ZAM ZAM:<br />

2:158 - Behold! Safa and Marwa are among the Symbols of Allah. So if those who visit the<br />

house in the season or at other times should compass them round it is no sin in them. And if<br />

anyone obeyeth his own impulse to good be sure that Allah is He Who recogniseth and knoweth.<br />

160 The virtue of patient perseverance in faith leads to the mention of two symbolic monuments of that virtue. These are<br />

the two little hills of Safa and Marwa now absorbed in the city of Mecca, and close to the well of Zam-zam. Here,<br />

according to tradition, the lady Hajar, mother of the infant Ismail, prayed for water in the parched desert, and in her eager<br />

quest round these hills, she found her prayer answered and saw the Zam-zam spring. Unfortunately the Pagan Arabs had<br />

placed a male and a female idol here, and their gross and superstitious rites caused offence to the early Muslims. They<br />

felt some hesitation in going round these places during the Pilgrimage. As a matter of fact they should have known that<br />

the Ka'ba (the House of God) had been itself defiled with idols, and was sanctified again by the purity of Muhammad's life<br />

and teaching. The lesson is that the most sacred things may be turned to the basest uses; that we are not therefore<br />

necessarily to ban a thing misused; that if our intentions and life are pure, God will recognise them even if the world cast<br />

stones at us because of some evil associations which they join with what we do, or with the people we associate with, or<br />

with the places which claim our reverence. (2.158)<br />

161 The House - the Sacred Mosque, the Ka'ba. The Season of regular Hajj culminates in the visit to Arafat on the ninth<br />

day of the month of Zul-hajj, followed by the circumambulation of the Ka'ba. A visit to the Sacred Mosque and the<br />

performance of the rites of pilgrimage at any other time is called an Umra. The symbolic rites are the same in either case,<br />

except that the Arafat rites are omitted in the Umra. The Safa and Marwa are included among the Monuments, as pointing<br />

to one of the highest of Muslim virtues. (2.158)<br />

162 The impulse should be to Good; if once we are sure of this, we must obey it without hesitation, whatever people may<br />

say. (2.158)<br />

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith<br />

Hadith 4.583<br />

Ibn Abbas<br />

Narrated by<br />

The first lady to use a girdle was the mother of Ishmael. She used a girdle so that she might hide her tracks from Sarah.<br />

Abraham brought her and her son Ishmael while she was suckling him, to a place near the Ka'ba under a tree on the spot<br />

of Zam-zam, at the highest place in the mosque. During those days there was nobody in Mecca, nor was there any water.<br />

So he made them sit over there and placed near them a leather bag containing some dates, and a small water-skin<br />

containing some water, and set out homeward. Ishmael's mother followed him saying, "O Abraham! Where are you going,<br />

leaving us in this valley where there is no person whose company we may enjoy, nor is there anything (to enjoy)?" She<br />
