In The Name Of ALLAH Most Gracious And Most Mercifull. The Prophet (PBUH) Said " Pass On Knowledge From Me Even if it is Only One Verse " Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam 'Ala Rasulillah    Assalaam Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu illustration of what the Kaba might have looked like in the time of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) (pbuh)  The other names of the Kaba Literally, Kaba in Arabic Means A High Place With Respect And Prestige. The Word Kaba May Also Be Derivative Of A Word Meaning A Cube. Some Of These Other Names include : (i) Bait Ul Ateeq - Which Means, According To One Meaning, The Earliest And Ancient. According To The Second Meaning, it Means independent And Liberating.Both Meanings Could Be Taken.  (ii) Bait Ul Haram - The Honorable House. The Kaba Has Been Reconstructed  Up To 12 Times Scholars And Historians Say That The Kaba Has Been Reconstructed Between Five To 12 Times. The Very First Construction Of The Kaba Was Done By Prophet Adam (Peace Be Upon Him). Allah Says in The Quran That This Was The First House That Was Built For Humanity To Worship Allah. After This, Prophet Ibrahim And Ismail (Peace Be Upon Them) Rebuilt The Kaba.The Measurements Of The Kaba's Ibrahimic                Foundation Are As Follows :    - The Eastern Wall Was 48 Feet And 6 inches    -  The Hateem Side Wall Was 33 Feet    -  The Side Between The Black Stone And The Yemeni Corner Was 30 Feet    -  The Western Side Was 46.5 feet   Following This, There Were Several Constructions Before The Prophet Muhammad (Peace And Blessings Be Upon Him) 's Time. Reconstruction Of Kaba By Quraish Prophet Muhammad Participated in One Of its Reconstructions Before He Became A Prophet. After A Flash Flood, The Kaba Was Damaged And its Walls Cracked. It Needed Rebuilding. This Responsibility Was Divided Among The Quraish's Four Tribes. Prophet Muhammad Helped With This Reconstruction. Once The Walls Were Erected, it Was Time To Place The Black Stone, (The Hajar Ul Aswad) On The Eastern Wall Of The Kaba. Arguments Erupted About Who Would Have The Honor Of Putting The Black Stone in its Place. A Fight Was About To Break Out Over The issue,When Abu Umayyah, Makkah's Oldest Man, Proposed That The First Man To Enter The Gate Of The Mosque The Following Morning Would Decide The Matter.That Man Was The Prophet.The Makkans Were Ecstatic. " This is The Trustworthy One (Al-Ameen)," They Shouted in A Chorus. " This is Muhammad ". He Came To Them And They Asked Him To Decide On The Matter. He Agreed. Prophet Muhammad Proposed A Solution That All Agreed To-Putting The Black Stone On A Cloak,The Elders Of Each Of The Clans Held On To One Edge Of The Cloak And Carried The Stone To its Place.The Prophet Then Picked Up The Stone And Placed it On The Wall Of The Kaba. Since The Tribe Of Quraish Did Not Have Sufficient Funds,This Reconstruction Did Not include The Entire Foundation Of The Kaba As Built By Prophet Ibrahim.This is The First Time The Kaba Acquired The Cubical Shape it Has Now Unlike The Rectangle Shape Which it Had Earlier.The Portion Of The Kaba Left Out is Called Hateem Now { Continue } ========================== Rember Me In UR Dua Mrs Rubina Yasmeen ==========================
