The Prophet Ibrahim’s Universal Call to Hajj

The Prophet Ibrahim’s Universal Call to Hajj

When Allah commanded Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him) to proclaim the Hajj, he called people to come to Makkah from every corner of the earth: 

 وَأَذِّنْ فِى ٱلنَّاسِ بِٱلْحَجِّ يَأْتُوكَ رِجَالًۭا وَعَلَىٰ كُلِّ ضَامِرٍۢ يَأْتِينَ مِن كُلِّ فَجٍّ عَميقٍۢ

 “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 pass – ” (Quran, al-Hajj 22:27)

This call was not just a historical event—it was a universal invitation to the worship of Allah, calling humanity to His House, the Ka’bah. Even though Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him) was alone in the barren desert, Allah caused his call to echo throughout time and across continents, symbolizing unity, devotion, and submission to Allah. It teaches us that even a single voice of truth, when supported by Allah, can reach the hearts of millions across generations—a testament to the power of sincerity and divine assistance.

As we reflect on Prophet Ibrahim’s devotion during these blessed days, let us ask Allah to grant us righteous children who follow His path, to grant us the opportunity to perform Hajj, and to be among those who answer His call. We also ask the Hujjaj—those honored with the journey this year—to remember us in their prayers, that Allah grant us the blessing of performing Hajj next year, and that He accept our efforts and intentions. May Allah make us among those who sincerely call upon Him, and may He answer our prayers with His boundless mercy. Aameen.
