When someone asked you to talk about the Saudi wars against Israel, your response was, “History channel, not political or social commentary news feed channel.” So the war in 1948 is not history, but talking about the current buildings in Saudi Arabia in bad manner is history?! If you have a problem with us, be a man and speak up, instead of twisting like snakes and acting like disgusting weaklings.
Assalam alaykum brother. Is there an email i can reach you with? I have a thesis document i got from our university library that i would like to share with you to shed some light on some history of yemeni who came to kenya in early 1900s in mombasa. It wasnt my field of study but i was curious to research on the history of my yemeni grandparents who settled in kenya. It was done by a student in 1980s for her masters degree and she actually managed to gather some good historical knowledge despite the lack of proper documentation of the history. I feel it can be beneficial to add up on east african muslim influences and assimilation into the society.
Those skyrise buildings should have been built 5 km to 10 km radius away to emphasise the reverence of Kaaba monolith. Just an opinion from a non-Muslim.
many Saudi themselves didn't like it so does many Muslims in the world but non of us have any says on it because of the Prince. Any scholars, ministers adn citizen of the kingdom that criticized what ever he does will be jail or silence. even Muslims outside of Saudi were ban form going to do the Hajj if they are know to be criticizing the royal family publicly. If they want to built it outside from the Al haram complex its not a problem, but this site is sacred and has always been sacred. If that tower fall down some day it will ruined the whole complex.
One thing that I can add to this conversation is just the mere aspect of "logistics". I did my Hajj in the 1990's and back then there were very few structures around the Haram. So even though the Masjid which held about 750,000 to 1 million people when full, it quite literally emptied in 15 minutes and this without causing anguish to the individuals. Now, with all of those building right up next to the Haraam, and with the extension that is used, the Mosque has even more people in it, and it doesn't empty for nearly an hour, and it is very crushing to get out. Add to this, that many of the doors are closed, which makes it even worse, and barriers are moved and changed while "herding" the worships like as if they were cattle doesn't lend itself to the uplifting experience as most would expect of this beautiful site that to a Muslim has such a deep meaning. What I've described isn't even during Hajj, but those experiences that I have had while doing Umrah in these past few years. And the getting around isn't just for getting in and out of the Masjid, but just getting around in that area, to use the Wudu facilities, going around to get to the other side, use to be a lot easier, but now it is logistically challenging. I really feel sorry for the older people, for females and especially the poor.
Where do we keep all the pilgrims then? They need a place to stay and they prefer to be close to the kabba. What I feel like a lot of people are missing is the fact that the clock tower does put the kabba at the center
At long last someone who agreed with me, I have had some extreme backlash against my objections about the Haram, my view were purely based on our Beloved Prophet PbuH , he was the humblest man with the purest soul, Makkah should represent modesty, humanity and kept that serenity and authenticity not Hollywood and RAZZMATAZZ, Saudi is vast, there were no reason to build all skyscrapers around Makkah, it’s an eyesore and I personally think it’s extremely DISRESPECTFUL
Perfect analogy regarding making solah on outskirts so you don't get stuck trying to get out of the Haram, just to continue shopping. My advice to my younger self, don't focus on the shopping, focus on being in the Haram and ibadah
They should've built those structures like 3-5 km away. You don't feel Haram the way it used to be. People busy taking pictures, selfies and videos of structures instead of focusing on the real issue. Total distractions which we don't need
They have been doing this since last 25 years to build skyscrapers all around the Holy Kaba. It is really horrible that they're making it a business culture while removing all spiritual sense. In Medina they has built already shopping mall just beside the Masjid Naabawi where all the BDS shops are selling mini-skirts etc. You can look t up in YT video. May Allah guide us and not make us among the munafiq.
