Mecca, a city of immense significance in Islam, holds a special place in the hearts of Muslims. Its virtues, as described by Al-Hasan Al-Basri, are truly remarkable. Here’s a straightforward breakdown:
1. Quranic Importance: Mecca is mentioned over twenty times in the Quran, and these verses were revealed exclusively for this sacred city.
2. Beloved to Allah: Mecca is the dearest land to Allah and is considered the best city on Earth.
3. Historical Significance: Mecca’s historical importance is profound. It’s where the first mountain on Earth was placed, and even the angels performed rituals here before the creation of Adam.
4. Prophet’s Farewell: When rejected by their people, prophets would seek solace in Mecca. The only exception was the Prophet Muhammad, who left Mecca with a heavy heart when he had to.
5. Spiritual Rewards: Every good deed in Mecca carries immense blessings, with each one rewarded a hundredfold.
6. Divine Blessings: Daily, a hundred and twenty blessings descend on the Kaaba, including sixty for pilgrims, forty for worshippers, and twenty for those who simply gaze at the Kaaba.
7. Sacred Sites: Mecca has fifteen special places where prayers are readily answered, including the Black Stone, the Station of Abraham, and the Zamzam Well.
8. Ultimate Reward: Dying as a pilgrim or Umrah performer in Mecca comes with a direct entry to Paradise.
9. Sacred Locations: The valley of Ibrahim and the Zamzam Well are held in high esteem.
10. Angelic Presence: The angels surrounding the Kaaba are likened to those around the Throne of the Most Merciful.
11. Martyrs of Mecca: From the Mecca graveyard, seventy thousand martyrs will be raised on Judgment Day, entering Paradise without any reckoning.
Considering these exceptional qualities, it’s no wonder that Mecca holds a special place in the hearts of believers.
We ask Allah, the Most Generous, to grant us the opportunity to live in Mecca and provide us with lawful sustenance. Amen.
