Insight in to the History of the House of Allah (Kaaba).
Kaaba
is the first house for humanity to worship and that is why it’s an extraordinary
place for Muslims. It holds a great importance in Islam as it is like a central
meeting point for entire Muslim Ummah who gathers here to worship. Originally
it was located by Adam (A.S) and later Hazrat Ibrahim (A.S) and his son Ismail
(A.S) took the responsibility of rebuilding it. At the time of construction
prayers of Ibrahim (A.S) were answered by Allah and his descendants remain its
custodians for many years. A time came
when people started worshipping their idols in Kaaba. But Hazrat Ibrahim (A.S)
forbid them strictly and destroys all the idols and told them to worship only one
God who doesn’t live in a specific place but everywhere. It was also built several times because of the
floods or man created disasters. Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) also took part in its reconstruction
after it was damaged because of flood. Responsibility of its protection is only
taken by Allah. Until now the door of Kaaba was open publically for people to
pray but because of the increasing number of pilgrims it is now opened only for
VIP guests.
One interesting fact about Kaaba (Bait-ul-Mamur)
There
is a similar House of Allah built on 7th heaven right above the
Kaaba located on earth. Angels pray and worship there. It is mentioned in Sahee
Bukhari about it when Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) came back after the journey of
Miraaj He told that Hazrat Gabriel said that 70,000 angels pray there daily and
after coming out they never come back.
The Black Stone
On
the east corner of Kaaba, a black stone is located also named as Al-Hajar al-Aswad.
It is also stated that this stone was given by Gabriel who bought it from
heaven. There was clash between people of Makkah about putting it on its right
place because everyone wanted to do the honor, then the problem was solved by Hazrat
Muhammad (PBUH) who asked them to together put it on its place.
