Prophet Ibrahim (AS)

The Friend of Allah

  • So she runs at a specific place, and then she climbs up, she is in Marwa
  • She makes Du'a again for sustenance, "Ya Allah send us some goodness, ya Allah are the one, we know you will not let us down"
  • And a couple of times she ran up and down, and up, Allahu Akbar
  • Making Du'a, looking, checking. Then she heard a sound and she's looking, what sound is this?
  • And she came down and she looked at where the child was, and there was a spring of water gushing from nowhere
  • Subhan'Allah
  • A spring of water gushing from nowhere
  • She looked at it and she thanked Allah
  • She sat down and she wanted to gather the water. So she created a basin like structure
  • Small little basin like structure with her hands with the muddy sand which now became like clay and mud because it was wet
  • Then she began to say in the language Zam Zam Zam. It means Stop Stop Stop. Because we want to now take you and drink you, so you stop
  • To this day we have this water known as Zam Zam from the same well
  • And for you information it is flowing at this very moment
  • It is gushing at this moment thousands of gallons per hour and millions of people across the globe drink from it
  • After some time, the birds began to come and they would drink from it. In the middle of the desert, the middle of the desert. No life was there
  • And some caravans used to pass, and in the heat of the moment they're looking for birds. Why are they looking for birds?
  • Not to hunt the birds, but wherever you see a bird you know there's some water nearby
  • So the clan of Jurhum was passing from that area and they noticed the birds in the middle of nowhere. They were not expecting them
  • So they decided to check up on what's happening. They sent someone, "go and see where these birds are flying to"
  • The messenger goes and see all the birds gathered around the well drinking and they see this woman with the baby
  • So he went back to the Caravan, the people of Jurhum, and he explains to them
  • They were very very amazed. They came, they knew this is a miracle so they asked the woman
  • "Do you mind if we live here?
  • Why, because there's water running from here, it's gushing
  • That doesn't happen in that particular desert. Doesn't happen. Water gushing from underneath
  • So when they ask her this question she looked at them and responded very beautifully
  • They asked to stay there because they understood that it was a miracle
  • From that she realized these people have good character, they are disciplined people, they are cultured
  • So she said "look you can come and stay here. One condition, this water belongs to us, not you. We will allow you to drink from it, but it's our property
  • So they stayed there, they were very happy and they loved the little child Isma'il
  • And as the child grew they taught him Arabic, they were pure Arabs
