"The story of Hajar (Prophet Ibrahim's wife) offers the Muslim women the most marvellous example of deep faith in Allah and sincere trust in Him. The Prophet Ibrahim a.s. left her at the Ka'bah in Makkah, above the well of Zamzam, at a time when there were no people and no water in the place. Hajar had no one with her except her infant son Ismail. She asked Prophet Ibrahim, calmly and with no trace of panic: "Has Allah commanded you to do this, O'Ibrahim?" Prophet Ibrahim a.s. said, "Yes". Her response reflected her acceptance and optimism: "Then He is not going to abandon us." Reported by Bukhari in Kitaab al-Anbiya.
The best examples of a characteristics of a true Muslim women is mentioned a lot in the Quran and also in the Hadith. The story of Hajar tells us how the best remedy to overcome fear of something especially the future, is by putting a total trust in Allah.