Yes it has shatan bull horn on top of that tower not looked like moon because moon opening shap should be slanted in angle not open 90 degree towards sky
@@mran6429they got this on the minarets of the kabah harem aswell I thought I was the only one who always noticed and was disturbed by it but subhaanAllah you noticed too bro
Thank you both brothers and enlightening us on this matter. @Tariq it’s always a pleasure to see you brother. There is a matte that It might be slightly off-topic, which I would like to bring here on table and which I have been reflecting on the decision to massive renwement that was going on the holy mosque beside the tall buildings and other changes coming up in replacement of more important islamic historical sights. During a debate with some brother on this topic , I raised a question about the changes that have taken place in Mecca over the last 80 years. It is surprising to note that instead of preserving the ‘more’ valuable heritage and culture, this “got out of hand” trend of renewal leading to the disappearance of historical sites. For instance, the birthplace of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) has been transformed into a library as also many significant cultural and heritage sites, such as the houses of prominent Islamic figures and early Muslim companies, no longer exist let alone their original form. I believe this leaded that us as future generations have not the opportunity to experience the authentic historical settings. One argument beside the growing numbers of Muslims presented in favor of these changes is that the علماء were afraid that Muslims would be more likely to visit these locations for worship if they were kept in their original state. However, I find this rationale to be questionable. Unfortunately, a similar situation exists in Medina, where luckily not all the historical sites have been lost. But over time and this madness of modernisation it’s a matter of time. On the other hand, I’m strongly surprised when we compare this approach to how the government has preserved the village of Ben Quraydah, leaving it untouched we can appreciate the value of maintaining historical authenticity. Not even a single stone has been moved in Benu Quraydah, allowing visitors today to experience and connect with the past during tours of the area. I know before jumping on me here saying that the two areas cannot be compared, but taking into account the historical value, this could have been taken into account if there was a well-thought-out plan. Anyway it’s quite a subject that also raises so many questions.
The thing is that we Muslims feel that haram belongs to us but ksa is sovereign state and sadly they are in physical possession of the haram while we are mere tourist for them.
KSA is only a facilitator the Haram is administered by Awqaf. Saudi government doesn’t prohibit any person from performing their religion duties. To ensure that pilgrims can complete Hajj issues permits accordingly simply for the sheer number of pilgrims. For Umrah you can visit much easier and throughout the year. We don’t see you as tourists we see guests of Allah
@@TheMksks I don't think you understand what I am trying to say. KSA is a family ruled kingdom with subjects. The land belongs to the kind and so does it's people. The king decides how to administer his land including the haram. Awqaf is not independent of the king and neither is the construction of those tall buildings overlooking the haram. It all belongs to the king and he decides wat he deems fit. We as pilgrims have no right in the matter of which building goes where. So if the king demolishes thr house of Khadija a.s.and builds a toilet on it, we have no right to question it.
@@shoaibriz Do you think we are inadequate or incompetent for all people to have a say in how we conduct our affairs? Rather, we are very competent, and no one can do better! Praise be to Allah ﷻ and His success which He granted us, neither by our power nor by our grace.
@@alal039 I am a lowly haqeer person. Who am I to come between what Allah has bestowed upon you with his infinite grace, my Allah grant you more fro his endless bounty. But my dear brother be careful with the responsibility that Allah has given you, nothing stays permanent in this world and Allah does not like boastfulness. The Haram is yours, you may build a 1000 more skyscrapers around it. But even with such endless power you have over us, you get flustered by a small comment by a haqeer. Why is that ?
I have always abhorred these high rise construction of buildings around Kaaba, why did they allowed it was an idiotic decision, just for the sake of money.
Have you been there? Without those buildings it is impossible for people to be there. It was hard to travel there so few people go there. Now millions of people are coming easily. Do you want the 1800 design of Haram?
