[Yaadein_Meri] ¤~¤The Kaba:Its Size & History ¤ 3rd

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 Various Photo's and illustrations of Kaaba since then (in no particular order) Construction After The Prophet's Time Abdullah  ibn  Az-Zubayr The Syrian Army Destroyed The Kaba in Muharram 64 (Hijri Date) And Before The Next Hajj Abdullah ibn Az-Zubayr,  May Allah Be Pleased With Him,  Reconstructed The Kaba From The Ground Up. Ibn Az-Zubayr Wanted To Make The Kaba How The Prophet Muhammad Wanted it,  On The Foundation Of The Prophet Ibrahim. Ibn Az-Zubayr Said,  " I Heard Aisha ( May Allah Be Pleased With Her ) Say, ' The Prophet Said:  " If Your People Had Not Quite Recently Abandoned The Ignorance ( Unbelief ),  And if I Had Sufficient Provisions To Rebuild it  [ The Kaba ], I Would Have Added Five Cubits To it From The Hijr.  Also, I Would Make Two Doors;  One For People To Enter There in And The Other To Exit." (Bukhari). Ibn Az-Zubayr Said,  "  Today, I Can Afford To Do it And I Do Not Fear The People. Ibn Az-Zubayr Built The Kaba On Prophet Ibrahim's Foundation.  He Put The Roof On Three Pillars With The Wood Of Aoud (A Perfumed Wood With Aroma Which is Traditionally Burned To Get A Good Smell Out Of it in Arabia ). In His Construction He Put Two Doors,  One Facing The East The Other Facing The West, As The Prophet Wanted But Did Not Do in His Lifetime. He Rebuilt The Kaba On The Prophet Ibrahim's Foundation,  Which Meant That The Hateem Area Was included.  The Hateem is The Area Adjacent To The Kaba Enclosed By A Low Semi-Circular Wall. Abdullah ibn Az-Zubayr Also Made The Following Additions And Modifications : -- Put A Small Window Close To The Roof Of The Kaba To Allow For Light. -- Moved The Door Of The Kaba To Ground Level And Added A Second Door To The Kaba. -- Added Nine Cubits To The Height Of The Kaba, Making it Twenty Cubits High. -- its Walls Were Two Cubits Wide. -- Reduced The Pillars inside The House To Three instead Of Six As Were Earlier built by Quraish. For Reconstruction, ibn Az-Zubayr Put Up Four Pillars Around Kaba And Hung Cloth Over Them Until The Building Was Completed. People Began To Do Tawaf Around These Pillars At All Times, So Tawaf Of The Kaba Was Never Abandoned, Even During Reconstruction. { Continue } ==================== Talib E Dua Mrs Rubina Yasmeen ======================
