[QUOTE]Originally posted by Politically Incorrect: [QB] Thank you, joueur, for the lovely post. The story of Hajar has so many lessons to learn from. When she was looking for water to give to her thirsty infant Ismail, she kept going back and forth between the two hills [i]ssafa[/i] and [i]marwa[/i] looking for any sign of water. Only after she did this 7 times, did the well of [i]Zamzam[/i] burst with water. Among the lessons learned from that episode: 1. The well had been there throughout the ordeal, and God could have simply made it burst with water earlier and save Hajar the anxious and tiring trips between [i]ssafa[/i] and [i]marwa[/i]. However, one needs to strive in life and not give up. Something as desperate-looking as going back and forth 7 times between the same spots was needed before God's relief was bestowed. 2. When you go between [i]ssafa[/i] and [i]marwa[/i] during hajj or umra, you can't help but reflect on the fact that all of these millions of people have been going through this ritual for centuries in honor of what that simple slave girl did. The honor is because of her remarkable faith and nothing else. Faith is the only currency worth anything. 3. This story and the stories of building the [i]kaaba[/i] and that of [URL=http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=10;t=003872]sacrificing Ismail[/URL] are the cornerstone of the umra and hajj rituals. This shows the emphasis Islam gives to the Abrahamic tradition, and to the fact that all the Abrahamic religions were versions of [i]Islam[/i] (submission to God). [/QB][/QUOTE]
