SOME OF THESE PHOTOS WERE TAKEN [ISLAMIC LANDMARK'S PHOTOS] BY 3DMekanlar.com. THEY SAY THEY TOOK THEIR PHOTOS IN 2008. SO COULD SAY THESE PHOTOS WERE TAKEN AROUND 2008, OR THAT THIS IS HOW THE INTERIOR LOOKED IN 2008. THE PINK CARPET INTERIOR SHOWN ON THE INFORMATION BOARDS MAY HAVE HAPPENED AFTER 2008.

On outside photos it shows multiple door or window openigs in the older photos, but then no openings on the later photos. From the internal photos, it looks like these may have been multiple door ways - because whle these openings are no longer visible from outside possibly bricked up- they are visible from the inside and what appears to be double-doors with door handles, as opposed to windows. they are doors because they have light wells above the openers, and if they were windows they would not have needed them. Also check a left side picture of the Bp, as it may be that windows don't reach the ground, while doors do, and these definitely reach the ground.

Prophet Muhammad's (peace be upon him) birthplace in Makkah. Saudi government converted the place into a Library. Recently, Saudi's has announced .
The library of Makkah al-Mukarrama in place (of the honorable birth place):
Birthplace of the Prophet Muhammad PBUH in Makkah, owned by Shaykh Abbas Kattan who built this library. Historically and locally, this place is known as simply the birth place of the honorable Prophet Muhammad PBUH. The library is located on Al-Qashāshīa Street in the al-Mawlid (birthplace) District, which is known nowadays as souq al-lail (the Night Market).

JABAL-ABU-QUBAIS
EVENT OF SPLITTING MOON
QUBAIS MOUNT

Standing in Mutaf, keeping Hajra-e-Asvad (Black Stone) on his back, if someone sees above out of haram, this historic mountain is easily visible. It is the very first mount, which was created on the earth by Almighty Allah. It is very historic mount. At the time of Syedna Nooh (one great Prophet of Allah) when flood destroyed everything except the boat of his Prophet Nooh, Hajra-e-Asvad was placed here for safety.

The Event of Splitting Moon was also occurred at this mount. On the 9th year of Nabvi Calendar Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H.) splited moon into two parts simply by the indication of his holy finger.
Both the parts of the Moon travelled in against directions for a while and then they came back to joint.

This is very eventful mountain of islamic history. Prophet syedna Adam allihisalam was the first human being who built holy kabba by his hands. For this very first construction syedna Adam allihisalam used the stone this mount---jabal-e-abu-qubais.

MEDIA

In fact the topic (the makkah and madina) over which i have worked is itself has so magnetic attraction that the person behind it becomes automatically important.These are your affection that most of you appreciated ahlan.I specially thank Honourable Dr. Maleeha Lodhi, the ambassador of Pakistan In United kingdom who sent me few words of encouragement and honour which are really asset for me and her kind words will help me to make my work more better. Moreover i am thankful to Mr Tarik Allagany of royal embassy of saudi Arabia in USA and of Mr imran Ali 3rd secretary of pakistan embassy in washington DC-USA who sent me mails of compliments and honour.

I thank radio pakistan F.M 101 where the ahalan was discussed live for an hour . I never forget Mr Aftab Azeem ,Producer of religious programmes of Pakistan Television, who presented a 15 minutes interview regarding AHLAN in his weekly popular religious programme HI_YA_LAL_FALHA.

I also thank daily jang karachi ,daily dawn, daily jang london, daily express, daily pakistan, daily nawa e waqat, daily ausaf, daily khabrain, daily jasarat, weekly Akhbar e jahan, weekly family magzine, weekly the mag.monthly ghazi, monthly akhbare watan ,monthly Alakhbar, monthly awaz-e-khawateen, monthly Ahang and monthly pakistan post where ahlan is published on full length coloured pages. I do admit here that the print media really boasted ahlan very much and they played key role to promote ahlan among muslims all over the world.

Conversion to a library

The mosque didn’t exist by 1950. Under pressure from key religious figures of the time, the new Saudi government had levelled the house (and other significant historical sites) out of fear that people would make them a source of exaggerated veneration.
However, the Mayor of Makkah at the time, Shaykh Abbas Yusuf Qattan, was alarmed by these developments. He was successful at obtaining a legal document to gain control of the site and established a small library on top of the foundations of the home in 1953.

The library consists of two small floors in a rectangular shape with the main façade on the west facing Masjid al-Haram. It houses a large collection of manuscripts and many rare local, Arab and Islamic newspapers and periodicals.

