Mecca

[Muslimah]

Bismillah


salam again arclight


It happened to me a lot, I found that the replies are present in my mind couldnt go to sleep.


1. Ka`ba is not a tourist attraction it is a place of worship.


2. The effect u r talking about is a fruit or let us be more precise is Allah's answer to the supplication of Abraham who said:


""O our Lord! I have made some of my offspring to dwell in an uncultivable valley by Your Sacred House (the Ka'bah at Makkah); in order, O our Lord, that they may perform the prayers, so fill some hearts among men with love towards them, and (O Allah) provide them with fruits so that they may give thanks.


" (Quran 14:37)


3. Being a place of worship, to be more precise for example circling Ka`ba equals prayer and the rules that we must observe during prayer applies there,i.e we cannt talk other than quran or supplications, we cannt interrupt the circiling, ..etc.


4. A non Muslim is impure due to taking associates with Allah, or other form of polytheism. Such impurity disallows a non Muslim for example to touch the Quran. When I say touch Quran here I mean the one in Arabic that does not contain Tafseer (explanation of Quran) or the translation of the meaning. The other forms such as translation of the meaning can be touched by an impure person including a non Muslim. As a Muslim may be under the same state on an number of cases that I dont want to discuss now so as to avoid taking u off topic.


5. Being in such state of impurity makes a non believer prohibited to enter into the Haram boundary. Actually this is a command of Allah.


6. Arclight, we dont need really to strive to make an impression on anyone to believe in Allah the way Allah Asked us to believe. One who believes is the winner and not anyone else.


7. Making money is not bad arclight, as u may understand from the verse I posted, Prophet Abraham prayer and peace be upon him, inovked upon Allah to sustain residents of this city and this shall continue till the day after. Haj and Umra is a source of income to those who reside in those cities and nothing is wrong with that. As for such hotels, I stayed in one of them a couple of times, seeing ka`ba from my room never detered me from hurrying up quite ahead of time to secure a good place right in Ka`ba for prayer. It never even attracted me to spend more time in the room. But rather we still hurry to spend as much time in Ka`ba arclight.


8. Stying in such hotels actually trigger more rememberance to Allah, praising Allah and being so grateful that Allah Provided us enough resources to be able to stay there.


9. Allah Created people with different monetary status, so why doesnt one who can afford spend more money there, while those with low income can still find adquate and affordable accomodation? Allah Likes to see the effect of His bounty on people. If I dont spend there, where do I spend?


Hope I answered your questions.


Whatever is correct is from Allah and may Allah Forgive any mistakes.