I appreciate this video and the thought behind it and I know it bears no ill will towards Saudi Arabians nor their government but lets not forget that in 1926 King Abdulaziz (may God have mercy upon his soul) invited all arab and muslim leaders to help aid with the maintaince and preservation of the grand mosque and Kaa'ba because its for all muslims, and to no one's surprise none of them helped with even a Riyal and some even suggested that britian should mandate it or the united nations. Few years later God blessed us with the discovery of crude oil which helped us develop rapidly and our first priority was the maintance and develpoment of the two grand mosques. My point is you can give your opinions and all the suggestions you want but don't talk as if we are doing it wrong, no other nation could have done a fraction of what we did to the holy mosques and history is my witness check out the expansions of the msoques over the years and you will find out what I am talking about.
Thank you for your thoughtful and insightful commentary. The discussion is not critical but simply analytical "how can it be done better". The key consideration being to perhaps create a space around the Kaabah beyond which the malls and hotels can be reached by connected transport. The Kaabah is timeless and the focal point of reference for all of us. Allah will reward the government for it's commitment and service however if advice is not admissible then improvement may not be possible.
السلام عليكم Brother I disagree on your point because the family of Mohammed Bin Salman did not come to power except by a CIA spy (King Abdul Aziz nephew who lived in America shot and betrayed him). They are two different families
ACTUALLY IT IS NOT GOOD THING TO SHRINK THE KABA AREA & BUILD HIGH BUILDINGS. IT IS NOT SAFE FOR ANY MEANINGS. BECAUSE THE ENEMY'S CAN SHOOT THE IMPORTANT FIGURES FROM THESE VERY HIGH BUILDINGS. SO HONESTLY, I PREFER TO STOP THESE LONG BUILDINGS AROUND THE KABA FOR SAFETY REASONS. THANKS FOR ALL TO WHOM I T MY CONCERN.
sadly going to Makkah has also become a photo op for especially young people to get the perfect social media post instead of focusing on the experience and blessing of being in the Haram.
Why the hotel rents in mecca go up during Ramadan and haj, rents doesn't go up in Jerusalem during Christmas or easter...why saudi government is allowing this.
So so true. It’s a shame because Islamic/ Arab architecture is celebrated throughout the world. But in Mecca this is completely tree out the window. It literally looks like a casino city like Vegas or Macau. Instead it should be inspired by Muscat and such other classic cities.
How did it leave the middle east?!! We still pray five times a day, fast and do zakat, and alot follow the sunnah of the prophet, don’t say what you don’t have a knowledge of.
Thankyou for showing us the importance of knowing your HISTORY because this is our identity. Our countries are full of thriving western culture, books, education and buildings. What happened to islam and its rich history we need to bring it all back. Islamic history education culture books, places and so much more.
Bismillah ir Rahman ir Rahim. of the questions that Jibril (‘alayhis salam) posed to Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) was, ‘Inform me of the signs of Qiyamah’. In response, Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: “…And you will see barefoot naked poor shepherds/Bedouins vying with one another in the construction of buildings…” (Sahih Muslim, Hadith: 1)
SubhanAllah. I'm not a big fan of skycrapers but we also have to think about the growing number of pilgrims each year, which automatically (through it's growth) demands (or screams for) a surplus of offers. It is often better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it.
I mean it would be better to move everything away from the haram by 1 kilometer or so which is a 12 min walk or 3 min drive, in the future 50 years from now or so the haraam will need a huge expansion so they will be left with no choice but knock down the buildings near it and expand the grounds of the haraam
@haskalah That's a very good way of thinking maa sha'a Allah but however we don't need that in this case as this is nothing to do with the shaareeah but aqal of the mind.
It's a matter of having good etiquette with the K'abah. Something that has became very rare in modern times. I have heard a couple of Shaykhs say that in the pre modern times, people used to erect buildings that did not over arche the Haram.
Symbols are more powerful than words. We easily forget what people said, but not how they made us feel. Actions express intentions. Architecture expresses the government. The tower is a clock tower. A mechanical machine of ancient modernity. Man shaping not only space but also time. Worship is Islam is based on natural signs like the sun and moon. Man adapting to nature controlled by Allah. The govenment built clock tower overshadowing the Kaaba, is like symbolizing "The Hour having cast its shadow upon the Kaaba" To govern people is to also to control the people through symbols. Is this intentional malice or ignorance? Just because matters may be legal or halal, does not mean they are necessarily wise.