Arrow direction [above] (Siti Khadijah's house) Siti Fatimah's birthplace

Siti Khadijah's house is located in Zuqaq Al-Hajar. In this house Rasulallah saw lived in a household with Siti Khadijah ra, his wife who was never married, for 28 years and all his sons and daughters were born in this place, including Qasim, Abdullah, Umm Kaltsum, Ruqayah, Zainab and Fatimah, his youngest daughter . And it was also in that house that Siti Khadijah died.

The Prophet SAW remained in this house until he received an order from Allah to migrate to Medina. According to Sayyid Dr. Muhammad bin Alwi Al-Maliki from Al-Azraqi, this house is the most afdhol place after the Grand Mosque, because many revelations came down in this place. After the Prophet SAW migrated to Medina, Siti Khadijah's house was taken by Aqil bin Abi Thalib ra and then sold to Muawiyah bin Abi Sufiyan who at that time served as Caliph, then Muawiyah built a mosque.

In 1373 H, Siti Khadijah's house was used as a School for Girls of the Qur'an by Sheikh Abbas Al-Qattan who at that time served as governor of Mecca, according to his request to the local government. After being approved by the government, the place became a waqf that could not be bought or sold, or rented, could not be transferred, exchanged or lent. In 1401 H, this place was then taken over by the government and demolished to expand the courtyard of the Grand Mosque. At the time of the demolition of the place, remains of the Prophet's relics were found, such as the Prophet's Mihrab facing the Kaaba, the Prophet's ablution basin, the Prophet's room, the birthplace of Siti Fatimah, etc.

After being dismantled, this house was used as a backdrop for the Grand Mosque, which is now located near Bab an-Nabi (the Prophet's Gate) or a few steps from the door. In the past, a small dome was built in that place, named Kubbah Al-wahy, meaning the dome where revelations came down, because revelations from Allah often came down through Gabriel in this house.

This is the exact location where the Prophet saw grew up from age of 8 to 25 in the house of Abu Talib.

The House of Hazrat Abu Talib (Alaihissalam) (Father Of Hazrat Maula Ali) Was Here.

The Prophet Muhammad (Salallahu Alaihe Wa Aalihi Wassalam) Lived Here From The Age Of 8 Until He Got Married.

His contributions to the early Muslim community, both on and of the battlefeld, continue to be celebrated, and his memory remains an integral part of Islamic history and tradition

Dar Ali bin Abi Talib

Overview

The house of Ali - may God bless him - and his upbringing and the home of his father, Abu Talib, is located in the shib of Bani Hashim, which was named after that the shib of Ali, and it is the house that the Messenger of God - may God bless him and grant him peace - inhabited - after his uncle Abu Talib took care of him.

Current location:

Dar Ali is located east of the Noble Sanctuary (Haram al-Sharif), at a distance of one and a half kilometers. It has been converted into a school called Al-Najah School.

--

So the Muslims retreated from the Holy City to a nearby valley, where they lived for about three years. It was a very hard time and until they eventually they ran out of food. The valley was known as Shi’b Abi Talib.

A shi’b is a way through a narrow place, with mountains on each side. It is different from a thaniya, which is a narrow pass, while shi’b would be more like a canyon or narrow valley. Shi’b Abi Talib has been known by other names: Shi’b Banu Hashim, Shi’b Abi Yusuf, and Shi’b ‘Ali bin Abi Talib.

Some records tell us that ‘Abd al-Muttalib owned property there, as well as the place where Khadija lived with the Prophet Muhammad. (Qāʾidān, Tārīkh wa āthār-i Islāmī-yi Makka wa Madina, p. 114)

So when the Muslims retreated back to their homes in this very narrow valley, the people of Quraysh came and barricaded the entrance and placed a guard there. So they were locked in. And for three years they suffered, until the boycott was lifted.

Al-Rahiiq al-Makhtum also mentions:

“Abu Talib wisely and quietly took stock of the situation and decided to withdraw to a valley on the eastern outskirts of Makkah. Banu Hashim and Banu Al-Muttalib, who followed suit, were thus confined within a narrow pass (referred to as ‘Shi‘b of Abu Talib’), from the beginning of Muharram, the seventh year of Muhammad’s mission till the tenth year, that is a period of three years.

Shi’b Abi Talib (Valley of Hz. Abu Talib

Valley where muslims along with Prophet Muhammad ﷺ spend three years when the polythiests of Mecca Sharif declared an economic and social boycott on them

Shi’b Abi Talib is a valley between the Mount Abu Qubays and the Mount Khandama in Mecca. When polytheists of Mecca declared an economic and social boycott on Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, Banu Hashim and Muslims, It was in Shi’b Abi Talib they lived for three years under blockade.

