The Beloved Prophet’s birthplace
Dear Islamic brothers! Makkah and the KaꜤba have many other special virtues too. For example, Makkah is the blessed city where the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was born. Allah Almighty states in the Holy Quran:
لَاۤ اُقْسِمُ بِهٰذَا الْبَلَدِۙ(۱) وَ اَنْتَ حِلٌّۢ بِهٰذَا الْبَلَدِۙ(۲)
I swear by this city while you reside in this city.[2]
It is written in Tafsir Ṣirāṭ al-Jinān: “As though to say: ‘Dear Beloved صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم! Makkah has this honour due to your presence within it.’”[3]
The renowned hadith scholar, Shaykh ꜤAbd al-Ḥaqq Muḥaddith al-Dihlawī رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه states:
The scholars of Islam say, “Allah Almighty did not take an oath by the Messenger-ship of any other Prophet in His Book other than that of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. The ˹following˺ Surah,
لَاۤ اُقْسِمُ بِهٰذَا الْبَلَدِۙ(۱) وَ اَنْتَ حِلٌّۢ بِهٰذَا الْبَلَدِۙ(۲)
contains utmost respect and reverence for the Noble Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, for Allah Almighty restricted the oath upon the city
