When Allah Provides in the Wilderness
The Story of Hagar and Zamzam: A Lesson in Divine Trust and Providence
Summary
Sh. Ali Mashhour delivers a sermon about the story of Hagar (mother of Ishmael) and her trust in Allah during a time of hardship in the desert. He recounts the hadith from Ibn Abbas describing how Hagar ran between the mountains of Safa and Marwa seeking help, heard the angel Gabriel, and discovered the well of Zamzam. Sh. Ali Mashhour emphasizes the profound lesson of reliance on Allah (tawakkul) and divine providence, explaining that believers should trust that Allah will not abandon His servants regardless of their circumstances. He concludes by reminding the congregation that Allah does not waste the efforts of those who place their trust in Him.