The valley was owned by Hz. Abd al-Muttalib رضي الله عنه and the house of Hz. Bibi Khadija رضي الله عنها where she lived with Hz. Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, and their children were born in, was located there.

The valley is in the east of Ka’ba, next to the place where Sa’y is performed. Because the valley is located close to Ka’ba, it was regarded as the best place in Mecca sharif.

As Hz. Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was also born in that region, it is also called as Shi’b al-Mawlid (the birthplace valley).

Bibi Fatima رضي الله عنها was born in this region as well.

Today, only a small part of this region, called Suq al-Layl, is left and the other parts were added to al-Masjid al-Haram in different expansions of the mosque.

Meccan boycott of the Hashemites

It was a public boycott against the clan of Banu Hashim, declared in 616 (7th year of Prophethood) by the leaders of Banu Makhzum and Banu Abd-Shams, two important clans of Quraysh.

According to tradition, the boycott was carried out in order to put pressure on Banu Hashim to withdraw its protection from Hz. Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.

The terms imposed on Banu Hashim, as reported by Ibn Ishaq, were “that no one should marry their women nor give women for them to marry; and that no one would trade with them, and when they agreed on that they wrote it in a deed.

t became a source of great troubles for the Muslims. They were forced to do their second migration to an area called Shib Abi Talib or Shib Abi Hashim where they suffered hunger. The boycott was ended in 619, the Year of Sorrow.

The boycott eventually collapsed mainly because it was not achieving its purpose; the boycott had caused extreme privation and the sympathizers within the Quraysh finally united to annul the agreement.

Quraysh force a boycott of the Muslims

When Islam began to spread the Makkans asked Abu Talib, the uncle and protector of the Prophet (ﷺ), to hand him over to them for execution but he steadfastly refused. Abu Talib acted fast and called on the members of Banu Hashim and Banu al-Muttalib to meet at the Ka’bah and convinced them to pledge that they would protect their clansman, Muhammad (ﷺ). Abu Lahab, another of the Prophet’s uncles and self-proclaimed sworn enemy, refused to take the pledge and declared he was on the side of the Quraysh.
The Quraysh held a meeting and decided to outcast the Banu Hashim and Banu al-Muttalib by placing them under a total social boycott. The other clans from the Quraysh would not marry their daughters, transact business with them, keep company with them, nor would they accept any peace overtures from these two clans until they handed over the Prophet (ﷺ).
Once all the people present had agreed with the points mentioned above, Baghid bin Amir bin Hashim put this pact in writing. The Quraysh chiefs signed this document and the parchment was hung in the Ka’bah in order to give it authority. This was done on the 1st Muharram, in the seventh year of the Prophet’s (ﷺ) mission. When the deed was done, Baghid’s hand, or at least some of his fingers, became paralysed.

The hardships the Muslims had to face

The Prophet (ﷺ), along with Abu Talib and clan members of Banu Hashim and Banu al-Muttalib were forced to withdraw from Makkah and live in She’eb Abi Talib, which was a subsection of one of the gorges that ran down to Makkah. The valley rested between Mount Abu Qubais to the south, and Mount Abyad to the north.
The boycott was devastating and for many months they lived in misery. It was so rigorously applied and food was so scarce that they had to eat the leaves of trees. The women, and more specially the children and suckling babies would cry with hunger which could be heard all over the valley. The Quraysh told the merchants not to sell any goods to them. Prices were increased to prevent them from buying even essentials. They remained in that state for three years. Apart from some kind Qurayshi people who secretly sent food to them they were totally abandoned. Despite such grim circumstances, the Prophet (ﷺ) never ceased inviting non-Muslims to Islam. He was particularly active during the time of Hajj. It was at this time that he would speak to tribes that had travelled to Makkah from all over the Arab world.

