 The Ka’aba, Ishmael and Hajj pilgrimage

Muslims consider the

Ka’aba to be the house
of God and the holiest
place in Islam.

Muslims believe the original Ka’aba was built by Adam but it

was destroyed by the flood at the time of Noah. With his son
Ismael, Ibrahim rebuilt it on the same site.
 Id-ul-Adha
Id-ul-Adha is a festival which remembers when Ibrahim had a dream in
which God asked him to sacrifice his son to him. God did not take the boy
although Ibrahim was willing to sacrifice him. This showed that his
willingness to be obedient and that he was a man of faith.

During the festival,

Muslims slaughter an
animal to remember
Ibrahim's willingness to
sacrifice his son.
 Ibrahim is also remembered during Hajj pilgrimage.
Muslims throw stones at the pillars the
same way that Ibrahim threw stones at the
devil that tempted him to disobey God.
When pilgrims run between the two hills
and drink the water of Zamzam, they
remember the story of Ibrahim’s wife
Hagar. She searched desperately for water
for her young son Ismeal and God rewarded
her search with the gift of a well.
