Especially Merciful

 Ibrahim (‫)علي ِهـ ســالم‬
Ibrahim (‫ )علي ِهـ ســالم‬is given title of “Khaleelullah” – A friend of
Allah ‫ى‬
(‫) ســبحانـهـ وـتـعـاــل‬.

In the Qur’an Allah ‫ى‬

( ‫ ) ســبحانـهـ وـتـعـاــل‬says:

َ ‫ح َس ُن ِدينًا ِّم َّم ْن َأ ْسل ََم َو ْج َه ُهـ هلل َو ُه َو ُم ْح ِس ٌن واتَّ َب َع ِمل ّ َ َة ِإ ْب َرا ِه‬
‫يم َحـنِيفًا‬ ْ ‫َو َم ْن َأ‬
ً ‫خلِيال‬
َ ‫يم‬َ ‫خ َذ الل ّ ُه ِإ ْب َرا ِه‬
َ َّ‫َوات‬

“And who is better in religion than one who submits himself to Allah
(‫ ) ســبحانـهـ وـتـعـاــلى‬while being a doer of good and follows the religion
of Ibrahim ( ‫ ) علي ِهـ ســالم‬, inclining toward truth? And Allah
(‫ ) ســبحانـهـ وـتـعـاــلى‬took Ibrahim ( ‫ ) علي ِهـ ســالم‬as an intimate friend.”
(An-Nissa (The Women): 125)
Why did Allah ‫ى‬
(‫ ) ســبحانـهـ وـتـعـاــل‬choose him as
a friend?
• Ibrahim (‫عليهـ ســالم‬ ِ ) was repeatedly tested by Allah
‫ى‬
(‫ ) ســـبحانـهـ وـتـعـاــل‬at different times and he passed
every test with flying colors. He accepted all
commands and sacrificed for Allah ‫ى‬ (‫) ســبحانـهـ وـتـعـاــل‬
• And so as a result of passing all these tests, Allah
‫ى‬
(‫ ) ســبحانـهـ وـتـعـاــل‬rewards him by making him a leader
of the people as stated in the ayah.
Ibrahim (‫ )علي ِهـ ســالم‬is made a Leader

َ ‫ات َفَأتَ ّ َم ُه ّ َن ق‬
‫َال ِإ ِن ّي‬ ٍ ‫يم َر ّبُ ُه ِبكَلِ َم‬
َ ‫ابتَل َى ِإ ْب َرا ِه‬
ْ ‫َوِإ ِذ‬
‫اما‬ ً ‫اعل َُك لِلن ّ َِاس ِإ َم‬
ِ ‫َج‬

“And [mention, O Muhammad (‫صــلي اــل ُهـ علي ِهـ‬

‫])وـسلم‬, when Ibrahim ( ‫ ) علي ِهـ ســالم‬was tried by his
Lord with commands and he fulfilled them.
[ Allah (‫ ] ) ســبحانـهـ وـتـعـاــلى‬said, "Indeed, I will
make you a leader for the people." ”
[Surah Al-Baqarah (The Cow): 124]
Story of Bibi Hajrah ( ‫) علیہ ســالم‬
• Ibrahim (‫عليهــ ســالم‬ ِ ) was blessed with a son,
Ismail (‫)علي ِهـ ســالم‬. Ismail (‫ )علي ِهـ ســالم‬as just a baby
when Allah ‫ى‬ (‫ ) ســبحانـهـ وـتـعـاــل‬commanded Ibrahim
(‫ )علي ِهـ ســالم‬to 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.
Story of Bibi Hajrah ( ‫) علي ِهـ ســالم‬
• Bibi Hajrah ( ‫ ) علي ِهـ ســالم‬asked 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 ( ‫ ) علي ِهـ ســالم‬asked Ibrahim (‫علي ِهـ‬
‫)ســالم‬, “Did Allah ‫ى‬
(‫ ) ســبحانـهـ وـتـعـاــل‬command you to
do this?” He replied, “Yes.” She did not question
him any more and said if Allah ‫ى‬ (‫) ســبحانـهـ وـتـعـاــل‬
has commanded He will take care of us.
Ibrahim (‫ )علي ِهـ ســالم‬made 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)
 ِ
• She stayed there with Ismail (‫عليهـ ســالم‬ ). 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 (‫عليهـ ســالم‬ ). She saw nothing, no water and no
human.
Du’a during Sa’ee

ْ ‫ت َأ ِو‬
َ ‫اعتَ َم َر َفال‬ َ ْ‫الصفَا َوال َْم ْر َو َة ِمن َش َعآِئ ِر الل ّ ِه ف ََم ْن َح َّج ال َْبي‬َّ ‫ِإ َّن‬

‫يم‬ َ ‫خيْ ًرا َفِإ َّن الل ّ َه َشاكِ ٌر‬ َ ‫عل َيْ ِه َأن يَط َّ َّو َف ِب ِه َما َو َمن تَط َ َّو‬
َ ‫ع‬ َ ‫اح‬َ َ ‫ُجن‬

“Indeed, as-Safa and al-Marwah are among the symbols of

Allah (‫ ) ســبحانـهـ وـتـعـاــلى‬. 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 (‫ ) ســبحانـهـ وـتـعـاــلى‬is appreciative and
Knowing.”
(Surah Al-Baqarah (The Cow): 158)
• Allah (‫ ) ســبحانـهـ وـتـعـاــلى‬is
indeed Merciful. When Bibi
Hajrah ( ‫ ) علي ِهـ ســالم‬returned
to Ismail (‫)علي ِهـ ســالم‬, she
found a spring of water
gushing beneath the feet of
her son. Allah ( ‫ســبحانـهـ‬
‫ ) وـتـعـاــلى‬had 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.
Ibrahim (‫ )علي ِهـ ســالم‬comes back. Kaaba is
built.
•Allah ‫ى‬
(‫ ) ســـبحانـهـ وـتـعـاــل‬had now ordered him to build
His house and directed them to the site where the
construction would be done.

