Sometime later, Hajira gave birth to a son, Ismael. As she desperately searched for water or fire, running between two hillocks, a lost caravan stumbled upon her. Upon hearing her story, the travellers rushed to the spot where Hajira had left the newborn Ismael. To their amazement, a spring had miraculously appeared at the infant’s feet, which we know today as Zamzam. This holy spring continues to quench the thirst of the city of Mecca and holds great significance in the Muslim faith. Ismael went on to become the progenitor of the Arab race, and several millennia later, Prophet Muhammad was born from this lineage.
