرْبِإ ُاّلل َذَخَّتاَو اًفيِنَح َميِهاَرْبِإ
ًايِل
“And who is better in religion than one who submits
himself to Allah while being a doer of good and follows
the religion of Ibrahim, inclining toward truth? And Allah
took Ibrahim as an intimate friend.”
(An-Nissa (The Women): 125)
5. • Ibrahim ( ِ
عليه
سالم ) was repeatedly tested by Allah
( سبحانه
وتعالى ) at different times and he passed every
test with flying colors. He accepted all commands
and sacrificed for Allah ( سبحانه
وتعالى )
• And so as a result of passing all these tests, Allah
( سبحانه
وتعالى ) rewards him by making him a leader
of the people as stated in the ayah.
Why did Allah ( سبحانه
وتعالى ) choose him
as a friend?
6. Ibrahim ( ِ
عليه
سالم ) is made a Leader
َمِلَكِب ُهُّبَر َميِهاَرْبِإ ىَلَتْبا ِذِإَو
َج يِنِإ َلاَق َّنُهَّمَتَأَف ٍتا

اسَّنلِل
“And [mention, O Muhammad], when Ibrahim
was tried by his Lord with commands and he
fulfilled them. [ Allah ] said, "Indeed, I will make
you a leader for the people." ”
[Surah Al-Baqarah (The Cow): 124]
7. Story of Bibi Hajrah
• Ibrahim ( ِ
عليه
سالم ) was blessed with a son, Ismail
( ِ
عليه
سالم ). Ismail ( ِ
عليه
سالم ) as just a baby when
Allah ( سبحانه
وتعالى ) commanded Ibrahim ( ِ
عليه
)سالم to take his wife and son to the desert of
Arabia (which is Makkah now), and leave them
there.
• He left a jug of water with them. There wasn’t
any other person around.
8. Story of Bibi Hajrah
• Bibi Hajrah asked her husband where he was
going and why he was leaving them behind in
that place. He did not answer as he was told to
not answer.
• Then Bibi Hajrah asked Ibrahim ( ِ
عليه
سالم ), “Did
Allah ( سبحانه
وتعالى ) command you to do this?” He
replied, “Yes.” She did not question him any
more and said if Allah ( سبحانه
وتعالى ) has
commanded He will take care of us.
9. Ibrahim ( ِ
عليه
سالم ) made a du’a as he left Makkah.
“Our Lord, I have settled some of my descendants in an
uncultivated valley near Your sacred House, our Lord,
that they may establish prayer. So make hearts among the
people incline toward them and provide for them from the
fruits that they might be grateful.”
(Surah Ibrahim :37)
10. • She stayed there with Ismail ( ِ
عليه
سالم ). Jug of water
finished. The baby started crying until finally she set
out looking for water. She saw the mountains of Safaa
and Marwa and went there to see if she could find
water.
• She did this 7 times. This is known as Sae’ee. Every
time she reached one mountain she would climb up to
see Ismail ( ِ
عليه
سالم ). She saw nothing, no water and no
human.
11. Du’a during Sa’ee

“Indeed, as-Safa and al-Marwah are among the symbols of
Allah . So whoever makes Hajj to the House or performs
'umrah - there is no blame upon him for walking
between them. And whoever volunteers good - then
indeed, Allah is appreciative and Knowing.”
(Surah Al-Baqarah (The Cow): 158)
12. • Allah سبحانه
وتعالى is indeed
Merciful. When Bibi
Hajrah returned to Ismail
( ِ
عليه
سالم ), she found a
spring of water gushing
beneath the feet of her son.
Allah سبحانه
وتعالى had
ordered it to gush. The
words that came out of her
mouth were, “Zam Zam.”
(Stop, Stop).
• The spring came to be
known as the well of Zam
Zam.
• A tribe passing by asked to
share and settled there.
13. Ibrahim ( ِ
عليه
سالم ) comes back. Kaaba is
built.
•Allah ( سبحانه
وتعالى ) had now ordered him to build His
house and directed them to the site where the
construction would be done.
• Both Ibrahim and Ismail
(Alaihummussalaam)
began building the Kaaba.