The clock tower complex curves around the Kabba making it the center It has the shahada and the name of God written all over it, and it tells the whole city the time making it easier to know when prayer is, it isn't overshadowing the Kabba, quite the opposite, it is kneeling for it, it's saying despite all that we can build the Kaaba is still grater.
Salam Brothers, It saddens me to see that your views are driven by emotions rather than reality. Firstly, regarding the holy mosques, it seems you overlook that the number of pilgrims has increased much faster than the available capacity to serve/cater. Moreover, you do not seem to consider the expertise and equipment required to execute such large-scale projects, during the last few decades. Secondly, the lands and properties in question belong to private owners with legal deeds. Sharia law permits these owners to benefit from what is rightfully theirs. In terms of aesthetics and design, it is important to note that the Muslim nations worldwide are maturing, and classical architectural designs are becoming more appreciated. there is no doubt that the people built the surroundings with their best intentions. You claim to be a historian, yet you seem to forget that cities like Baghdad, Cairo, Qairouan, and Rusafa (in Iraq, Syria, and Andalusia) were all built from scratch. Please do not underestimate the prosperity that building new cities can bring, as it expands both wealth and communities. Your example of Dubai is not entirely relevant, as I'm sure even the Emiratis would have a different perspective. Regardless, Saudi Arabia and Egypt are much more established states with significant populations. Egyptians have lived in dense concentrations along the Nile for the last 50 years, despite modern tech, while millions of acres to the west remain underutilized. Neom is a project that we, the Saudis, are deeply invested in and want to see succeed. I urge you to be optimistic about the future of Arab and Muslim nations, as the tides are turning in our favor, Insha'Allah. If you are sincerely concerned, I urge you to come to Saudi Arabia and be part of the positive change. Saudi Arabia is genuinely becoming more influential, and the population remains true to its high morals and values. If you are truly genuine, we welcome the expertise and knowledge of those who want to see the Islamic world grow stronger and who have an interest in their Muslim brothers and sisters. If you are living in the West, what is keeping you from moving and building your vision in Saudi Arabia or Egypt? Please do not look down upon us and criticize without being a part of the community, as you are unaware of the challenges and obstacles we overcome. If you are an architect, please come and open your firm here, and plant the seeds for your vision. Regardless of what you may assume, there are undoubtedly people working tirelessly for the sake of Allah. Which nothing describes better than that of the shopkeeper who closes for the Salat and goes to pray whether in Makkah or else where. People who recognize that Allah is provider and their is Abudunance. Thus, prioratizing His call and halting trade and profits to remind themselves that to Allah they shall return.
If your thinking about the future as you say then how will you expand the grounds of the kaabah in the future as the population will explode astronomically, the diameter of the grounds as of now supports 4 million visitors a year what about when that reaches 12 million?
Wa Aleikum Salam brother. Sadness is an emotion and you began with this in your first sentence. Do not be sad or feel offended, this series is contrarian and designed to challenge popular narratives. The question of practicality was clearly raised and answered in an appropriate manner by suggesting that some form of space or ring be created within a reasonable radius to allow for the pilgrims to enjoy the sight without being confronted by shopping malls etc. This is reasonable and fair commentary, it doesn't take away from the reality that there are indeed millions of pilgrims that need accomodation, but a good transportation system coupled by simpler construction could be a solution. Does the Kaabah need to be surrounded by 5 star hotels and mega commercial centres? We appreciate what Saudi is doing and what they have to manage on behalf of the Muslim world, this is not lost to anyone would be a challenge to any nation. As for the historical instances where Arabs built cities from nothing, that was discussed in the previous episode and covered in sufficient detail. Do not be offended or take this as unfair criticism, it is a healthy and necessary discussion that needs to be raised as the rapid pace at which change is happening concerns the entire Muslim world, not just the kingdom of Saudi Arabia. After all, the Hajj is an obligation on every Muslim and the Kaabah is the centre of attention globally, not just for the Saudis. Barakallahu Feekum and may Allah bless the people in charge and aid them in their hard work.
