After the last post on Hajira (HERE), a few pondering comments came. (You may not agree with all, but they are worth sharing). Putting 4 of them here
(1)
"I find it very inspiring. Till the day of judgment, for any Muslim, hajj and umra will not be completed unless he or she follows Hajra's footsteps. Imagine that she was a black woman. Most probably a slave. But Allah was so impressed by her struggle that this sacrifice will be repeated till the end of humanity. No other woman has such value as she does. A mother. Who was trying to find water for her baby in the desert."

Kaaba has very less to do with the Prophet Mohammad. As it was built by Ibrahim and Ismaeel, the whole place is an ode to his family. Tawaaf has been going on for thousands of years. The Arabs used to say namaz, hajj since Ibrahim's time. The Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) changed how it was done, but the basics remained. Saii is done as a ode to Hajira. Tawaaf starts and ends from Muqame Ibrahimi. The whole idea of Ahram for men, where they cannot hunt, wear perfume, and cannot wear sewn cloth, is almost like a cave-era man, where he walks and walks, spend a night out in the open, sleeping on the ground etc. It is a very non-Mohammedan concept.

Kaaba was integral to Hijazi Arabs as Abrahamic ritual. Muhammad never wanted them to feel offended. Do you know alif laam meem allegedly, in the beginning, was a tribute to 3 goddesses in Kaaba: Azaa, Laat, and Manat !!!

Never heard of Lat Manat and Azza for Alif Lam Meem
All mufassireen say we dont knowthe reality
To say the Quran begins with these names that have been condemned in the Quran itself (Sura Najm ) seems outrageous to me I have read Tafaseer by most wellknown Ulama
Then how anybody can say Tawaf starts with muqam Ibraheem
Are you a real Muslim and have you ever visited Haram Shareef
Tazrat Hajira 's commemoration of sayee is definitely made compulsory for all Muslims to perform Yes Muqam Ibraheem is important part of Tawaf for offering two rakaa there
Lessening Prophet Muhammad importance anybody can say but it is meaningless Allah has clearly given him the position and confirmed in his Issra wa Mi'raaj
Uncle,
Still trying to figure out what exactly happened. I recently discovered that about 137 posts were never posted on my blog and stayed in draft mode. I released all. This post was supposed to be posted 8 years ago (or I may not have posted it deliberately to avoid offending religious sentiments).
In any case, I need to change the date.
