The Sacred Harram\n\nThe greatest sinner amongst mankind is he who stands at Arafat and assumes Allah SWT has not forgiven him (Daylamee).\n\nThe covenant, Surah 7 v172 was taken at the time Adam (as) was sent down from the heavens to the earth known as the plain of Arafat (Ahmad).\n\nAdam (as) & Haw'aa (raa) wata'aarata (recognised each other) at Arafaat- hence it was so named (Tabaqat).\n\nThe Holy Kaba was sent down by Allah SWT as a ruby at the same time as Adam (as)... 'Thus O Adam peform Tawaaf around it as you have seen my Angels do so around My Arsh' (Baihaqi).\n\nPerform Tawaaf frequently for this is one of the most prominent deeds... (Hakim).\n\nAllah SWT is proud of those who perform Tawaaf around the Kaba (Baihaqi).\n\nEvery ritual has a deep & profound meaning.