You are too nationalistic ; " ...an criticize without being part of the community... ". We are all muslims, one ummah, and the harameein are muslim's property not saudi's . The crazy amount of money that is required to make hajj it's ridiculous. They need to change that instead of focusing on "modernizing Saudi Arabia" with those projects. it's sad that people have to wait ages and pay crazy amounts of money just to fulfill an obligation. Be humble, and recognize that. The majority of Muslim jurists hold the view that it is disliked to decorate the mosques with gold or silver, engrave them, write on them, plaster them, or do any other thing that might distract the worshipper from his prayer. Ibn ʻAbbaas may Allaah be pleased with him narrated that the Prophet, sallallaahu ʻalayhi wa sallam, said, “I have not been ordered to build high, lofty, plastered mosques.” [Ibn Hibbaan, Abu Daawood, and Ibn Maajah] These buildings distract the worshippers. Keep it simple and let the muslims just fulfill their obligation.
With all due respect All this towers and shops and restaurants are built for the millions of Muslims who visits this holy city every day and it’s all to make it easy and safe for them and for your question WHY because why not it’s not haram and it helps the Muslims ,Muslims are the fastest growing population and I find it very weird that you guys commenting on it may Allah reward the leaders who did it may Allah protect and preserve them and guide them towards what benefits the ummah
This is the kind of right in my opinion. When Islam has grown with millions visiting Makkah each year, I can agree. However the types of events that take place is these large structures, is what I despise.
100 years ago, before discovering oil, king abdulaziz Al saud sent invitations to the rich Muslim leaders to Mecca and asked them to participate in renovations on the haram, they said no and some of them said to king abdulaziz give Britain the right to rule Mecca and medina !! King abdulaziz refused and sent them away and shortly after oil was discovered, Allah knows where to put his house on earth under
That is true and should never be denied. There were also inhabitants of what is now the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia who were invited to take Saudi nationality and renounce their other passport, some accepted others refused. When oil was discovered and the country became prosperous, many of those who refused regretted their decision - many their descendants are still unable to secure the Saudi passport to this day (some were granted amnesty while others got it through marriage but those are not representative of the majority). The pendulum swings both ways
Indeed the architect has a valid point. I wish he was around when the authorities were planning this project. I'm sure his opinion would have been taken into consideration.
Excellent content and conversation. However, a very significant point is missed. It is in front of the creator we're all one... irrespective of our worldly titles or accumulation of wealth yet these monoliths outside of Ka'aba isolate certain niches, the rich, the powerful, the connected... of course it drains Khushu it also creates boundaries where none exist, or should exist. A prayer inside the haram is a equal to a 100,000 outside yet those to rub shoulders among their own bubbles congregate in ivory towers on the periphery. It shudders my conscience. The two motivators to do an act either are voluntary or coerced. A voluntary clean heart will be a target for a preying looking to burn that feel for graciousness. We haven't thought these out and I'm afraid created a place of conflict.
yes, high rise building around Kaaba draws attention ..at one point it becomes a tourist spot. as a sacred place best to keep it peaceful and focus. o watched this tv series -Foundation, there is an episode where the "SPIRAL" showed and its similar with Mecca and also by getting near there is this a path counter clockwise..but whats in the middle instead of Kaaba its a cave called "mothers womb" and inside that cave there is a water formation. being in the middle of the desert, one aspect of the spiral being a sacred place is the water inside the cave, for thousands of years the water inside the cave never runs dry. as a sacred and to show respect, people avoid building something around this spiral not at least from a greater far. to test your faith, as a pilgrim you shall walk ten's of kilometers to reach the spiral. without water, food and rest even must leave any inorganic device from you only a piece of cloth that will cover your body... same with Umrah. and this will do ounce in a life time.
