Virtues of Baytullāh
Some special attributes of the holy KaꜤbah
Dear Islamic brothers! The holy KaꜤbah is a building of countless blessings, and it has many specialities. Allah states:
وَ اِذْ جَعَلْنَا الْبَیْتَ مَثَابَۃً لِّلنَّاسِ وَ اَمْنًا ؕ
And ˹remember˺ when We made that House (KaꜤbah) a place of return and peace ˹for people˺.[1]
Two specialities of the holy KaꜤbah are mentioned in this verse:
1. Being a focal point (a place of return) for the people.
2. A place of safety.
1. Hearts are inclined to the holy KaꜤbah
The exegete of the Quran, Mufti Aḥmad Yār Khan NaꜤīmī رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه writes:
The people of the entire world gather at this location. Whoever visits it once wants to travel there again and again despite the difficulties of the journey. Those who are free from worldly distractions and are entering old age pray for an opportunity to behold the holy KaꜤbah again. Those noble Prophets عَـلَـيْـهِمُ الـصَّلٰوةُ وَالـسَّـلَام who witnessed the destruction of their nations usually travelled to the holy KaꜤbah and spent the rest of their lives there. All Muslims, no matter where they are in the world, face it when they pray. Similarly, when Muslims pass away, their faces are turned to face the holy KaꜤbah. This is why the holy KaꜤbah is a place of pilgrimage and a place of return for the people.[2]
