BAIET UL LAAH-THE HOUSE OF ALLAAH [KAREEM]
لِلٌّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالـى حَوْلَ الْكَعْبَةِ عِشْرُونَ وَ مِائَةَ رَحْمَةً مِنْهَا سِتُّونَ لِلطَّائِفِينَ وَ أَرْبَعُونَ لِلمُصَلِّيَن وَ عِشْرُونَ لِلنَّاظِرِينَ.
“And (recall) when We fixed for Ibraheem the site of the House of Allaah (for the construction of the Ka‘baah and ordained him:
‘Do not associate with Me anything and keep My House (after its construction) purified and clean for those who circumambulate it and those who stand and those who kneel and prostrate themselves in Prayer.” It has been told in the Holy Qur’aan that whoever had entered into this house he has been given peace and protection, obviously what better shelter will be then the house of Allaah Almighty. |
This is the house reconstructed by Hazrat Ibraheem [Alaiehis Salaam] and Hazrat Ismaaeel [Alaiehis Salaam].One may consider Hazrat Jibraeel [Alaiehis Salaam] as architect or engineer who specified the measurements and Hazrat Ibraheem and Hazrat Ismaeel [Alaiehis Salaam] constructed it. This is the house whose sight is longed by every believer. The sight of this house refreshes the Ieemaan (belief). This is the center of the whole earth, just seeing this house with love has blessings. According to Hadees [Saying of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ] every moment 120 blessings are revealed to Baiet Ul laah, 60 are for those who are circumambulate or doing Tawwa’af (go around Kaaba), 40 are for those who offer prayers facing towards it and 20 are for those who just sit and watch it with love and respect.

This is a Hadees from Muslim Shareef, Hazrat Abu-Hurairaah [Radiyal Laahu Anhu] narrates Hazrat Muhammad ﷺ said, “a believer is cleaned from sins as a newborn after visiting Ka’bah”.
As a newborn has no sins, so the believer is forgiven all of his sins. So this is the house that is the first house of Almighty Allaah, also known as Baiet Ul laah, Khaana-e-Kaabah and Qur’aan has told one more name of it i.e. Masjid-al-Haram as mentioned in Soorah Banee Israaeel etc. So Holy Qur’aan termed it as Masjid-al-Haram i.e. Honorable House with Dignity and respect. This is the house of Allaah Almighty, Muslims from all over the world visit it for Umraah, Ziaarat and Hajj. May Allaah Kareem bless us that we may visit Ka’bah and pay pilgrim, Tawwaaf, Umraah and Hajj. Excerpt…translated TV Program- Meraay Sarkaar kay Qadam Pouhanchay- Allamah Kaukab Noorani Okarvi. |