Support by some of the Quraysh

A group of fair-minded Quraysh, led by Hisham ibn ‘Amr, hated this unfair boycott. Hisham was highly respected among his people. He contacted some men of the Quraysh whom he knew to be kind-hearted and considerate. He told them it was shameful to allow such tyranny to continue and asked them to abandon the unjust contract. When he had persuaded five men to agree, they met together to work towards this end. When the Quraysh were assembled the next day, Zuhayr ibn Abi Umayyah, whose mother was the aunt of the Prophet (ﷺ), faced the people and demanded, “People of Makkah! Do we eat and clothe ourselves while the Banu Hashim are perishing, unable to buy or sell? By Allah, I will not sit down until this unjust document is torn up!”
Abu Jahal became suspicious of the sudden rebellion but Abu Talib saw his opportunity to step in. He had come into the precincts of Ka’bah to tell the Quraysh that the Prophet (ﷺ) had received a revelation about the fate of the wicked parchment. He stood up, and facing the Quraysh, told them that Allah had revealed to the Prophet (ﷺ) that termites had eaten the parchment inside the Ka’bah. The only thing that remained of the document, Abu Talib said, were the words “In Your Name, O Allah.” Abu Talib then challenged the Quraysh, saying that if the Prophet’s claim turned out to be false, he would no longer stand between them and the Prophet (ﷺ). However, if the Prophet had spoken the truth, the Quraysh should end the boycott. The Quraysh accepted Abu Talib’s challenge.

The boycott is nullified

When Mut’im bin Adiy rose to retrieve the parchment, the assembly saw that it had been destroyed. Its only remaining words were “Bismika Allahumma” (In Your Name, O Allah) and Allah’s name. Allah (ﷻ) had given the Quraysh yet another sign but once again they refused to admit their error and accept Islam. Their only concession was to end the boycott. The Prophet (ﷺ) and his Companions came out of the mountain pass and were allowed to live in Makkah once again.

If someone comes out from Haram through Marwa Gate, which is situated where the last and seventh round of Saie ends and keeping Marwa Gate behind, walks straight over marble flooring outside haram for a few yards, he would see a white coloured house at the dead end of white marble flooring. There is a green board fixed on that house on which Maktab-Al-Makkah-Al-Mukkarama is written.

5 . The new name of the road where the birth place is situated is known as "Shahra-e-Malik Saud".

6 . Photography of this place is prohibited.but can take picture from far away by zooming your camera

7. It is in the bottom of Mount Qubais . It is called Muhalla Qasheeqa.

8 . Pilgrims must see this place with great spiritual thoughts. It is really a place of honour to see.

9 . Generally this holy house remained closed and opens in their specific times but saudi administration discourages people to go inside. pilgrims may see it from outside. It depends on your luck may get it opened at any time.

1 . If you come out from "Haram"through "Bab-e-Abdul Aziz" and walk straight for few yards you will find yourself in a road which is slightly in slope and a multi-storied, modernly built building will be at your right hand. It is called "Muhalla Misfala"- (Misfala means Slope). It is very populated area and both the sides of road have different types of shops and restaurants. When you walk few yards ahead, you find a mosque on your right hand. It is the house of"Syedna Abu Bakar Siddiq (RA)". Although, it is stone throwing distance from "Haram" yet five times regular "Salat" are offered here.

2 . It is the place (house)where from beloved Prophet Muhammad (S. A. W.) started the journey of migration (Hijart) towards "Madina-e-Munawwara". In the night big and well powered people of "Makkah" were standing with their sharp swords, covering this house with bad intentions. The Prophet (S. A.W.) ordered "Syedna Ali (RA)"to lay over his bed and started to recite the verses of holy Surah of "Yaseen".Prophet (S. A. W.) came out with his companion syedna Siddiq(RA) and passed through enemies reciting verses of "Holy Surah Yaseen"and pouring mud over their heads. It was the help of Allah who made enemies unconscious or half sleepy.

ABOVE PHOTO: House of syedna Hamza R.A. IN MISFILLAH MAKKAH FROM: https://www.ahlanpk.org/z3.html

syedna Hamza R.A was the uncle of prophet sallallaho allihi wasalam. Only two uncles of holy prophet sallalla ho allihi wasalam accepted islam and syedna Hamza was one among them. Second one was Syedna Abbas R.A .
syedna Hamza R.A was very brave soldier and he embraced shahadat in the battle of uhad, Madina Munawarrah. (complete detail of this battle and shahadat of Ameer Hamza R.A has been explained in the portion of MADINA )
He accepted islam miracally. One day when he came back to makkah in the evening from hunting out side the town, he learnt that kuffar-e-Makkah had teased very much to his nephew prophet Muhammad sallalla ho allihiwasalam. He became very angry and drew his sword out and shouted that he would spare head of those who had teased his beloved nephew . Kuffar said that your nephew was preaching for ONE GOD and denying even your religion . How is it possible hamza that you would spare head to those who believe in your religion. Hearing these words of expolitation syedna Hamza recited words of KALMA-E-SHAHADAT loudly and embraced islam . Kuffar became frightened and started to move from there .Syeda hamza was the 39th person who accepted islam and this historic event had occured only 3 days before the embracing islam of syedna Umer R.A.

