Hajr-e-Aswad The Sacred Black Stone | Rakibul Islam Salafi

 

Hajr-e-Aswad The Sacred Black Stone

For the first time in history, Saudi officials captured crystal clear close-up images of the Hajr-e-Aswad (sacred Black Stone) of the Ka’aba in Makkah.

Adviser to the Saudi Information Ministry in a statement on Monday said that it took 7 hours to take the pictures which are up to 49,000 megapixels.

The reddish-black stone (Hajr-e-Aswad) is oval-shaped and 30cm in size.

He said since the Black Stone is a “piece of Jannah and the first-ever high-resolution pictures reflect how beautiful paradise would be…”

The new high-resolution pictures of the Hajr-e-Aswad were taken by the Engineering Studies Department of the Reasah Alharmain through Focus Stack Panorama technology.

Hajr-e-Aswad is situated in the eastern corner of the Ka’aba and thought to be whole, which can be seen placed in a silver encasement but it is actually comprised of eight small rocks that molded together using Arabic frankincense, according to al-Arabiya News. It is the starting and ending point of the Circumambulation (Tawaf).

The smallest stone is no bigger than 1CM, while the biggest does not exceed 2CM. The encasement, made out of pure silver, only serves as a protection mechanism for the sacred stone.

History books on the Black Stone (Hajr-e-Aswad) recall how it was placed in the Ka’aba by Prophet Abraham after it was presented to him by the angel Gabriel. The stone is recognized as having come from heaven.

Where did the Hajar al-Aswad come from?

• The Hajar al-Aswad was brought from Jannah and presented to Ebrahim (عليه السلام) to be placed on the corner of the Ka’bah. Ibn Abbas (رضي الله عنه) narrated that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “The Black Stone came down from Paradise and it was whiter than milk, but the sins of the sons of Adam turned it black.” [Tirmidhi]
• Du’as are accepted at the Hajar al-Aswad and on the Day of Judgement it will testify in favor of all those who kissed it. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “By Allah! On the Day of Qiyamah, Allah will present the Hajar al-Aswad in such a manner that it will have two eyes and a tongue to testify to the Imaan (faith) of all those who kissed it.” [Tirmidhi]

Placing of the Hajar al-Aswad when the Quraysh rebuilt the Ka’bah

• When the Quraysh demolished the Holy Ka’bah to reconstruct it, a dispute arose when the building reached the level of the Black Stone. They differed on the issue of who was eligible to restore the Black Stone to its original place. A civil war was about to break out. Banu Abdu’d-Dar brought a bowl full of blood and all of the tribes inserted their hands in it, which meant that they had made up their minds to fight one another. But Abu Umayya Ibn al-Mugheera, their elder, asked Quraysh to agree on the judgment of the first person to come through the Bani Shaybah Gate and they all agreed on this suggestion.
• The first to come through this gate was the Prophet (ﷺ). This was five years before his mission. He put the Black Stone in the middle of a piece of cloth and asked a representative of each tribe to hold one of the edges of the cloth and raise it close to its place. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) picked it up with his own noble hands and restored it to its original place. This was how the Prophet (ﷺ) prevented a war from breaking out among the Quraysh by a supreme demonstration of wisdom.

The Hajar al-Aswad was once stolen

• The Hajar al-Aswad was stolen from the Ka’bah around 930 CE by Qarmatian warriors who were from an Ismaeeli Shia sect. They ransacked Makkah, desecrating the Well of Zamzam with Muslim corpses, and carried the Black Stone away to their base in Ihsaa, in medieval Bahrain. According to the historian Al-Juwayni, the stone was returned in around 952 CE and restored to its original location.

The stone is now in pieces

• The Hajar al-Aswad was originally a complete stone but due to various historical incidents now consists of eight pieces of varying sizes affixed to a large stone and encased in a silver frame. The silver frame was first made by Abdullah bin Zubair (رضي الله عنه) and replaced by later Khalifas as the need arose.
• Six (additional) pieces are claimed to be in Istanbul, Turkey. One is displayed in the mihrab of the Blue Mosque, one above the entrance of the tomb of Sulaiman the Magnificent, and four in the Sokullu Mehmet Pasa Mosque (one over the mihrab, one below the lower pulpit, another is above the upper pulpit and the last is over the entrance door). The authenticity of these additional pieces has been questioned, although the Turks did rule over what is now Saudi Arabia for many years and hold many historical Islamic relics. And Allah (ﷻ) knows best.

Manner of kissing the Hajar al-Aswad

• Note that when kissing the Hajar al-Aswad, one should neither push people nor harm anyone because while kissing the Hajar al-Aswad is Sunnah, causing harm to people is a forbidden act (haram). When the area is crowded, it will suffice to merely point toward the Hajar al-Aswad with one’s hand or a stick while reciting the Takbeer and then kiss the hand or stick. Although the Prophet (ﷺ) kissed the Hajar al-Aswad directly, he also pointed towards it when the area was crowded, it is therefore clear that both kissing it and pointing towards it are Sunnah.

Love on Social Media | सोशल मीडिया पर प्यार वह इश्क

Love on Social Media

Can I fall in love with a boy/girl Just by Chatting on Facebook or WhatsApp?

Answer- Yesssssss, not only you, but anyone can Fall in Love with any boy/girl just by Chatting with them on FB or other social sites. And it is what is happening everywhere. 

You can claim that I can't but there is a 90℅ chance that you will start feeling something towards your chatting partner. 

How it Starts. 

In the beginning, it seems very logical and within boundary chats. 

And calling each other as bro and sis. 

And maybe discussing some authentic religious doubts and confusions.

But Soon, Shaitan gets new clients and starts whisperings. 

So both start cracking jokes, even turning simple things into a matter of great laughter. Because Shaitan knows very well that the first way to get any girl impressed is making her laugh as much as possible even by making your own fun. 

Then Simple personal matters come into the topic of discussion. 

As the name, address, qualification, age, family, etc. 

Then sharing likes and dislikes, 

Then feelings.

Then phone numbers.

Then both start expressing their true feelings about each other. 

So far, Shaitan has made two dedicated clients of Zina. 

So now they encourage each other to share. 

Images, videos, adult jokes, talking about Sex even in the fun. 

If both are from the same city. Then Shaitan also arranges for Dating. 

Then... You know very well.

And my explanation described above is not based on only my silly knowledge, but also on the introspection of a hadith in which our Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam said, 

"When a man and woman are alone the third among them is Shaitan." (Tirmidhi) 

And Shaitan never inspires a couple to pray Tahajjud even if they are chatting from 11pm to 3am. Or at any time.

May Allah SWT forgive us & guide us on the right path. Aameen

World Environment Day in the light of Islam | Rakibul Islam Salafi

On World Environment Day, let us take a pledge to Beat Plastic Pollution and make our planet cleaner and greener. 

“The world is beautiful and verdant, and verily God, be He exalted, has made you His stewards in it, and He sees how you acquit yourselves.” (Saheeh Muslim)

There are several hadiths that tell us the importance of environment in #Islam. Planting a tree is regarded as a charity in Islam. 

The Holy Prophet (PBUH) encouraged the planting of trees which are considered as noble acts.

We can sum up the importance of environment by quoting what the Holy Prophet (PBUH) said, “Even if the Day of Judgment should arrive and you are holding a sapling in your hand, plant it”.

Need Your Dua 🤲💌
