Kabah -- Hzt. Ali's Birthplace
&
the QURANIC
Truth
BISMILLAAHIR RAHMAANIR RAHIIM
IN THE NAME
OF ALLAH, RAHMAN, RAHIIM
QIBLAH-- MASJIDIL-HARAAM
002.144 1-4. We have seen the turning of thy face to HEAVEN (for guidance, O Muhammad).
And now verily WE SHALL MAKE THEE TURN toward a __QIBLAH WHICH IS DEAR TO THEE.__ So TURN thy FACE toward the MASJIDIL-HARAAM,
and ye, wheresoever ye may be, TURN your FACES toward it. Lo! Those who have received the Scripture know that this is the Truth from their Lord. And Allah is not unaware of what they do.
A CHALLENGE TO YOUR FAITH AND INTELLECT:
Review this very
CHALLENGING Divine Revelation minutely, intelligently and objectively in order
to understand the underlying purpose of the
Holy Prophet's (SAS) Mission and the Eternal
Message of Islam.
HQ.. 038.029 (This is) a SCRIPTURE that
We have revealed unto thee,
full of blessing, that they may
PONDER ITS REVELATIONS,
and that men of understanding may REFLECT.
-----
First of, He Who, whose Divine
Mission was to spread Islam -- a monotheistic Faith throughout the world
--
1. Not only turned to HEAVEN for
guidance;
2. But more importantly, He also BEHELD SOMETHING VERY CLOSE & DEAR TO HIS HEART ON
THIS EARTH
--
That is, before the Holy Prophet (SAS) turned to
Heaven for guidance or Allah APPOINTED a NEW QIBLAH for Him and His followers.
In any case, Allah knew about
it and informed Him accordingly. He further asked the Holy Prophet (SAS) to
adopt the OBJECT OF HIS UTMOST ADORATION AS THE NEW
QIBLAH -- for Himself and the Muslim Ummah for all time to come. That
IT should and must be held like so continually during a Muslim's
lifetime.
Now come the more important and nerve wrecking
questions. Why did Allah
-- a Transcendent God in Heaven CHOOSE AN OBJECT ON EARTH
FOR CONTINUAL REMEMBRANCE besides Himself?
IF ye LOVE Allah,
FOLLOW ME;
Allah will LOVE you and
FORGIVE you your sins.
----------
Well, this is Allah's one-sided
irreversible condition despite the fact that the Holy Prophet (SAS) BEHELD ANOTHER OBJECT ON EARTH AS VERY NEAR AND DEAR TO
HIM. What does it mean and also how do
we explain these
verses rationally?
Why did Allah NOT CHOOSE the Kabah instead, which was the oldest and Blessed Resort for
mankind -- HQ. 3:95? 
002.144 a. We have seen THEE TURNING THY FACE TO HEAVEN (for guidance, O
Muhammad).
b. And now
verily WE SHALL MAKE THEE TURN TOWARD A QIBLAH WHICH IS DEAR TO
THEE. 
c. So turn thy face toward the MASJIDIL-HARAAM,

HADITH RE: THE KABAH
The Holy Prophet said:
I would have dismantled the Ka'ba :
Hadith by
Sahih Bukhari.
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 128:
Narrated
Aswad:
Ibn Az-Zubair said to me, "Aisha used to tell you secretly a number of things.
What did she tell you about THE KA'BA?"
I replied, "She told me that once THE PROPHET
SAID 'O 'Aisha! Had not your people been
still close to the pre-Islamic period of ignorance
(infidelity)!
I WOULD HAVE DISMANTLED THE KA'BA
and would have made two doors in
it; one for entrance and the other for exit." Later on Ibn Az-Zubair did
the same.
---------------
This Hadith, if TRUE and most probably it is, needs no further elaboration.
_THE QUR'ANIC QIBLAH --
MASJIDIL-HARAAM_
However, not only did the Holy
Prophet (SAS) turn His Face to Heaven for
guidance but also there was A SPECIAL PLACE ON EARTH
which was also very CLOSE & DEAR to Him, to WHICH, Allah
ultimately asked Him and the rest of the Muslim world to turn their
faces.
In other words, this was supposed to be a continuous *Zikraa-- Reminder -- Remembrance of this HOLY PLACE*
that Muslims were asked to carry in their hearts and
minds. 088.021 REMIND them, for thou art
but a REMEMBRANCER, 006.090
Those are they whom Allah guideth, SO FOLLOW THEIR
GUIDANCE. Say (O Muhammad): I ask of you
no fee for it. Lo! it is naught but a REMINDER
to (His) creatures.
----------
It is evident from all
this thus far, that the main purpose behind the Holy Prophet's (SAS)
Mission was to REMIND the people. *REMIND them, for
thou art but a REMEMBRANCER.* And the Muslims, His followers
were exhorted like so:
033.021 Verily in the messenger of Allah ye
have a good example for him who looketh unto Allah and the Last Day,
and REMEMBERETH ALLAH
much.
--------
In accordance with this Qur'anic
Exhortation, every faithful Muslim believer should and must follow the good
or excellent EXAMPLE of the Messenger's (SAS) Faith and Practice of
Islam ONLY.
ALI
"A MAN WHOM ALLAHAND HIS APOSTLE LOVE"
Translation of
Sahih Bukhari, Volume 5, Book 57, Number 52: Narrated
Salama:
Ali happened to stay
behind the Prophet and (did not join him) during the battle of Khaibar for
he was having eye trouble. Then he said, "How could I remain behind
Allah's Apostle?" So 'Ali set out following the
Prophet , When it was the eve of the day in the morning of which Allah
helped (the Muslims) to conquer it,
Allah's Apostle said, "I will give the flag (to a man), or tomorrow a man whom Allah and His Apostle love will take the flag,"
or said, "A man who loves
Allah and His Apostle; and Allah will grant victory under his
leadership." Suddenly came ' Ali whom we did not
expect . The people said, "This is 'Ali." Allah's Apostle gave him the
flag and Allah granted victory under his
leadership.
---------
Volume 5, Book
57, Number 51:
Narrated Sahl bin Sad:
Allah's
Apostle said, " Tomorrow I will give the flag to a man
with whose leadership Allah will grant (the Muslim) victory." So
the people kept on thinking the whole night as to who would be
given the flag. The next morning the people went to Allah's Apostle
and
every one of them hoped that he would be given the
flag.
The Prophet said, "Where is Ali bin Abi Talib?" The people replied, "He is suffering from eye trouble, O Allah's Apostle." He said, Send for him and bring him to me."
So when 'Ali came, the Prophet spat in his eyes and invoked good on him, and he became alright as if he had no ailment. The Prophet then gave him the flag.
'Ali
said, "O Allah's Apostle! Shall I fight them (i.e. enemy) till
they become like us?" The Prophet said, "Proceed to them steadily
till you approach near to them and then invite them to Islam and
inform them of their duties towards Allah which Islam prescribes for
them, for by Allah, if one man is guided on the right path (i.e.
converted to Islam) through you, it would be better for you than (a
great number of) red camels."

