HAJJ OPERATION (PILGRIMAGE) IN THE BIBLE: ===========> ABRAHAM LEAVES HAGAR AND ISHMAEL: __ 0ne day, Abraham woke up and asked his wife Hajar to get her son and prepare for a long journey. In a few days Abraham started out with his wife Hajar and their son Ishmael. The child still nursing and not yet weared. Abraham walked through Cultivated land, desert, and Mountains until he reached the desert of the Arabian peninsula and came to an uncultivated Vally having no fruit, no trees, no food, no water. The Valley had no sign of life. After Abraham had helped his wife and child to dismount, he left them with a small amount of food and water which was hardly enough for 2 days. He turned around and walked away. She hurried after him asking:Where are you going Abraham, leaving us in this Barren valley? Abraham did not answer her, but continued walking. She repeated what she had said, but he remained silent. Finally she understood that he was not acting on his own initiative. She realized that Allah had commanded him to do this. She asked him again: Did Allah command you to do so? He replied:Yes. God told him Arise, lift up the Lad {Ismael} and hold him with your hand, for I will make him a great nation. [Genesis, 21:18]. Then his great wife said:We are not going to be lost, since Allah who has commanded you is with us. ABRAHAM INVOKED ALMIGHTY ALLAH, AND ALLAH ANSWERED HIS PRAYER: 0 our LORD! I have made some of my offspring to dwell in a valley with no cultivation, by Your sacred House {the kaaba at Mecca}; in order, 0 our LORD, that they may offer prayers perfectly {iqamat as salat} so fill some hearts among men with love towards them, and 0 Allah provide them with fruits so that they may give thanks. 0 our LORD! Certainly, You know what we conceal and what we reveal. Nothing on the earth or in the heavens is hidden from Allah. (Quran, 14:37-38) | |____>And as for Ishmael, I have heard you. Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multifly him excedingly. He shall beget twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation. [Genesis, 17:20]. Blessed are those who dwell in Your house; they will still be praising You. Blessed is the man whose strength is in You, whose heart is set on PILGRIMAGE. As they pass through the valley of Baca {Mecca}, they make it a spring {zam_zam water}; the rain also covers it with pools. [Psalms, 84:4-6]. JABALUL ARAFAHT: Now it shall come to pass in the latter days that the Mountain of the LORDS house shall be established on the top of the Mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and ALL NATIONS shall flow to it. Many people shall come and say, come and let us go up to the Mountain of the LORD, to the house of the GOD of Jacob; he will teach us His ways, and we shall walk in His paths. [Isaiah, 2:2-3]. Which things are symbolic. For these are the two covenants: the one from MOUNT SINAI which gives birth to bondage, which is Hagar, For this Hagar is MOUNT SINAI in ARABIA {Saudi Arabia}, and corresponds to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children {Arabs}. [Galatians, 4:24-25].
