The sun and the moon, though being mere inanimate things, represent many Devine secrets that the whole human life depends on them. This wisdom being represented by the sun and the moon is the same that exists in case of the Black Stone.
Kissing
the Black Stone The
Black Stone is one of the most important things related to the
Sacred Mosque. Concerning it, the Prophet, peace and blessings be
upon him, said: “The Black Stone is the Right Hand of Allah in
the land with which He shakes hands with His servants as a man
shakes hands with his brothers.” `Umar Ibn Al-Khattab is reported
to kiss the Black Stone and say: “I know that you are just a
stone that can neither harm nor benefit. Had it not been that I saw
the Messenger of Allah kissing you, I would not have done so.”
Then, he shed tears.
Now,
you have understood the wisdom behind kissing the Black Stone.
Someone may say: “It is just a stone, where is the significance
then?” We say: “Almighty Allah chooses some of His creatures to
be the deposit of the secrets of His Wisdom and the sign of His
Power.” |
