ఇబ్రాహీం (ప్రవక్త): కూర్పుల మధ్య తేడాలు

 

 

Abraham's footprint is displayed outside the Kaaba, which is on a stone, protected and guarded by Mutawa (Religious Police). The annual [[Hajj]], the fifth [[Five Pillars of Islam|pillar of Islam]], follows Abraham, [[Hagar (Bible)|Hagar]], and [[Ishmael]]'s journey to the sacred place of the Kaaba. Islamic tradition narrates that Abraham's subsequent visits to the Northern Arabian region, after leaving [[Ishmael]] and [[Hagar]] (in the area that would later become the Islamic holy city of [[Mecca]]), were not only to visit [[Ishmael]] but also to construct the first house of worship for [[God]] (that is, the monotheistic concept and model of God), the [[Kaaba]] -as per God's command.<ref>[http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/fundamentals/hadithsunnah/bukhari/055.sbt.html#004.055.584 USC-MSA Compendium of Muslim Texts<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> The [[Eid ul-Adha]] ceremony is focused on Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his promised son on God's command. In turn, God spared his son's life and instead substituted a sheep. This was Abraham's test of faith. On Eid ul-Adha, Muslims sacrifice a domestic animal — a sheep, goat, cow, buffalo or camel — as a symbol of Abraham's sacrifice, and divide the meat among the family members, friends, relatives, and most importantly, the poor.