BELOW PHOTO: Name frame is fixed on front wall of Masjid FROM: https://www.ahlanpk.org/z3.html

When syedna Hamza accepted islam in makkah , he used to live in Mohallah MISFILAH (misfillah means slope) in the same street where syedna ABUBAKAR SIDDIQUI had resided and it was the house where from Rasool Allah sallallaho allihi wasalm started jouney of hijrah with syedna Abu bakar (Its' detail is given seperately in the topic of "HOUSE OF SYEDNA ABU BAKAR"). Both the houses are still situated in this muhalla but now these houses has been converted in MASAJID . House of syedna Abu bakar is called MASJID-E-HIJRAH and house of syedna Hamza is called MASJID-E-HAMZA.

Though Masjid-e-Hamza is few meters way from Masjid-ul-Hram yet 5 times azan and salat is offered regularly. If you come come from haram through BAB-E-ABDUAL AZIZ gate , you will find a huge building of BIN DAUD (wooden work is done on the windows of this multi-storied building). Keeping this building at your right you go forward . It is muhalla misfilah. Keep walking untill bulding ends and fter few yards further walk
you will get a narrow congested right way turn near a pakistani hotel (MUTAM) . Take right turn from here and come to other street parrell to previous street and take left turn steping in new street. It is small street . you will find this Masjid at your right . A frame is fixed on front wall telling "masjid-e-Hamza".You may say this small street in width as well as in length is in between misfilah street and big, famous double track "SHARA_E_IBRAHEEM KHALEEL_ULLAH ".

1. It is the well where the Prophet (P.B.U.H.) stayed when Muslims surrounded Makkah on 10th Ramadan 8 Hijra. Here now days a mosque is built. Its' name is Masjid-ul-Raya. Prophet Muhammad sallallaho allihi wasalam had used the water of this well for bathing before entering in the Holy city of Makkah, when it was captured by muslims. It is situated in Muhallah (Area) Shoab Amir, right to Masjid-e-Jinn. In arabic Raya means “Flag”. This was the point where Prophet (P.B.U.H.) hoisted flag of victory.

2 . If pilgrims come out from masjid-ul-haram through Bab-e-marwa which is one of the main gates in haram , he can reach o this mosque easily.(More guidance may be taken from the topic of Masjid-e-jin or Jannat-ul-maolla as it is near to both of these places.)

This is the purest part of the earth. This is the place which is chosen by Almighty Allah (GOD) for His HAR`M. In Holy "Quran" it is called "BA-BAKKATUL MUBARKA". This part of the earth is also discussed and explained in other religious book like Bible

It is called "UM-MUL QURA" which means the mother of all cities.

Due to respect and purity, there is no Airport in Makkah but in Jeddah, which is one hour drive away has two International Airports and a sea port . Jeddah is the first destination for the pilgrims.

--M. WHICH MEANS IT MUST BE THE BEST PLANNED, RESPECT SACREDNESS, BALANCED,

SEE ABOUT JEDDAH THE GRAVE OF :

For academic information it may be noted that in arabic jeddah means "grand mother or ancestor" . Since this is the city where the grave of syeda hawa (the EVE) is situated, it is called Jeddah (city of the mother of all human beings). SEE HIS PHOTO OF THE GRAVE SEYDA EVE. Grave of bibi Hawwa---(The EVE) in jeddah

On the other hand Qubais Mount is called the first ever mount which was created by Almighty Allah on the earth. SEE ISLAMIC LANDMARKS ON MORE ABOUT THIS MOUNTAIN NEAR THE BP.

The first mountain created by God on earth is Mount Abu Qubais

Standing in Mutaf, keeping Hajra-e-Asvad (Black Stone) on his back, if someone sees above out of haram, this historic mountain is easily visible. It is the very first mount, which was created on the earth by Almighty Allah. It is very historic mount. At the time of Syedna Nooh (one great Prophet of Allah) when flood destroyed everything except the boat of his Prophet Nooh, Hajra-e-Asvad was placed here for safety.

The Event of Splitting Moon was also occurred at this mount. On the 9th year of Nabvi Calendar Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H.) splited moon into two parts simply by the indication of his holy finger.
Both the parts of the Moon travelled in against directions for a while and then they came back to joint.

This is very eventful mountain of islamic history. Prophet syedna Adam allihisalam was the first human being who built holy kabba by his hands. For this very first construction syedna Adam allihisalam used the stone this mount---jabal-e-abu-qubais.

