Hajra ASW: The Iron Lady of Islam,
Hagar's ((Bibi Hajra (wife of Prophet Ibrahim)) search for water for her son and God's mercy in answering prayers.
Safa and Marwa are two small hills located in the Grand Great Mosque Baitullah of Mecca. it is one of the pillar of Hajj and Umrah. Muslims sa'i (travel) back and forth between them seven times, during the ritual pilgrimages of Hajj and ʿUmrah.
Safa—from which the ritual walking or Sa'i begins—and Marwa sa'i end respectively. that seven trips back and forth in a sa'i for performing umrah or Hajj.
Performing the Saʿi means '"seeking", "search", or "ritual walking"') serves to commemorate Hagar's search for water for her son and God's mercy in answering prayers. The walkway is entirely covered by a gallery and is divided into four one-way lanes, of which the inner two are reserved for the elderly and disabled.
in between these two hills a small green lighted area where pilgrims runs to pass this are in sa'i.
When we talk about Eid-ul-Azha, the talk usually revolves around the supreme sacrifice of Prophet Ibraheem. His wife Hajra ASW’s immense contribution towards this great feat of human endurance and patience was no less inspiring. Usually we don’t find as many extensive discussions about her paradigmatic role in this story, as we do about her husband. To begin with, her life was a roller coaster, a series of consistent ups and downs, mostly downs. But, surprisingly, she takes them on with a rare aplomb coupled with an unparalleled quiet grit and determination.
The couple met in the strangest of circumstances. Daughter of a King, she was gifted away to a man who was the father of all the prophets combined, Prophet Ibraheem ASW. He in turn quite promptly presented her in the service of his wife Sarah ASW. Prophet Ibraheem ASW was childless at the time. Sarah ASW being a generous woman asked her husband to marry Hajra, the younger girl, in the hope of an heir. She was not wrong.
The marriage of H. Ibraheem and Hajra ASW brought delight to both of them in the form of Isamel ASW, their first born son. But soon he was ordered to take the mother-son duo to an enchanted desert, where there was not a single human, nor a green leaf, nor a drop of water. This monumental event was the foundation stone for a supreme ibadah.
It is a desert where the sun blazes away angrily, wanting to melt everything that it set its eyes on. As her husband turns away, leaving them behind all alone, she calls him, enquiring where he was leaving them in that God forsaken desert. No response comes along, despite many heartfelt appeals. Prophet Ibraheem ASW didn’t want to look back, lest his heart softens and tends to make amends seeing his wife, his only son abandoned and disobey his Creator.
But Hajra ASW was a wise woman. Quickly modifying her strategy, she asked her husband, loudly:
Is this, Allah’s order? Are you doing this by His command?
Without looking back even once, the answer arrived sharply in the affirmative.
She was patience incarnate.
And look at the circumstances: a humongous desert where there was not a leaf of greenery, nor a drop of water, nor a soul to share a word with. The man she loved most and had married with trust becoming the mother of his child was abandoning her sans any explanation, sans a word. A husband means the entire world for the wife. Hajra ASW saw her loving husband leaving her abruptly. She could see, nay, she saw her husband going away. An ordinary woman would have lost her cool and howl, would think of herself and of her innocent child as the most unfortunate people in the world.
But not Hajra, not her. She didn’t shout, didn’t wail, and certainly didn’t complain.
Her strength was her Creator, who was her whole and sole source of comfort.
Hajj rituals are predicated upon the surrender to Allah’s will by this trinity of the Father, Mother, and the Child. They performed their roles to perfection in tandem and with willing consent of each other. So it’s about shared honours. Abraham the Patriarch anchored the unfolding of the story, while Bibi Hajra provided the locale (helping found Mecca) and the wherewithal (an inexhaustible spring Zam-zam) to sustain life and commemorate the ideal, and Ismael ASW carried the legacy forward.
Let’s re-acknowledge her supreme sacrifice, perseverance, fighting spirit, enduring hope, and her ‘unique’ ability to look at the bigger picture. There is a lot to emulate here, from this iron-willed woman, our mother Hajra ASW.
