The land of Kabaghar is the first land in the world ... According to Islamic knowledge, the earth was created around the site of the Kaaba in Makkah. According to the hadith, the lower part of the Kaaba, that is, the ground of the Kaaba, is the first ground in the world. Its creation in the middle of the vast ocean. Gradually, it began to fill up.
Thus a huge continent is created. Later, seven continents were created from one continent. Muslims think that the holy Kaaba Sharif is a unique example of the great Lord Almighty in the world.
Geographically, the location of the Blessed Sacred Kaaba in the middle of the globe is an amazing thing for many. From the beginning of creation, Allah has accepted the Holy Kaaba as a meeting place for His chosen servants. I'm always interested - but not all of it is known. Let's take this opportunity to learn some amazing facts about the Kaaba.
Many may not be aware of this. Let us know the issues:
1) Reform of Kaaba Sharif:
The Holy Kaaba has been damaged several times by natural disasters such as floods and enemy attacks. So the damaged Kaaba has been rebuilt several times. According to the most reliable historical data, the Kaaba has been rebuilt 12 times so far. The Kaaba Sharif was last renovated in 1998 with the use of modern and powerful technology to save it from various disasters.
Along with the renovation of the Kaaba, the Kaaba was rebuilt in Hatim in 1997. Hazrat Adam (peace be upon him), Hazrat Ibrahim (peace be upon him), Hazrat Ismail (peace be upon him) and the last prophet Hazrat Muhammad (peace be upon him) also participated.
‘Kiswa’ is a black cloth. By which the Kaaba Sharif is covered. But many do not know that this kiswa or ghilaf was not always black. At first, during the rule of the Zarham tribe, according to their rules, the covering of Kaaba Sharif was first started by kiswa.
Later, the Prophet (peace be upon him) covered the holy Kaaba with Yemeni white cloth. During the time of different caliphs, red, white and green kiswa were also used.
During the time of the Abbasid Caliphs, the use of black colored kiswa was discontinued and the use of black kiswa was adopted. Since then black color has been used for Kiswar.
3) Shape change:
From the time of Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him) the Holy Kaaba was rectangular in shape. When the Quraish rebuilt the Holy Kaaba before the advent of Islam, they could not complete the entire work of the Holy Kaaba due to lack of funds.
The place that could not be built then is called 'Hatime Kaaba'. It is part of the Kaaba. For this reason, Hatim Kaaba has to be included in the Tawaf. Which is marked by a small circular wall.
4) Doors and windows:
The original Kaaba Sharif included two doors. One door was for entry and the other for exit. There was also a window on the wall of the Holy Kaaba. At present there is only one door and no window in the Holy Kaaba Sharif, although there is a door inside to go up to the roof of the Kaaba Sharif.
5) What is inside?
This question is for many. Inside the Holy Kaaba, there are three pillars supporting the foundation; Each of the ligaments is attached to the ligament. There is a small box-shaped table in the pillar for perfume use. There are lamps of different designs hanging on three pillars. The green cloth embroidered with the verses of the Holy Qur'an covers the upper part of the walls of the Kaaba. On the side wall there is a gold door which is called ‘Bab Al Tawba’. Which is used to maintain contact with the roof. 6) Hazre Aswad:
The ‘Hajre Aswad’ black stone attached to one corner of the Holy Kaaba Sharif was earlier larger in size. At present this stone is broken into 6 pieces and divided into different sizes. Assembled in a silver-colored frame and placed in the east-south corner of the Kaaba Sharif. The first silver frame of Hazrat Aswad was made by Abdullah bin Zubair. 6) The custodian of the key:
The key to the Kaaba has been with a family since pre-Islamic times. This revered family is the Banu Talha tribe. This tribe has been performing this duty for the last 15 centuries. It is inherited by the senior members of the family. 6) Annual cleaning activities:
Its cleaning is done twice a year. The first time is done in the month of Shaban and the second time is done in the month of Zilqad. This cleaning work is done by the people of Banu Talha or Alshibi family.
