Tears shed at the Sacred House

When you enter the Sacred House of Allah and you circumambulate it tears fill your eyes, why?

Many people do not know the reason, but crying before such a scene is an expression of waiving the pride that accompanied you for long. The more tears you shed, the more pride you rid yourself of. If crying is a sign of weakness and grief, in the Hajj it is not so. It is a sense of submission and servility, a sense that you gave up all and realized your true humble rank. You come to this sacred place hoping to express your regret for your misdeeds and supplicate Allah, all praise and glory be to Him, that He may forgive your past and future sins.

Being so close to The Almighty and experiencing a sense of His Presence every second is what imparts to the shed tears a spirituality that surpasses joy. The joy of being purged from sins; the joy of winning the Good Pleasure of Allah deeply felt and realized; the joy of confessing sins, which means having the strength of will never to relapse again by holding fast to repentance.

It is the power of faith that prompts man to abandon all wrongdoing and perversity that may taint his creed and behavior. Renouncing pride is a show of strength, and begging for mercy and forgiveness is also a show of strength.

Everyone who experienced such overwhelming feelings knows well that his soul is relieved after crying. As though the tears that flowed from his eyes cleansed his heart. Everyone cries as bitterly as he transgressed against himself (by committing evil deeds and sins) and as bitterly as he disobeyed.

What arouses wonder is that after your soul obtained relief you yearn again to return to what draws your tears. You come back to the Hajj for a second and a third time, but never would you cry as you did the first time. In the first time, you shed bitter violent tears, but less in the second, and lesser in the third, why?

Because in every time you grow more serene and more upright in the adopted course of your life; the moment you enter the Sacred Masjid and see the Ka‘bah you become preoccupied with yourself alone, forgetting about anything else. Preoccupied with how you will offer Prayers, perform Tawâf and Sa‘y [The devotional act of walking seven times between the knolls of As–Safâ and Al-Marwah which are located some distance from the Ka‘bah inside Al-Masjidul- Haram; starting at As–Safâ and ending at Al-Marwa]. What will you beg for and what invocations will you utter.

You are totally taken by Allah from whatever surrounds you and as long as you are preoccupied with The Creator, Whose Majesty reigns supreme, there will be no room in your heart for anything else besides Him. Even your children will not cross your mind except at the end of the rituals, which arouses people’s wonder, though there is nothing to wonder about.

Glorification of the Ka‘bah

Some people say that Islam has forbidden intermingling between men and women, so why is not it forbidden in Tawâf? We see men and women performing Tawâf where hardly anyone passes without exerting a tremendous effort, due to the overcrowding. To those people we say that every circumambulator (performer of Tawâf) is preoccupied with what he/she is deeply in.

There, desires retreat and evil insinuations (whispered by the devil) vanish; each is no longer aware of those around him, each is preoccupied with Allah, preoccupied with worshipping Him, preoccupied with himself.

When offering prayers in the Sacred House of Allah, you find that all the directions faced in Salah have mixed, how? When offering Prayers in the Masjids located in our countries some of us may turn eastward, others westward, northward or southward governed by our position from the Ka‘bah. But on arriving at the Sacred House of Allah we no longer abide by these directions.

Is it permissible for me, inside a Masjid in Egypt, to offer Prayers while facing the Yamani Corner [The southern corner of the Ka‘bah]? Do I observe that when I go to the Ka‘bah, to look for the Yamani Corner and offer prayers facing it? No, I can offer Prayers while facing any of the corners of the Ka‘bah and bear in my mind the Qur’anic verse saying (what means):

“And to Allâh belong the east and the west, so wherever you turn yourselves or your faces there is the Face of Allâh (and He is High above, over His Throne).” (Al-Baqarah, 2: 115)

That is the magnificence of worship.

While in the Sacred House of Allah, you have the entire Ka‘bah before you, and you must glorify every place in it and every part of it, which will not be done except by circumambulating it.

An opinion says that it is enough to perform Tawâf once to fulfill that purpose, but the Ka‘bah is parable to Al-Baitul-Ma‘mûr (The Oft-frequented House) [The house in the seventh firmament directly above the Ka‘bah at Mecca; everyday it is visited by seventy thousands angels, who never revisit it until the Day of Judgment]. If you keep ascending the sky of the Ka‘bah you will end at Al-Baitul-Ma‘mûr.

Those offering prayers at the third floor in the Meccan Sanctuary are higher than the altitude of the Ka‘bah itself but they face its atmosphere. The air expanse above the Ka‘bah represents the Ka‘bah up to Al-Baitul-Ma‘mûr in the seventh heaven.

If you are boarding a plane heading for the Ka‘bah you will offer Prayer in it while having your face turned to the sky of the Ka‘bah. The heavens are seven, and to those who believe that by circumambulating the Ka‘bah once you glorify all its parts we say: Follow the example of Al-Mi‘râj (Ascension) [The miraculous ascension of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, from Jerusalem up to the Heavens to meet his Lord]. If you complete seven ashwaat [One complete circuit around the Ka‘bah constitutes a shawt (pl. ashwaat), and seven ashwaat complete one Tawâf] around the Ka‘bah, as though you have ascended the seven heavens provided that serenity and light fill your heart.

That is the Grace of Allah, He bestows on whom He wills. Indeed, endless is the Grace of Allah, The Bestower, Whose Blessings cover all creatures.
