Back ground of Hajj
The beginning of Hajj has started with Ibrahim (Peace be upon him) who left his family in a desert where was no living things as well non living things. There were only open desert and hottest weather; there was no food to eat and no water to drink in that desert. Then Ibrahim’s wife Ammah Hajra (PBUH) had a little son about six months approximately and she could not find even water for him.
So she ran away from one to side to other on mountains, after her running of seven times ALLAh Subhanu Tallah released the water from underground that is called Ab – e- Zaam that is pure water. So it has become divinely legislated upon all Muslims to do all these activities during Hajj as it is tradition due to Ibrahim Sunnah.
Eid ul Azha
When the process of Hajj done then all Muslims has to celebrate the religious festival called Eid ul Azha. Muslims believe Hazrat Ibrahim’s faith was experienced when ALLAH ALLMIGHTY commanded him to sacrifice his only son Ismail. He does this by a great heart and fulfills all requirements greatly.