When the Prophet Adam was given the task of building the Kaaba, he took rocks from Mount... m. The Kaaba was built for the first time on earth by Prophet Aadam...

Prophet Aadm died at the foot of the mountain and was buried there.

Before, this was the Mount of Abu Qubays. After building the Ka'aba, Nabi Ibrahim [a] stood on this mountain and called mankind to come and worship Allah. When the Holy Prophet [s] first started preaching Islam publicly, he stood on Jabal Abu Qubays and called mankind to submit to Allah.

It is believed that it was from the top of this mountain that the Prophet (ﷺ) pointed to the moon and split it into half.

This name arose from the tradition that this mountain safeguarded the Hajar al-Aswad (the Black Stone of the Ka’bah) when the flood in the time of Prophet Nuh (عليه السلام) rushed through Makkah, destroying it along with the Ka’bah. Jabal Abu Qubais, believed by some to have been the first mountain on earth created by Allah (ﷻ) is narrated in several records as having been the final resting place of the Hajar al-Aswad during this catastrophic event. Then, as these records assert, once Prophet Ebrahim (عليه السلام) had been guided to the location of the Ka’bah’s foundations and was subsequently engaged in reconstructing it, he was further guided to where the Hajar al-Aswad was resting upon Mount Abu Qubais. He was then informed that it was a stone that had descended from Jannah (Paradise) and was told where it should be placed on the Ka’bah.

According to at-Tabari, Prophet Adam (peace be upon him) died at the foot of Jabal Abu Qubais and was subsequently buried there.

A royal palace currently exists on top of the mountain.

HOUSE OF HALIMA SADIA
PROPHET saw BROUGHT UP

It is the place in Banu Saad area just before Taif where Sayyida Halimah Saadiyya's village was. He brought up the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) at this place. When Banu Sa'd accepted Islam, Sayyida Halima reached Medina with her daughter and accepted Islam. The Holy Prophet (PBUH) warmly welcomed his foster mother and sister and made them sit after spreading his cloak. Later sent them away with many gifts.

In a village called Shuhta near Taif, the tribe of Sayyida Halimah Saadiyya (R.A.) still resides in Banu Saadabad. This area is located on the tourist highway from Al-Baha to Taif. Its distance is about 170 km from Al-Baha and 70 km from Taif.

There was an ancient mosque of Banu Saad on a hill, of which only the stones remain. . This is probably the mosque that was built after Banu Saad accepted Islam. Next to the mosque was the house of Sayyida Halima Saadia, which consisted of two small stone rooms. Sayeda will live with her husband in one room and the other room will be for the children. Now only the stones of these rooms remain.

” This picture is of the ruins of the same house of Halima Saadia where Bibi Halima brought you to be raised away from Mecca according to the Arab custom - “

at the age of two or three years. Sayyidna Muhammad bin Abdullah (peace be upon him) used to run on these hills. This is where you grazed goats at a young age.

"And at this same place, once the angels came down to earth and kissed the blessed chest of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) while he was playing with the children - all the children would run away in fear, but the angels washed his blessed heart. He filled it with knowledge, wisdom and light, which every Muslim remembers from the incident of Sadr - this is the blessed and precious place.

HATEEM...

1. A half circled place adjacent to Kabat-ullah is called "HATEEM".

ONE THING MUST BE CLEARED IN MIND:
Whole the Hateem area is not Kabbas' inner side
It must be noted here that an area of approximately 3 meters adjacent to the wall on the side of the Hateem actually constitutes as being part of the Ka’bah, the rest falls outside the Ka’bah. It is however clear that Tawaf must be performed outside the complete area of the Hateem. The rest part is of Hateem was actually the shelter of Syedna ismael allihi salam and his mother syeda Bibi hajra and it is called HAJR_E_ISMAEL.

Whole curved wall area is not inner part of Kaba .The area only 3 meters from kaba wall is
inner kaba area and rest the back area till the hateem curved wall is the spot of syedna ismael
A.S and syeda Bibi Hajras' shelter where they used to live.

It means tawaf is done in rectangular shape covering holy kaba as well as hateem and hijr-e-ismael . Secondly no compulsory salat (5 times mandatory prayers) is permitted to offer in hateem. Hateem is closed when the imam leads 5 time compulsory prayer. However pilgrims may offer their nafils (optional prayers) in this area. pilgrims try to offer two rakat nafil here quickly as it is very little place and many many muslim brothers and sisters wait for their turn. Ladies may also offer their nafil salat here behind men at any time.

