Mecca and Hajj in the hearts of Muslims

Professor Ahmed Amin says: It is Mecca, where the Prophet was born in one of its houses, walking through its streets and markets, where his youth and old age, nearby, the cave of Hira, the cave in which the Prophet worshipped and where the revelation first descended on him.

It is Mecca, where the revelation has been followed for thirteen years, in which all the Meccan wall has descended, calling for the abandonment of idols and the worship of Allah alone.

This is Mecca, where the first events of Islam took place, and the Prophet (my the blessing of Allah upon him) called his people when they were exposed, struggling with them and patiently, and around him few followers who harmed their money and themselves would count on their Lord.

This is Mecca, where Dar Al-Arqem al-Makhzoumi was where the Messenger of God (my the blessing of Allah upon him) met at the heart of his mission with those who believed with him, and they prayed in secret until Omar delivered the message of the Messenger of God and was harmed.

This is Mecca, from which the Messenger of God (my the blessing of Allah upon him) emigrated after his people insisted on hurting him and his fathers, and they made him a virgin and wanted to imprison him, kill him or get him out, and then this is Mecca, which the Messenger of God enters, and he is forgiven for being a prophet. " When the victory of Allah has come and conquest . And you are the people entering into the religion of Allah in multitudes . Then exit (him) with praise of your Lord and ask forgiveness of him indeed . He is ever accepting of repentance . : Al-Naser 1 – 3.

This is Mecca, which has been the destination of the people in their pilgrimage from the reign of Abraham (peace be upon him ) to today... This is the Muslim community today from all over the world, chanting one chant and answering one meeting and resounding in its hopes: (There is no God to be worshiped but Allah but Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah).

This is Mecca, which pilgrims go to, is a valley confined to mountain ranges connected to each other, the foothills of these mountains have been built with dwellings gradually into the valley.

All these memories fill the soul and take the mosques of the heart, and enter them in the hajj season, you see wonder, hundreds of thousands of people in the dress of Ihram are immersed in religious feeling, full of prayer and meeting, and you see an exhibition that exceeds every exhibition of human races, different colors, different tongues, different customs, but they have been united by religious purpose, and united by faith, all of whom worship God alone, and all feel towards others the Islamic brothers.

This mass gathering is a common place of love, fraternity, equality and compassion, and they are overwhelmed by a noble religious feeling that shakes the heart and gives mercy.

In the center of Mecca, the eye is almost on the holly Mosque with its minarets.

This is the Kaaba, as soon as sees it, he draws his gaze and his heart fails, and his foot moves towards it, and he fills himself with fear, awe, bones and reverence, and sees himself as impulsive with the callers and the idiots swimming in the memories of what he has read of religion and history.

This is the Kaaba, whose position and surrounding God has made it a place for people and security.

This is the Kaaba, which every year hundreds of thousands of pilgrims voluntarily visit for the command of their Lord, to cleanse their souls, and to sport their hearts.

This is Mecca, whose fame is growing and expanding until people go from every deep gap, and this is a Mecca inhabited by Quraysh and cherished the keys to the Kaaba.
