Share Allaah The Almighty Says )what means(:
*.}Indeed, the first House ]of worship[ established for mankind was that at Makkah - blessed and a guidance for the worlds. In it are clear signs ]such as[ the standing place of Abraham. And whoever enters it shall be safe. And ]due[ to Allaah from the people is a pilgrimage to the House - for whoever is able to find thereto a way.{]Quran 3: 96-97[
*.}And ]mention[ when We made the House a place of return for the people and ]a place of[ security. And take, ]O believers[, from the standing place of Abraham a place of prayer. And We charged Abraham and Ishmael, ]saying[, "Purify My House for those who perform Tawaaf and those who are staying ]there[ for worship and those who bow and prostrate ]in prayer[."{]Quran 2: 125[
Al-Masjid Al-Haraam)the Sacred Mosque in Makkah( is the cradle of Islam and theKa’bahis the place that Muslims circumambulate as an act of worship. The feeling of closeness to Allaah The Almighty and Divine love that are manifested in it are disseminated around the world. This has the most beautiful effect on every Muslim individual who has a protective zeal for his religion andUmmah)Muslim nation(. Thus, there is no wonder that Muslims respond to the call of Allaah The Almighty and to the Messengerwhen they call the Muslims to that which enlivens their faith, instills the spirit of sincere affection and brotherhood in them, and protects them from the ignominy of division and dispute.
In spite of the distance of their countries and the plurality of their races, they gather under the banner of the Noble Quran, unified by the word of Islam. Allaah The Almighty Says )what means(:}And remember the favor of Allaah upon you - when you were enemies and He brought your hearts together and you became, by His favor, brothers.{]Quran 2: 103[
Allaahu Akbar )Allaah is the Greatest(! How great it is to see pilgrims assumingIhraam)the sacral state( and chanting Talbiyah )the cry of“Labbaykallaahumma Labbayk, Labbayka la Shareeka Laka Labbayk, Innalhamda wan Ni’mata laka wal Mulk, la Shareeka Lak”(! How beautiful are the white clothes of Ihraam, that indicate the whiteness and purity of the heart!
How wonderful it is to see them when they are performing Tawaaf )circumambulation(, Rukoo’ )bowing(, Sujood )prostration(,Sa’y)walking( between mountsAs-SafaandAl-Marwahthat are from the rites of Allaah The Almighty! How wonderful to see them trying to get to know one another and showing kindness to each other in the House of Allaah The Almighty, gathering together in lessons of knowledge and guidance, and showing goodness to the needy. And whatever you do of good – indeed, Allaah The Almighty is Knowing of it.
Allaah The Almighty, perfect thanks and praise be to Him, has indeed perfected the religion, completed the favor, and chosen for us Islam as our religion. ImaamAhmad,Al-Bukhaari,Muslim,Abu Daawood,An-Nasaa’i,At-TirmithiandIbn Maajahreported fromTaariq ibn Shihaabwho said,
“A Jew came to ‘Umar ibn Al-Khattaaband said, ‘There is a verse which you read in your Book; if it had been revealed to us Jews and we knew the day on which it was revealed, we would have taken it as a festival.’He said, ‘Which verse is that?’ He said )reciting what means(:“}This day I have perfected for you your religion and completed My favor upon you and have approved for you Islam as religion.{]Quran 5: 3[.’
‘Umarsaid, ‘By Allaah! I know when and where this verse was revealed to the Messenger of Allaah. It was the evening on the Day of ‘Arafah on a Friday.’”
Ibn Jareerreported from ‘Eesa ibn Haarithah Al-Ansaariwho said, “While we were sitting in the Deewaan, a Christian man said, ‘O Muslims, there is a verse that was revealed to you )Muslims(, and had it been revealed to us, we would have taken that day and place )on which it was revealed( as a day of celebration, even if only two of us remain )what means(:}This day I have perfected for you your religion.{]Quran 5: 3[ Upon that Muhammad ibn Ka’bsaid, ‘It was revealed to the Prophetwhile he was standing at the mount on the Day of ‘Arafah, and it will be a celebration for Muslims, even if only one remains.’”
As for his saying,“While we are sitting in the Deewaan”, it refers to the Deewaan that‘Umarfounded.‘Umarwas the first to establish the department of the exchequer in Islam and the Christian man was a clerk in it )i.e., the Deewaan(.