• Both Ibrahim ( ‫) علي ِهـ ســالم‬

and Ismail ( ‫) علي ِهـ ســالم‬
began building the Kaaba.
Du’a of the two Prophets while they built
the Kaaba

‫ت‬ِ ْ‫اع َد ِم َن ال َْبي‬ ِ ‫يم الْقَ َو‬ ُ ‫َوِإ ْذ يَ ْرف َُع ِإ ْب َرا ِه‬

“And [mention] when Ibrahim ( ‫ ) علي ِهـ ســالم‬was raising the
foundations of the House and [with him] Ismail ( ‫علیہ‬
‫) ســالم‬, [saying], "Our Lord, accept [this] from us. Indeed
You are the Hearing, the Knowing.”
Surah Al-Baqarah (The Cow):127
Another Du’a Of Ibrahim (‫)علي ِهـ ســالم‬

“And [mention] when Ibrahim ( ‫ ) علي ِهـ ســالم‬said, "My
Lord, make this a secure city and provide its people with
fruits - whoever of them believes in Allah (‫) ســبحانـهـ وـتـعـاــلى‬
and the Last Day." [ Allah (‫ ] ) ســبحانـهـ وـتـعـاــلى‬said. "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)
Kaaba
• Kaaba is also known as Haram
• Another two names are Bait-ul-Ateeq and Bait-
ul-Haram
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.
 Maqam-e-Ibrahim
While they were constructing Maqam-e-Ibrahim –
ِ
the Kaaba, Ismail (‫عليهـ ســالم‬ ), means place where
would bring the stones to his
Ibrahim (‫ )علي ِهـ ســالم‬stood.
father, who would place them
in the right place. They had
raised the walls of the Kaaba,
ِ
Ismail (‫عليهـ ســالم‬ ), got a stone
on which Ibrahim (‫)علي ِهـ ســالم‬,
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.
 “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 ( ‫علي ِهـ‬
‫ ) ســالم‬a place of prayer. And We charged Abraham ( ‫علي ِهـ‬
‫ ) ســالم‬and Ismael ( ‫) علي ِهـ ســالم‬, [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].“
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 (‫له ـ علي ِهـ‬
ُ ‫صـــلي اــل‬
‫ )وـسلم‬would kiss and cry over
this stone.
Allah (‫ ) ســبحانـهـ وـتـعـاــلى‬commands call for Hajj
• When the Kaaba is completed, Ibrahim (‫عليهـ ســالم‬ ِ )
is ordered to call people for Hajj. But there is no
one there!
• Ibrahim (‫ )علي ِهـ ســالم‬pleaded, "O Allah(‫)ســبحانـهـ وـتـعـاــلى‬,
how shall my voice reach all humankind?"
Almighty Allah ‫ى‬ (‫ )ســـبحانـهـ وـتـعـاــل‬told him that his
duty was only to make the call and that it was up
to Allah ‫ى‬
(‫ )ســبحانـهـ وـتـعـاــل‬to make it heard by people.
Ibrahim (‫عليهـ ســالم‬ ِ ) then climbed Mount `Arafat
and, as loud as he could, yelled, "O People, verily,
Allah has prescribed Hajj for you, so perform  it."  
Allah (‫ )علي ِهـ ســالم‬says in the Qur’an:

َ ‫ام ٍر يَْأ ِت‬

‫ين‬ ِ ‫ل َض‬ َ ‫ج يَْأتُو َك ِر َجال ًا َو‬
ِ ّ ‫عل َى ُك‬ ِ َّ ‫َوَأ ِّذن ِفي الن‬

‫يق‬ َ ‫َج‬ ٍّ ‫ل ف‬ِ ّ ‫ِمن ُك‬

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

will come to you on foot and on every lean camel; they
will come from every distant pass –”
(Al-Hajj:27)
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

Sacrifice of Ibrahim ( ‫ ) علي ِهـ ســالم‬and Ismail
( ‫( ) علي ِهـ ســالم‬AS)
• Ibrahim (‫ )علي ِهـ ســالم‬was blessed with both of his
sons in his old age. Ismail (‫ )علي ِهـ ســالم‬was his elder
son.
• When Ismail (‫ )علي ِهـ ســالم‬grew up to be a young
man, Ibrahim (‫ )علي ِهـ ســالم‬saw a dream for three
nights. He finally realized that Allah (‫ســبحانـهـ‬
‫ ) وـتـعـاــلى‬was commanding him to sacrifice his son.
ِ‫َال يَا ُبن َ َّي ِإ ِن ّي َأ َرى ِفي ال َْمنَام‬

َّ ‫َستَجِ ُد ِني ِإن َشاء الل َّ ُه ِم َن‬
‫الصا ِب ِرين‬
“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 ‫ی‬
(‫ )ســبحانـهـ وـتـعـاــل‬wills, of the steadfast.”

(Surah As-Saffat (Those Who Set the Ranks): 102)

• And when they had both submitted and he put
him down upon his forehead,
• We called to him, "O Ibrahim ( ‫ ) علي ِهـ ســالم‬,
• You have fulfilled the vision." Indeed, We thus
reward the doers of good.

(Surah As-Saffat (Those Who Set the Ranks): 103-105)

• 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)

Learning
ِ
• We learn how obedient Ismail (‫عليهـ ســالم‬ ) was as
a son. No argument with his father, no
questioning, but just acceptance of what was
ordered to him.
May Allah accept. Aameen.
