Black Stone

You're the one.

Even the Prophet tells you where that bay'ah, that pledge, where will you sign the contract with the khalifa? مَا بَيْنَ الرُّكْنِ وَالْ which is between what and what? Between the black stone in Kaaba and you know the station of Ibrahim, Maqam Ibrahim.

Between that, that's where the pledge will be taking place.

Bismillah, they assemble an army.

Who can think of, uh, a Sunnah from these? I say, from the Sunnah of, of Umrah.

Touching the black stone.

Na'am, touching the black stone.

Na'am, kissing the black stone.

Shaving the head.

Shaving the head, no, this is, this is, uh, from the Wajibaat.

Oh, Tahiyyatul Masjid, na'am.

That's of course from the Sunnah.

This is a great matter, so don't hesitate with it." They said, "You begin." He said, "I will begin." So he took the pickax, and he began striking and striking and striking.

He started breaking down the Kaaba between the Black Stone and the Yemeni corner, in that area.

He began breaking it, and the Kaaba began to crumble under his blows until he grew tired.

He said, "Come on, help me." They said, "No, we won't help you until we see what happens to you." They were scared that something might happen to him as a punishment from Allah, and they were scared...

Religion belongs to the scholars.

If rulers interfere, religion just becomes a toy in their hands." And so the Kaaba was left untouched, and it remained upon the incomplete building that we see today, all in consideration of this great principle, that religion must not become a plaything in the hands of scholars, but rather must remain in the hands of scholars who make decisions based off of fact and scripture.

And so the Kaaba was demolished, and its incomplete rebuilding began, as we described, and the walls were raised until they reached the area of the Black Stone, and here a great conflict broke out among Quraysh.

A translator's note here to describe the Black Stone and its origin and its place in Islam.

Ibn Zubayr then demolished the Kaaba sanctuary until he had leveled it to the ground and dug out its foundation.

Then he placed the black stone beside it in a wooden stand in a strip of silk.

The Umayyads fought against Ibn Zubayr and his companions.

But after 40 days, news arrived that the ruling caliph in Damascus had died.

Long ago, the holy city of Islam was referred to as Becca.

I believe that name was used for the city of Petra after repeated earthquakes killed many people.

After Ibn Zubayr moved the Black Stone to Mecca, scribes had only to make one small change to Islamic writing.

In Arabic, Becca is written like this.

You're the one.
