Muhammed ‫ﷺ‬
 Ibrahims A.S travels from Ur (Iraq) to Harran

On opposition from his father and his

people Ibrahim A.S left his homeland with
his wife Sarah and nephew Lut A.S.

They traveled to Harran and then later

moved to Palestine to convey Allah’s
message
Ibrahim, Sarah & Lut
 Ibrahims A.S travel with Hajira and Ismael

On Allah's command Ibrahim left his wife Hajirah and

baby son Ismael in a barren valley of Makkah. At that
time nobody lived there.

Allah S.W.T helped Hajirah with

the spring of Zam Zam.

 Makkah grows in Population

After some time, a tribe, Jurhum, came and started

living there with the permission of Hajira.

Ismael married a woman from Jurhum and had 12 children known

as Banu Ismael. And one of their descendant is Adnan. So Arabs
who trace their lineage back to Adnan are called Adnani Arabs

are the greatest Acceptor of repentance, the most Merciful. O’ Our Lord, and send among
them a messenger from themselves who will recite to them Your verses and teach them
the Book and wisdom and purify them. Indeed, You are the Exalted in Might, the all Wise."
 Call People to Hajj

After building the Kabah, Allah S.W.T ordered Ibrahim AS to call

people to Hajj. Ibrahim was surprised because nobody was
there so who would come. And Allah mentioned this in Quran.

‫ۡي ِم ۡن ك ُّ ِ َل فَ ٍ َج َع ِم ۡي ٍق‬
َ ۡ ‫اس ِبا لۡ َح ِ َج َياۡ ُّت ۡو َك ِر َجال ََو َعٰل ك ُّ ِ َل َضا ِم ٍر ََياۡ ِت‬
ِ ‫َوا َ ِذَ ۡن ِِف ال ََن‬
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 hilly pathway.

And Allah S.W.T made this fact come true and we see ppl go to
Hajj from every corner of the world
