The story of Ibraheem AS and rites during the annual Hajj Pilgrimage Start>>> The Prophet Ibrahim was tested through life With his father, his son, as well as his wife Against his own father, he was destined to stand Who sculpted his idols on public demand Lost in worship of the moon and the stars From the righteous path his people strayed far His father and kinsmen had called him a liar He was bound and gagged and thrown into fire The flames did nothing to put him in fear Upon his blessed face, was nothing but cheer He came out alive, as if he had just slept For, in Allah’s Protection he had been kept Onlookers expected to see something tragic But he walked out calmly as if it was magic! He left his family by Allah’s Command And rebuilt the Ka’baa with his bare hands Alone in the desert were mother and child Who would protect them out here in the wild? Here the miracle of Zamzam commenced Today we can drink to our heart’s content He called his people towards Allah, The One He was ordered to sacrifice his only son! When he tried to follow-through with Allah’s Command Three times obstructed he was, by Shaytan He threw some stones and told him to shoo! Determined to achieve what he was instructed to do His son who was strong and who was full of grace Instructed his father to turn away his face As Ibrahim began to make his move Allah Decided that he had proved His faith in Allah, It was second to none An animal switched the place of the son! He passed the tests and indeed went far Henceforth he is known as Friend of Allah