How come no one calls them out on their evil? Arent they Muslim? What the Muslims cant say anything about other Muslims who are doing evil things? Instead of speakkng to them with kindness speak to them harshly.
Your plane tickets food hotels transportation and guide, the Saudi govt doesn’t charge you sht and if it was up to me as a Saudi I would charge you money for the facilities and infrastructure I payed for as a Saudi govt
There should be no building higher than the Kaba for at least a few km in distance from the Kaba .This is out of respect for it,these were the type of practices during the Ottoman period.
It's easy to make imagination and architectural dreams, but we seem to forget 2 driving forces that Saudi and the Muslim league considers when making expansions. One Islam is growing rapidly and Saudi is suppose to build enough space to welcome a minimum of pilgrims for Haj and Omrah where the visitors are growing beyond expectations. Second, Kabbbah is just a place where we visit for spirituality and direction for our prayers. based on these, Saudi has to allocate billions of dollars periodically not at once. These result in the only solution, tall buildings to accommodate as many as possible in the most recent and safest ways.
I haven't listened to this all yet but the intro is on the mark! Where did the humility go 😢 modern age is resulting in a great deal of wealth being wasted. What happened to being organs of the same body?!
Look at you people thinking you have an opinion or you can talk about how we build our land. I am from Makkah and I want to tell you all of these buildings and towers are built to accomdate Muslims from around the world every single day around the year we are very happy with what we have achieved. So keep your opinion for yourself and build your land, Allah never forbid you from building earth or creating and maintaining your own economy.

@@Historyun you're the delusional and arrogant one thinking since it is Bayt Allah you have the right to say an opinion about we build around it. Keep thinking that way while your country is half occupied by the french frogs.
I completed my Umrah in 2023. As a native of Asia, I can't even afford to stay at those luxury hotels or shop at those expensive shops. Alhamdulillah, I am not sad. RasulAllah was poor and I would rather be poor to come close to Allah instead of being rich & full of vanity. The peace & serenity of being inside haram, to see the Kaaba can't be put in words. As far as those exclusive buildings are concerned, I simply don't care. However, I see many muslim immigrants working at those places, I am happy they are earning halal income for their families. So I won't complain.
it's shamefully of those who allowed the clock Tower to be build! how can a Muslim accelt this? currently in Mekka for hajj and this really hurts my heart and soul! the kaba is beeing belittled by the structures around it, and those structures contains all the brands those support the Zionist... this is really heartbreaking, but I focus on my deeds to perform and Allah knows best
It is so sad! Will you do a video about Medine and the graves they destroyed when they took over with the help of the English? How the grave of all the sahabe were destroyed, how the grave of HZ. OSMAN. R.A.
Hajj and Umrah should always be attainable for everyone. I agree with taste style, but even if they build brutalist buildings around it will always be the house of Allah , and the meaning of his house should never be forgotten whatever its surroundings.

Sadly, greed, money and power is the new prophet for some islamic countries of the middle east. The drive to western materialistic values has shaded the true values for some muslims. Know your roots and remember kindness and fairness and you will find your internal islam.
Worshipping wood and stone, Wood (The cross)[Christianity], Stone (Kaabah)[Islam. It looks like you are worshipping the kaabah, and what is inside that black box it is a stone. Please, no offense here. Please don't get angry with me. Please educate me.
those mega structure around Kaaba in Mecca signify wealth and the architectural design imply our knowledge of how intelligent we were in our time. if we go back in time, the one they called "tomb" in Petra and Al-Ulah was it really a tomb? im thinking maybe its a hotel for pilgrims and their old religion.. like we build today or something like accommodation dedicated to someone whom a tribe leader and religious group and even for rich families. and near was a theater and other structure including "the first Kaaba and the birth of Islam started" , other said. and for common people of course, make your own tent somewhere near. strange the Nabataeans history is.
