The Story of Hajar: A Model of Faith for Muslims

The Story of Hajar: A Model of Faith for Muslims

Hajar (may Allah be pleased with her) was left alone in the dry desert of Makkah with her baby son, Ismail (peace be upon him), with no food or water. 

She didn’t know what Allah had planned for her, but she stayed patient and trusted Him. In her desperation, she ran between the hills of Safa and Marwah seven times, searching for water. 

Allah rewarded her struggle by providing the blessed Zamzam water, and now millions of Muslims walk between these hills during Hajj every year, following her footsteps until the Day of Judgment, inshaAllah. 

The story of Hajar teaches us that even in the hardest times, we should keep trying, trust Allah, and know that His help can come in ways we might never expect. The reward for her patience and trust is beyond our imagination in Paradise.
