Preface
Makkah
al-Mukarramah is the first (House) for worship on earth, the dearest land to
our beloved Prophet (P.B.U.H). This land is where revelation was given, and
where the great message of Islam was firstly preached. Makkah is the country to
every Muslim whatever his country of origin is and whatever language he speaks.
Is there any country in the world like Makkah?
Makkah is the above
and more! It is the place where Monotheism started after peoples of the world
had fallen into all kinds of paganism. The…
and Warner began his mission on this land to open the locked hearts and
idle brains.
His mission was to preach the word of
Allah may every step of man on earth be guided by the Divine light, that
Allah may be worshiped according to his words, that people find the just rules and
the society, economy and politics be all guided according to Allah’s Sharia.
Because Islam was all the above, our beloved Prophet (P.b.u.h.) faced
hardship, arrogance and insistence on the old beliefs. Today were are faced
with some of this when some so called Muslims claim that Islam should be
restricted to worship only. Islam was never like this and will never be.
Based upon the above Makkah the great and the memories of the Prophet
(p. b. u. h.) calls upon us to remember those days and places. This small
booklet is intended for this purpose. My efforts in it do not exceed the
summarization and the quotations from the different sources. If I succeeded
Allah is to be praised, otherwise I have tried my best to introduce these two
cities.
