The story of Hajj, the pilgrimage to Makkah, begins over 4000 years ago when, following the Divine command, the Prophet Ibrahim travelled for a long distance till he reached the hot, barren lands of Arabia. There he left his wife, Hagar, and his little baby, Ismail.
The story goes on to tell how Hagar struggled to find water for her baby and how at last the miraculous Zamzam spring same gushing out and saved their lives. This is followed by the great sacrifice of Ibrahim, the building of the Kabah and call to Hajj.