The
Kabah--Ali's Birthplace
The Honour
Bestowed--Only Upon the
Imam Ali Ibin Abe Taleb

Fatimah Bint
Al-Assad
She was heavy with child, was passing by the Holy
House of God, The Holy Kabah, on her way to her
humble house. When sudden labour pains came upon her. She lent her swollen
body. for support on the Kabah sacred Walls to
desperatly steady herself and to wait out, for her pains to subside. But
instead the pains increased and she realised that her time for birth was
now upon her.
She frantically looked around her and saw the Kabah surrounding was busy with people, all strangers
to her, paying their homage around the Holy House of
God. Then the thought occurred to her, that she would give birth
infront all these strangers. So she looked up and prayed for God to help
her in her immeadiate dire need and to save her the embarressment of giving
birth to her child infront of all the people.
No sooner had
she prayed, the Kabah corner stones began to
split apart, and she slipped into Holy House
through the sudden opening. Which closed
immeadiatly after her. She suddenly was eneveloped by a tranquil air of
peace and purity. Beautiful women all smiling warmly reached out to greet
her and led her to a soft bed to lie upon. She must be in Heaven she
thought.
The people looked with utmost disbelief and crowded around
the Kaba's corner wall staring at the crack that
was still visible where the pregnant women sliped through. For three days and nights Fatimah Bint Al-Assad was within
The Kabah Holy walls. Then on the third day the walls again
began to split apart, just as before at the same place where they had split
before, and Fatimah appeared through the gap proudly holding a small infant
boy in her arms. The Holy Kabah walls once again
closed upon itself immeadiately
after her.
The
people gathered around the mother and child staring in wonderment at what
had befalled before them. They questioned her of the miracle they had all
just witnessed.
Fatimah told them that in her plight she had prayed
and pleaded to God for help and to provide her shelter to give birth to her
child. When she saw the walls split apart. She
cowered in fear. But four beautifull Ladies within spoke softly to her, and
told her not be afraid and that Allah(swt) had heard her prayer and so they
invited me in. She said as soon she entered. The holy walls behind
her closed and she was helped by the Ladies in her ordeal and she
gave birth to her new born son. Angels handed down to the Ladies
water and they cleaned her and her baby and prepared clothes for
the
small infant. For three days she ate and slept in peace in
the presence of the holy Ladies.
At that point Mohammad Al-Ameen (pbuh&) with his two uncles Abu Taleb, Abbass and Hamzah arrived at the scene.
Mohammad(pbuh) stood before Fatimah Bint Assad his foster mother and streched
out his arms and tooked the small child from her and smiled
warmly
down at him.
The mother then
proudly stated that she would name him Haider meaning 'Lion', but Mohammad(pbuh&hf) instead renamed him as Ali (as). He
explained to Fatimah that he was instructed by Allah(swt). A name no one
before him had ever been named before, and
Fatimah Bint Al-Assad rejoiced and thank Allah(swt) for His true
Blessing and help. Till this very day the miracle split of the stone
blocks of The Kabah wall is clearly visible.
ALL MUSLIMS HAVE BEEN ASKED TO TURN THEIR FACES TO HZT. ALI'S PLACE OF BIRTH VIZ., MASJIDIL HARAM