4 .This place has been kept open so that a worshiper could get the opportunity to pray (NAFIL) here. It is just an equal honour for a faithful as he prays inside the Kabat-ullah.

6 . It is said that Syedna ISMAIL (Allaihi Salaam) and his Mother Syeda HAJIRA (Allaihi Salaam) are lying to rest under "Hateem" but their physical graves are not visible . people must not be curious to explore the graves of these two noble personalities as it is the place of Almighty Allah and they must try to keep their full attention towards his Lord.

7 . Hateem is also called Hajar.

It is the northern wall of Kaba in Hateem side.

In front of the northern wall of the Holy Kaba (Northern wall is the wall on which Mezab a Rahmat is located) there is a 1.31 meter high semi-circular wall. The area between the northern wall of Kaba and this semi-circular wall is commonly known as Hateem. Some people also call this area as Hijr a Ismail, but in reality this area consists of both.

Lots more info on about the Kaaba,

Both photos below from: https://www.ahlanpk.org/k20.html

GOD MAKES ALL MUSLIMS TO DO TAWAF AROUND THE KAABA, WITH THE BODY OF A PROPHET BURIED RIGHT THERE, WHY BECAUSE THE CICUMBULATION OF A HOLY PROPHET IS NOT AN ACT OF WORSHIP BECAUSE YOUR NOT WORSHIPING THE PROPHET, BUT YOU'RE SEEKING A MEANS ... m. of gaining blessings

SO PEOPLE NOT ALLOWED TO READ FARDS PRAYER IN HATEEM,

BUT THEY ARE ALLOWED TO PRAY VOLUNTARY PRAYERS NAFL, ON TOP OF/OVER PROPHET ISMAIL'S GRAVE

THEY CAN STAND THERE OVER THE GRAVE AND MAKE DUA TO ALLAH.

THEY CIRCUMBULATE AROUND THE HATEEM, WITH THE GRAVE IN THE HATEEM BELOW GROUND

THEY CAN DO TASBEE THERE OR OTHER TYIPES OF ZIKR

The burials of Sayyidna Ismail (peace be upon him)
and Bibi Hajra (peace be upon him

Along with the northern wall of Kaaba Mashrafah, which is made like an arc-shaped cover, it is commonly called Hatim or Hajar Ismail, and it is generally believed that This is the inner part of Kaaba Mashrafah, which could not be built due to the lack of permissible capital during the construction of the people of Quraysh, and remained outside Kaaba Mashrafah, and to determine its boundaries, it is the inner part of Kaaba around it. An arc-shaped wall was made so that those performing Tawaf would perform Tawaf from outside it and during Tawaf they would not come within the boundaries of the Kaaba because Tawaf must be performed from outside the boundaries of the Kaaba - this arc-shaped wall you can see in this picture. and people from outside it are performing Tawaf - an idea about it which is also quite correct is that the action of one who performs the Nafl prayer inside this arc-shaped wall, i.e. in Hatim, is exactly the same as if someone Prayed inside the Kaaba Sharif -

Today's Hatim is decorated with very beautiful cold white marble slabs (SLABS), but today's pilgrims are now deprived of visiting some of the great places inside it - if they visit these corners in Hatim. Even if they do know, they must be ignorant of the actual location of these corners - that's why in today's Ahla quiz, you are presented with an old picture of Hatim or Hajar Ismail showing these blessed and great corners. You can see -

In this photo, in the first row inside Hatim, where some people are also seen praying, there are prayer-like markings on the floor along with Tawatar which I have indicated by placing blue dots along with Tawatar -

Also, you can see a long rectangular mark in the red dot in this image behind the squiggly row, along with the smaller square mark that I have denoted by the "green dot" -

Hatim or This entire row of blue dots in Hajar Ismail, the long rectangular mark of red dots and the small square of green dots marking important historical and blessed corners,

actually Hatim or Hajar Ismail consists of two parts - Kaaba Al-Mushrafah. The wall on which is Mizab Rehmat, that is, a channel for water falling from the roof. From there, the inner part of three tenths of one meter of Hatim is actually the inner part of the Kaaba, which could not be included in the Kaaba Mashrafah due to the lack of permissible and halal moon at the time of the Quraish's construction. Tak is not the inner part of the Kaaba, but it is the place where Bibi Sayyida Hajra along with her son Sayyidna Ismail (peace be upon him) used to live next to the wall of the Kaaba - at this place, for these two mothers and daughters and their goats, the palu wood and A hut was made of palm branches and these two beings used to lean against the wall of the Kaaba in their room---what a good abode---- which my Allah wrote in the destiny of these two beings-- Neighborhoods are jealous. On this shack living in two neighborhoods -

