| [color=Green] In the name of Allah The Merciful the Compassionate Al salam Alaikum Wa Rahmatu Allahi Wa BarakatuHu. May peace be upon you and Allah's Mercy and His Compassion. People see many houses. There may be many houses on your street. People live in different types of houses. You live in a house. Through the grace of Allah, Allah has given us our houses, where we live in comfort. Allah also has a house. Allah's house is the Kaabaa in the holy city of Mecca. Allah's house is the first House appointed for men. Allah has made His House a place where people assemble; May Allah give His bounty and His good pleasure to the hajis, that made the pilgrimage to His House. Allah has made His House a place of safety; the Dajjal (Antichrist) will not be able to enter His House. Allah has made His House full of blessings; praying in Allah's house is 100,000 times better than praying anywhere else. Allah has made His house a place of guidance for all peoples; Allah sent the final prophet and messenger (May Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) in the area of His house. People that obey the Lord of the worlds go around Allah's House. They use it as a retreat. They stand up in it, bow, and prostate in Allah's house. Abraham and his son Ismail built the foundations of Allah's house, forty years before Abaraham built Masjid Aqsa (May Allah accept from them). Allah is the Lord of that House, who feeds people in hunger, and grants safety from danger, both in winter and summer. Abraham prayed to Allah to make the city where Allah's House was situated a place of security and to feed the believers in there with fruits. Abraham prayed to Allah to fill the hearts of some among men with love towards them. Allah answered Abaraham's prayer, and also promised the disbelievers a evil destination of the hell fire, after they have a short period of enjoyment in this world. Abraham made a call to people to make pilgrimage to Allah's House. Allah made this call to be heard around the world. Similar to His House that Allah has made on the earth, Allah has made a House in the seventh heaven called the Baitul Ma'mur, where the angels go and make the pilgrimage. Hadith in Bukhari: 3.303: ------- Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: Allah's Apostle said, "Allah made Mecca a sanctuary and it was neither permitted for anyone before, nor will it be permitted for anyone after me (to fight in it). And fighting in it was made legal for me for a few hours of a day only. None is allowed to uproot its thorny shrubs or to cut down its trees or to chase its game or to pick up its Luqata (fallen things) except by a person who would announce it publicly." 'Abbas bin 'Abdul-Muttlib requested the Prophet, "Except Al-Idhkhir, for our goldsmiths and for the roofs of our houses." The Prophet said, "Except Al-Idhkhir." 'Ikrima said, "Do you know what is meant by chasing its game? It is to drive it out of the shade and sit in its place." Khalid said, "('Abbas said: Al-Idhkhir) for our goldsmiths and our graves." ------- All the thanks and praises belong to Allah, who has guided us to the truth. May Allah make all our houses filled with blessings and with the light of His rememberance. May Allah give us beautiful houses that He has made for us in the Jannah. May Allah save us from the painful dwelling in the hell fire that He has prepared for the wrongdoers. May Allah make us people whom neither business or merchandise keep us from the remembrance of Allah. May Allah inculcate in us the fear of a day when hearts and eyes will be transformed. May Allah reward us according to the best of our deeds and add more out of His grace, Allah provides for whom He pleases without limit. Amin. Ahmed Al salam Alaikum Wa Rahmatu Allahi Wa BarakatuHu. May peace be upon you and Allah's Mercy and His Compassion. [/color] |
