Al-salam 'alaykom, our mother Hajer peace be upon her, is Prophet Ismae'l,s mother, she is
the great great great grandmother of our Prophet Muhammad(PBUH), she was an egyptian, so the egyptians are lucky :) they have kinship with our dear Prophet (PBUH), this what comes into my mind sometimes when I think of our mother Hajer. Also I heared Amr Khaled saying, and some other scholars also, that Zamzam water did not come to surface because of her runing between safa and marwa, it is because Allah(SWT) willed so, but in such action done it is a lesson for everyone to learn that u will not gain anything from just sitting asking Allah and doing nothing, on the contrary u should strive hard work, then leave the rest on Allah(SWT), and that is so true, if u want to have any degree of any kind, will u sit and say oh Allah please give me, of course he will not give u, u must work hard day and night and according to your performance u will get your results.
Al-hamdulilah for Islam, and alhamdulilah for Eman.
Salam