The house or hut of Bibi Sayyida Hajra and Sayyidna Ismail (peace be upon him) is called "Hajar Ismail" - this makes it clear that three tenths of a meter from the wall of the Kaaba is the actual Hatim i.e. the inner part of the Kaaba, while the rest The entire section, up to the arc-shaped wall, is "Hajar Ismail" - at the time of construction by the Quraysh, that wall could not be removed from the place which was completely adjacent to the chamber of Bibi Sayyida Hajra and Sayyidna Ismail (peace be upon them) and which These two persons used to sit leaning on each other - rather, this wall was erected three tenths of a meter before the original boundaries of the Kaaba, which we can see in today's picture - this is why the Kaaba is three tenths of a meter. The inner part of it was automatically joined to Hajar Ismail - and thus Hatim and Hajar Ismail merged into each other which they are till today - that is why some people call it Hatim and others call it "Hajar Ismail" -

one thing is clear and necessary. It is said that before the construction of the Quraysh, there was no roof on the Kaaba and the Quraysh wanted to put a roof on it for the first time, but the legitimate and halal capital was not enough to put a roof on the entire Kaaba. The wall was erected three tenths of a meter before the boundary of the original Kaaba - you can see this wall in this picture as well - it is not based on the original foundation of the Kaaba and the original foundation is three tenths of a meter outside the Kaaba in Hatim. Meters away - In this old photo, the entire section of the Hatim is engraved with masla marks, indicating that only this part of the Hatim is actually the inner part of the Ka'ba - I have seen it frequently. It is indicated by the blue dot - so the answer to the first question is that the frequent blue dots are marking the inner part of Kaaba Mashrafah - there is no such sign in the current Hatim - just you." You can imagine by looking at the picture of and by going to Hatim, you can determine this place by guess -

Sayyidna Ismail (peace be upon him) was only fifteen years old when his mother Sayyida Bibi Hajra died, so he was buried in Hajar Ismail. You will do it - the green dot is marking the grave of Mubarak - about one hundred and twenty one years after this Tad Fan, when Sayyidna Ismail (peace be upon him) died at the age of 136 Mubarak, your Tad Fan was also buried. Ismail was buried at a distance of 63 inches from his mother's grave just below Meezab Rahmat - the oblong rectangular mark visible at the place of the red dot marks the location of Sayyidna Ismail's tad fan. Doing -

The famous traveler "Ibn Battuta" while writing about his visit to Makkah in his travelogue, says, "A green rectangular arch-shaped marble was placed on the grave of Hazrat Ismail (peace be upon him) with a width of approx. It was 14 inches - about
63 inches away from it, Bibi Hajra is also resting on the side of Rukn Iraqi.There is a green round stone on the grave.

But there are no such signs in the current Hatim - now you can only imagine these places in your mind by seeing these places in this picture presented by the forum of Ahla - and this imagination of yours will definitely give you spiritual satisfaction. -

The library is located on Al-Qashashiya Street in Abu Ali or the people of Al-Mawlid, which is currently called the Night Market. Sheikh Abbas Qattan, the former capital of Mecca, was seeking to establish a public library that agreed with his brothers Al-Kurdi to buy the library of the late Sheikh Majid Kurdi, known as the Majid Library, and to transfer the contents to this house.

Every true believer knows that the Prophets of Allah are always alive according to the Quran and Hadeeth but this simple fact is not understood by some people as they removed the most beautiful name of Muhammad [PBUH] from the golden lattice. In this old picture, it can be clearly seen that ‘Ya Allah‘ and ‘Ya Muhammad‘ [PBUH] are written: In 1925, the Saudi government changed ‘Ya Muhammad‘ to ‘Ya Majeed‘ which is one of the 99 names of Allah:

Safa Palace

‎

Built: 1980

The Royal Palace of Safa (‘Safa Palace’) in Makkah is one of the modern royal palaces, established during the reign of King Khalid bin Abdulaziz, may God have mercy on him, in Makkah during 1980.

Overlooking the Grand Mosque and Holy Ka’bah (towards the end of Mount Safa), the building is located on Mount Abu Qubais, historically known for its embrace of the Black Stone at the time of the flood during the reign of Prophet Noah (peace be upon him), and also the mountain on which it is believed that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) pointed to the moon to split it into half.

The palace witnessed many prominent political events, including the convening of the Islamic Summit in 2012. The Saudi government reside in the palace in the last half of Ramadan and the King stays in it in the last ten days.
