The Builder of The Kabah.
Long long ago the prophet Ibrahim (p.b.u.h) settled his wife Hajar and baby Ismaeel (p.b.u.h) in a lonely valley in Arabia. Thank to the miracle of the Zamzam spring there, some people began to live there. Slowly it became a small city which later came to be known as Makkah. Ismail (p.b.u.h) grew up a strong and loving youth.The prophets Ibrahim (p.b.u.h) and Ismail(p.b.u.h) were ordered by Allah to build the house of god the Kabah in Makkah.They took stones from the nearby hill and started to work.For this sacred land, Ibrahim (p.b.u.h) prayed "My Lord make the land secure and provide it's people with fruits such of them as belive in the last day." As the prophets Ibrahim (p.b.u.h) and Ismail (p.b.u.h) laid the very first stone on which the Kabah would stand they prayed "Our Lord accept this from us you are the all hearing and All seeing." They further prayed " Our lord make us bow to you and make our offspring a nation which bows to you and show us our waste of wor ship." They also prayed for a prophet to be born in their family who would teach with them to the people and purify their faith. Their prayer was answered many years later when prophet
Muhammed (p.b.u.h) was born to the people who came after them. The prophet Ibrahim (p.b.u.h) was ordered by Allah to clean the Kabah for those who came there to pray, and to call people to Hajj. Allah spoke thus to the prohet Ibrahim (p.b.u.h) "Call all people to make the Pilgrimage. They shall come to you on foot and on the backs of swift hammels they shall come from every deep ravine." And so Allah made it a duty for all Muslims male and female to gone on hajj once in a lifetime, provided their means and health permmited. Hajj is one of the five pillars of Islam. Today, over 20 million people from around the world gather in Makkah to perform this sacred duty. The moral of this story is that believers will promise Allah to follow the example set by the prophet Ibrahmin (p.b.u.h) and his family doing Allah's bidding whatever it may be bacing their live on truth and if necessary giving up lifes comforts and pleasures Allah will be there focus a girl from which they will never be turned aside by the forces of evil. |
