Ibrahim is called as Abraham in
the bible and is recognized as a prophet and messenger in Islam of God. Abraham
plays a prominent as an example of faith in Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
Abraham was promised by god to all the nation of the world. Moreover, The Islamic day Eid al-adha is

Ibrahim has been married to sarah for a while
but they didn’t have any children. She told Ibrahim to take her slave girl,
hajar, as his wife and maybe Allah would bless them with a child through
her.Hajar had a beautiful baby boy and they named him Ismael. Ibrahim decided to
take the dry place which was called as Hijaz. This place had very had no water.
Ibrahim left some food.
After some while, the food and water ran short
an Ismael began to cry. Hajar was panicking, she ran between the hills of safah
and Marwah looking for water and food. She returns and found a spring had
appeared where islmeal kicking the stand along his feet. This spring is called
zamzam. This town was near a busy trade route and become the city of Makkah.
That is still a busy in Arabia today.
One day Ibrahim said o my son I
have seen in a vision that I provide you in sacrifice, what is your view then
Ismael replied that do as you commanded, one practicing patience and constancy.
On the other side, Ibrahim could not bear to look at his son. When Ibrahim
removed the blindfold a sheep and ram was in place of his son. After some year, Allah blessed Ibrahim with
another son, whom they named ishaq. This time his son born from Sarah,
prophet’s first wife.
A long time ago, Ibrahim started
his pilgrimage and he commanded the people to perform this pilgrimage. Millions
of the Muslims visit the kabbah perform hajj and hajj is one of the pillar of
the Islam and all Muslims must carry out the hajj at least once in life.Abraham
encountered various miracles of god during his lifetime. The Quran records a
few main miracles which include are
