“… and also to warn those who say: "Allah has taken to Himself a son,

a thing about which they have no knowledge, neither they nor their

ancestors. Dreadful is the word that comes out of their mouths. What

they utter is merely a lie.”

(Qur’an: Kahfi: 18: 4-5)


Among the reasons why the Qur’an was sent down, and the teachings

of our beloved Prophet Muhammad s.a.a.w., is “to warn those who

say: "Allah has taken to Himself a son.”

As converts/reverts/Balik-Islam, who I believe to be mostly from the

Catholics-Christian faith, all of you would most likely be confronted

and challenged by your family-and- friends from this previous faith.

Therefore, what I shall present and share with you today, will be the

necessary knowledge, which, guided by Al-Qur’an, this will help to

eradicate whatever false-notion you may still have about your

previous faith, eradicate doubts and replace it with certainty of the

truth of Al-Islam. Also it can assist in preparing ourselves to become

witnesses of Islam and inviting them towards the truth.

To Muslims, the above (Genesis 21: 18-21) relates to the history of the

beginning of Makkah, with the tribulation of the family of Prophet

Ibrahim a.s.- Hajar and his first-born infant Isma’il a.s. After Hajar had

frantically ran between the two hillocks of Safa and Marwa whilst at the

same time supplicating to Allah s.w.t. in search of water, they were

bestowed with the well of zam-zam. This is the SA’IE, one of the rites

re-enacted till today by pilgrims. And beside the well of zam-zam,

Prophets Ibrahim and Isma’il a.s. were later shown the foundation of

the oldest house of worship upon which they rebuild the Ka’bah.
