He was a breastfed child who had not yet been weaned. The valley was completely devoid of signs of life. After two days, the food and water ran out, and Hagar and Ismail felt thirsty. Ismail began to cry from thirst.
His mother left him and started walking quickly looking for water until she reached a mountain called (Al-Safa) and she started looking for a well, but there was nothing, and she went down quickly from Al-Safa until she reached a mountain called (Al-Marwah) and she did not find anything either. She kept going and coming seven times between the two mountains. After the seventh time, Hagar returned exhausted and sat next to her son, whose voice had hoarse from crying and thirst
Our master Ismail met the second ordeal in his life when he was a young man when God Almighty inspired our master Ibrahim to slaughter him. “When he reached the goal of striving with him, he said, “My son, I see in a dream that I am slaughtering you, so see what you see.” Ismail, peace be upon him, said to him, “This is an order, my father, so hasten to implement it.” If you are commanded, you will find me, God willing, among the patient, and here is Abraham, peace be upon him, discovering that his son is competing with him in the love of God.
And God combined for our master Ismail between the message and the prophecy, and his honor was the greatest honor when the seal of the messengers, our master Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, came from his descendants. Who spoke classical Arabic. Ismail, peace be upon him, was a righteous prophet who urges his family to obey God, especially the performance of prayer, which is the pillar and foundation of religion, and he also urges them to perform zakat, and for this God is pleased with him. His Lord is satisfied

It is the first house placed for people on earth, it is the first place in which man worships his Lord, and the construction of the Kaaba began
Ibrahim and Ismail, peace be upon them, built the Kaaba alone, and they made an effort that was impossible after that for thousands of men to emulate, that is, an effort that the two noble prophets alone made in building the House of God, but they were preoccupied with the matter of faith. - Our Lord, and make us Muslims for You and our descendants a Muslim nation for You, and show us our rituals, and repent to us, for You are the Most Merciful, and the construction of the House ended, and Abraham wanted to put a distinctive stone that would be a special sign from which the circumambulation around the Kaaba begins.