“And [mention] when Ibrahim was raising the foundations
of the House and [with him] Ismail, [saying], "Our Lord,
accept [this] from us. Indeed You are the Hearing, the
Knowing.”
Surah Al-Baqarah (The Cow):127
Du’a of the two Prophets while they
built the Kaaba

“And [mention] when Ibrahim said, "My Lord, make this
a secure city and provide its people with fruits - whoever
of them believes in Allah and the Last Day." [ Allah ] said.
"And whoever disbelieves - I will grant him enjoyment
for a little; then I will force him to the punishment of the
Fire, and wretched is the destination.”
(Surah Al-Baqarah (The Cow) :126)
16. Kaaba
• Kaaba is also known as Haram
• Another two names are Bait-ul-Ateeq and Bait-
ul-Haram
17. Importance of Making Du’a
• We learn the importance of making du’a and
especially when we do a good deed, we have to
pray for its acceptance.
18. Maqam-e-Ibrahim
While they were constructing
the Kaaba, Ismail ( ِ
عليه
سالم ),
would bring the stones to his
father, who would place them
in the right place. They had
raised the walls of the Kaaba,
Ismail ( ِ
عليه
سالم ), got a stone
on which Ibrahim ( ِ
عليه
سالم ),
stood to raise the walls even
more. This stone still has his
footprints on it.
Praying two Rakah Nafil
Salah here after performing
Tawaaf around Kaaba has
great reward.
Maqam-e-Ibrahim –
means place where
Ibrahim ( ِ
عليه
سالم ) stood.
19. “And [mention] when We made the House a place of
return for the people and [a place of] security. And take,
[O believers], from the standing place of Abraham a
place of prayer. And We charged Abraham and Ishmael,
[saying], "Purify My House for those who perform Tawaf
and those who are staying [there] for worship and those
who bow and prostrate [in prayer].“
Al-Baqarah (The Cow):125”
20. Hajr-e-Aswad – The Black Stone
•It is stone of Jannah
•The Hajr e Aswad was
sparkling because of its pure
whiteness, and it enlightened
the north, south, east and
west. People’s sin have
turned it black.
•Tawaaf begins from here.
•Rasul Allah ( صلي
ِ
ُللا
ِ
عليه
وسلم )
would kiss and cry over this
stone.
21. Allah (SWT) commands call for Hajj
• When the Kaaba is completed, Ibrahim ( ِ
عليه
سالم )
is ordered to call people for Hajj. But there is no
one there!
• Ibrahim ( ِ
عليه
سالم ) pleaded, "O Allah, how shall
my voice reach all humankind?" Almighty Allah
told him that his duty was only to make the call
and that it was up to Allah to make it heard by
people. Ibrahim ( ِ
عليه
سالم ) then climbed Mount
`Arafat and, as loud as he could, yelled, "O
People, verily, Allah has prescribed Hajj for you,
so perform it."

“And proclaim to the people the Hajj [pilgrimage]; they

(Al-Hajj:27)
Allah (SWT) says in the Qur’an:
23. Hajj
• One of 5 pillars of Islam
• Reward of doing Hajj: "Whoever performs Hajj
and does not commit any obscenity or
transgression shall return [free from sins] as he
was on the day his mother gave birth to him."
(Al-Bukhari)
• Has to be carried out once in a lifetime if
conditions allow.
• Rituals of Hajj begin on 8th Dhul Hijjah
27. • There are no days greater in the sight of Allah
(including Ramadan) in which righteous deeds
are more beloved to Him than these 10 days so
during these days”
• Recite Tahleel: La ilaha ill Allah
• Recite Takbeer: Allahu Akbar
• Recite Tahmeed: Alhumdulillah
(Ahmad)
28. Sacrifice of Ibrahim and Ismail (AS)
• Ibrahim ( ِ
عليه
سالم ) was blessed with both of his
sons in his old age. Ismail ( ِ
عليه
سالم ) was his elder
son.
• When Ismail ( ِ
عليه
سالم ) grew up to be a young man,
Ibrahim ( ِ
عليه
سالم ) saw a dream for three nights.
He finally realized that Allah ( سبحانه
وتعالى ) was
commanding him to sacrifice his son.

“And when he reached with him [the age of] exertion,
he said, "O my son, indeed I have seen in a dream that
I [must] sacrifice you, so see what you think." He said,
"O my father, do as you are commanded. You will find
me, if Allah wills, of the steadfast.”
(Surah As-Saffat (Those Who Set the Ranks): 102)
30. ِينِبَجْلِل ُهَّلَتَو اَمَلْسَأ اَّمَلَف

•And when they had both submitted and he put
him down upon his forehead,
•We called to him, "O Ibrahim,
•You have fulfilled the vision." Indeed, We thus
reward the doers of good.
(Surah As-Saffat (Those Who Set the Ranks): 103-105)
31. ُينِبُمْلا ء َ

• Indeed, this was the clear trial.
• And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice,
• And We left for him [favorable mention] among later
generations:
(Surah As-Saffat (Those Who Set the Ranks): 106-108)
32. Learning
• We learn how obedient Ismail ( ِ
عليه
سالم ) was as a
son. No argument with his father, no
questioning, but just acceptance of what was
ordered to him.
