Story of Prophet Ibrahim/Abraham Alaiyhis Salam (pbuh). Part ~ 6. Test of Ibrahim (AS) Love by Allah. Before having Ishaq (AS, Isaac) Allah subjected Abrahim(AS) to the difficult test of slaughtering his son from Hagar,(Hajarah), Ishmael.(IsmailAS) and Abrahim AS, was fully obedient and did not hesitate, not even for a second. However, Allah replaced the son with a lamb, and Ishmael was not slaughtered. This story is told in detail in the chapter about Prophet Ismail AS (Ishmael.). REBUILDING OF THE KA^BAH Later, Allah ordered Prophet Abrahim (A.S) to reconstruct the Ka^bah. Prophet Abrahim did that along with Ismail (A.S). When the walls of the Ka^bah were raised, Abrahim stood on a stone which is known as Maqam Ibrahim (this stone originally came from al-Jannah, just as the Black Stone was). Each time the walls were raised a level that stone rose up, carrying Abraham. With each stone they laid, they made supplication to Allah as said in Surah-Baqarah, Ayah 127. It means “O Allah, accept this obedience from us. You are attributed with Hearing and Knowledge.” FOOT PRINT OF ABRAHIM (AS). Maqam e Abrahim AS There is a footprint to this day, on the stone that Prophet Abrahim AS) used to stand on while building the Ka^bah. It is truly Prophet Abrahams footprint. HAJJ When Abrahim AS finished reconstructing the Ka^bah, Allah ordered him to call, “O people, Allah ordained Hajj to this Old House.” Allah imparted to Abrahim AS the knowledge of performing Hajj. Prophet Ismail also performed Hajj. THE DEATH OF HAGAR AND SARAH. Hagar, Ismails mother, died before Sarah, in the land of Hijaz (where Makkah is). Then Sarah died in the land of Ash-Sham. It was stated that after the death of these two women, Abrahim AS married a woman from the people of Kan^an, who also had children from him. Prophet Abrahim AS is called Khalillullah, which is an exclusive title for him and Prophet Muhammad. It contains the meaning of “the one whose heart is full of love for God”, or “the one who is fully dedicated to God.” God revealed to Abrahim ten booklets. He was the first person to be circumcised. Most of the conversation of Prophet Abrahim AS with his children was not in the Arabic language. Yet Prophet Ismaiel spoke the Arabic language. THE LAST RESTING PLACE OF KHALILULLAH It is known that AbrahIm AS was extremely merciful. He is the best of the Prophets after Prophet Muhammad. He was buried in Al-Khalil (Hebron), in Palestine, next to where his wife, Sarah, was buried. The place of his grave is known there. The entire city of al-Khalil was named after Prophet Abrahim AS.
