Before the skyline of Makkah was dotted with cranes, before the age of instant images, and before the circling of millions in devotion, there was a man, a call, and an unwavering faith.
His name was Ibrāhīm (عليه السلام).
And he was not merely building a structure of stone. He was establishing an eternal symbol—the very embodiment of Tawheed: pure, uncompromising belief in the One God.
In an era drowned in idolatry, Ibrāhīm (عليه السلام) stood as a solitary voice of truth. He questioned the stars, the moon, the sun—and arrived at the ultimate realization:
True divinity is not found in that which sets and fades, but only in Al-Bāqi, The Everlasting.
The Definition of Submission
- ✦ Steadfastness in the face of the fire.
- ✦ Trust in leaving his family in a barren valley.
- ✦ Surrender in raising the knife for his son.
- ✦ Devotion in lifting the foundations of the Ka’bah, brick by brick, with his son Ismā‘īl (عليه السلام).
”I submit to the Lord of the worlds.”
(Qur’an 2:131)
His legacy teaches us that true strength is not demonstrated through power, but through profound surrender to Allaah.
A Crucial Introspection
Do we simply admire the path of Ibrāhīm from a distance, or do we actively follow it?
Answering that call is more than a journey; it is walking in the footsteps of the Prophets. When you stand on the plains of ‘Arafah, you stand where he stood. When you perform Sa’y, you retrace the steps of Hajar’s desperate faith.
At Daarul-Hikam, “Getting Your Rites Right” means connecting you to this powerful legacy.
It’s about ensuring your pilgrimage is not just a trip, but a true reenactment of that surrender.
Are you ready to follow the path?
Transform admiration into lived experience.