Muslims have been suffering for 1000+ years…there will always be suffering in this life, it doesn’t mean we should stop developing. We do our best to help the suffering and pray for them, but we also continue developing as a nation.
@@IbrahimIbnkhas you are talking nonsense! He must prove it as he makes a connection between decisions that affect the economy of a nation to make it look negative and an occurrence that has nothing to do with it.
The Kaaba shouldn’t be looked at more than a building that resembles the direction of prayer with a historical importance. Making it overly magnificent could make people over exaggerate.
The "Line". The form and structure in alphabet and art generally means the line iş the sign of the non believers or life far away from the creators advice.
Respectfully this guy Tareq gave a sloppy analysis. The point of that hotel was to host thousands of people as near to the Kaaba as possible. FYI the masjid al haram is bigger than the city of Mecca during the lifetime of the prophet *ﷺ*. If you take it as a competition that’s you wearing a negative lense
@@alytoure6240 again so that worshippers can be as close to the haram as possible. To be walking distance from the haram, and to still be under the land of the haram. Meaning If someone is disabled and take the scorching heat if they pray in their hotels it counts as praying in the haram because they are still in the vicinity. There’s a lot of misinformation with the purpose of causing discord and disunity amongst the Muslims from those outside of Islam and sadly within due to extremist ideologies such as the ikhwanis.
@@CEO786 not really. You cant get around the fact that rasulallah صل اللہ علیہ و سلم stated that najd is a place of fitnah and he was not referring to anywhere in iraq.
If you think a tall building is competing with The Holy Mosque, then you have to examine your faith. How are you going to manage and facilitate the 2 billion people who will visit this blessed place without building something vertical? Remember, in the 1900s, when Ottoman ruled, the muslim world population is estimated to be 200 million. And vast majority of them didn't travel. Coming back to now. Pakistan alone has more muslim than that. Criticism is good but don't criticise unless you have a better way.
He didn't say that he mentioned that it could of been a satellite set up complex where you have the industrial residential area and the religious grounds, from the kaabah the industrial residential area not being seen and the kaabah being seen from the skyscrapers from the industrial residential area.
@HISTORYUN If you have a point, please say it in a manner I can understand. I don't know what is in your mind. I dont hope you are comparing a pegan worshipping site to a one dedicated to Allah SWT.
How many of the yearly visitors stay in these luxury 5 star towers circling the Kaba? You mentioned Pakistan.. do you think the majority of pakistanis can afford to stay in those towers?! So out of the 2billion Muslims, these towers were built for like the 2% who can stay in them 👏 But hey Hilton,Swissotel etc we should be grateful to as they got the Ummahs needs at the forefront before profits 😂
Opening up the Holy Land to a rampant influx of non dawah seeking kufr, is an absolute nightmare. These people never fail to go anywhere without corrupting the environment!

Rubbish content. We do not worship the kaabah. The magnificence of the buildings around the kaabah does not take away the beauty of the kaabah for any believer. Only those who are jealous of what has been achieved in the haram would make this an issue. People go there for ibadah. The haram does not include the masjid alone. It is the whole of Mecca. So there is nothing wrong in beautifying a city that is loved by muslims while facilitating for the ummah. As an outsider i think they have done a great job.
Whats magnificent about those buildings?! Which high awarding international architectural award or design award did they receive.? Whats beautiful about the clock tower?! Is it because it shows the time 😂 Oh we have a kfc and western brands around the haraim 👏 We should be grateful to the sauds 😢
Selefi principles forbade all other honorifications but kabe many graves of relatives of prophet demolished to stop ppl sanctifying them and guiding visitirs to only toward god
The way salafi wahabi regime destroyed the graves of holy family... It was satanic and henious. Nothing csn stop muslims to worship Allah alone.. Those graves were symbol of honour ...they were not normal common people.
