Hajar-e-Aswad and Maqam-e-Ibrahim

Hajar-e-Aswad is a heavenly stone. Hajar-e-Aswad and Maqam-e-Ibrahim are 2 ‘Heavenly Rubies’. Originally, they were very luminous and bright. Allah (عَزَّوَجَلَّ) has hidden their Noor (brightness). If He Almighty had not done so, then they would have illuminated the East and West. (Tafseer-e-Na’eemi, pp. 680, 681)

When the Black Stone was put into the wall of the Ka’bah, its light spread far and wide in all 4 directions. Wherever the light reached, that part was set to be the boundary of Haram in which hunting is prohibited. The Black Stone was originally white, it has now become black due to the hands of sinners. (Tafseer-e-Na’eemi, pp. 680, 681)

The Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has kissed it. Ameer-ul-Mu’mineen Hazrat Sayyiduna Farooq-e-A’zam رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ states: “O Hajar-e-Aswad! I know you       are a stone, unable to give benefit or loss. Had I not seen the Holy Prophet  صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم kissing you, I would have never kissed you.” (Balad-ul-Ameen, pp. 21)

The Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated: “On the Day of Judgement, this stone will be raised. It will have 2 eyes from which it will see and it will have a tongue from which it will speak. It will give testimony in the favour of those who kissed it. (Tirmizi, vol. 2, pp. 286, Hadees 963)

In this regard, Islamic sisters should observe extra caution that no acts contrary to Shariah get committed by them. The Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم had not even proclaimed his Prophethood, but even then, this stone would say Salaam to the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. This sacred Stone will once again be put into its original shape and on the Day of Judgement, its length and width will be equivalent to the mountain of Abi Qubays.

6. Safa and Marwah are also in the city of Makkah. Both of these mountains are signs from Allah (عَزَّوَجَلَّ). Therefore, Allah (عَزَّوَجَلَّ) mentions in part 2, Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 158:
