The wisdom behind the excellence of the Sacred Mosque is its being the first mosque established for people to head to from high and low to exalt the rituals of their religion and glorify their Lord. Almighty Allah says; "Lo! The first Sanctuary appointed for mankind was that at Mecca, a blessed place, a guidance to the peoples. Wherein are plain memorials (of Allah's guidance); the place where Abraham stood up to pray; and whosoever entereth it is safe." ( Al ' Imran : 96 ) Even birds in their nests, are safe while being in that Sacred place.
The Excellence of the Sacred Mosque Some
Arabs used to commit murder and then hurry to enter that Sacred
Mosque and put some wool around their necks as a reminder to any
avenger that they are in the Sacred Mosque, and thus were never
harmed. Many were the tyrants who tried to demolish this Sacred
Mosque but none of them succeeded; rather, they never had a safe
returning. The Owners of the Elephant were the best example of
this, for Allah sent against them swarms of flying birds. Which
pelted them with stones of baked clay. And made them like green
crops devoured (by cattle).
