“… and also to warn those who say: "Allah has taken to Himself a son,
a thing about which they have no knowledge, neither they nor their
ancestors. Dreadful is the word that comes out of their mouths. What
they utter is merely a lie.”
(Qur’an: Kahfi: 18: 4-5)

Among the reasons why the Qur’an was sent down, and the teachings
of our beloved Prophet Muhammad s.a.a.w., is “to warn those who
say: "Allah has taken to Himself a son.”
As converts/reverts/Balik-Islam, who I believe to be mostly from the
Catholics-Christian faith, all of you would most likely be confronted
and challenged by your family-and- friends from this previous faith.
Therefore, what I shall present and share with you today, will be the
necessary knowledge, which, guided by Al-Qur’an, this will help to
eradicate whatever false-notion you may still have about your
previous faith, eradicate doubts and replace it with certainty of the
truth of Al-Islam. Also it can assist in preparing ourselves to become
witnesses of Islam and inviting them towards the truth.

 To Muslims, the above (Genesis 21: 18-21) relates to the history of the
beginning of Makkah, with the tribulation of the family of Prophet
Ibrahim a.s.- Hajar and his first-born infant Isma’il a.s. After Hajar had
frantically ran between the two hillocks of Safa and Marwa whilst at the
same time supplicating to Allah s.w.t. in search of water, they were
bestowed with the well of zam-zam. This is the SA’IE, one of the rites
re-enacted till today by pilgrims. And beside the well of zam-zam,
Prophets Ibrahim and Isma’il a.s. were later shown the foundation of
the oldest house of worship upon which they rebuild the Ka’bah.
