(Ibnu 'Abbas r.a. said, "Prophet Abraham a.s. when was commanded by Allah, had left his beloved second wife, Siti Hajar and his a.s. only son then, Prophet Ismail a.s., who was a baby, under a large tree, in a barren land. Before leaving, he a.s. indirectly told Siti Hajar that Allah would take care of them. Siti Hajar consented and let her husband a.s. leave. After a number of years, he a.s. returned and found that that barren land had been developed and had become a settlement. He a.s. could not meet his son, Ismail a.s. because he, Ismail a.s. had gone to find food. He a.s. left. And when he a.s. returned, Ismail a.s. was not at home and had gone to search for food. Then he a.s. left again. After some time, he a.s. came and found Ismail a.s. was sitting under the large tree by the Zamzam well smoothering arrows. When Ismail a.s. saw him a.s., he a.s. got up and they a.s both did what people always do when they meet. Abraham a.s. said, "Will you help me?". Ismail a.s. replied, "Of course I will help you". "Allah had asked me to build a house here", pointing at a small hillock which was higher than the others. 
  Then they a.s. began to build the foundation for the Baitullah/ House of Allah. Ismail a.s. carried the stones and Abraham a.s. erected them until the building was very high, he, Abraham a.s. brought in a stone, put it beside the building and stood on it. He a.s. erected the building with the stones stretched out by Ismail a.s. His feet were wet that they left two foot prints on the stone. (This stone is called "Maqom Ibrohim"). When the building was completed, they a.s. both entreated, "Our Lord! Accept this deed from us. Truly You are the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.".

Let us now continue to look into the Ten Signs Of The Doomsday/the end of the World:
  The Hadith from Huzaifah ibnu Asidi Al-Ghoffari r.a. said, "The Prophet s.a.w. came when we were discussing something. He s.a.w. asked, "What were you discussing about?" We said, "We were talking about the Doomsday.". He s.a.w. said, "Truly, the Doomsday will never happen before you see these ten signs: (i) Fume/gas/ vapour/smoke, (ii) the Dajjal/evil Cyclops, (iii) a large beast, (iv) the sun rises from its setting place/the West, (v) the descending of Jesus son of Mary a.s. [Prophet Jesus a.s. when coming down from the heavens will still be at his age when he a.s. was lifted up, he a.s. will be thirty three years of age and not 2,000 + or whatever!], (vi) Yaajuj and Maajuj/Gog and Magog, (vii, viii & ix) the occurrences of the earth immersed three times, once in the East, and another in the West, and the third in the Arabian Peninsular, (x) a blaze of fire from Yemen driving mankind to their gathering place." (narrated by Muslim).
   Abdullah r.a. reported that the Prophet s.a.w. said, "The time when the Doomsday happens, there are only evil people. (There will be no good people/soul left at that time)." (narrated by Muslim).
   A brief chronicle of Prophet Ismail a.s. son of Prophet Abraham a.s.: (to be continued).
