The Holy Lands \n\nA Prelude to The Divine meeting on The Last Day\n\nMakkah ... Makk means to ruin or destroy\nThus Makkah destroys sins or ruins the sinner within.\n\nA thief intends to steal from The Kaba.\n\nWe heard that Isaaf and Naailah committed fornication in the Haram and were thus turned into stones (Ibn Ishaaq).\n\nThe Black stone is Allah SWT's right hand on earth. Whoever touches or kisses it then as though he shakes hands with Allah SWT and kisses His Hand (Ud'Datus Saabireen).\n\nMinaa is like a womb which is narrow but Allah SWT causes it to expand just like when a woman falls pregnant (Tabarani).\n\nThe Angels (as) shake hands with the pilgrims who perform Hajj on conveyances but embrace those who perform it on foot (Baihaq).
