What's Inside the Black Box in Mecca?

Every year, hordes of Muslims travel from all over the globe to Makkah, the holy city of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This wonderful pilgrimage is known as the Hajj or Umrah. In the holy city of Mecca, both forms of devotion are carried out. For the Hajj and Umrah, however, there are several distinct rites. It is expected that every Muslim will do this trip at least once throughout their lives. If they meet the criteria or are Hajj and Umrah qualified, they must conduct this required worship.

All visitors of Allah must perform the Ibadah procedures and wear the identical white, unstitched garment known as Ihram. They do their seven circuits of the Holy Ka'ba, also known as the Black Building or House of Allah the Almighty, after donning Ihram clothing.


The Structure of Black Box

In the Masjid e Haram, Ibdah's holiest site, the Holy Ka'ba is housed in a majestic black stone building. A few of the Kaaba's components are connected to significant Islamic traditions. The easternmost point of this Black Box, which is situated to the left of a door, is where the Black Stone, also known as Hajar e Aswad, is located. Muslims believe that during the period of Hazrat Adam (A.S.) and Hazrat Hawa (Eve), this stone is coming down from Jannah. Every every Muslim who travels the 1,000 km to fulfill the Umrah ritual seeks to kiss this celestial stone. However, the Hajj rituals and essential ceremonies begin outside of Holy Haram.

What is Inside the Holy Kaaba?

The Holy Kaaba is closed off to the general public. However, senior officials or members of the royal families of other Muslim nations pay internal visits to the Kaaba. Twice a year, the Kaaba's door is opened to allow for cleaning. But the Ka'ba, or House of Allah, is completely empty within.

The floor of the Holy Ka'ba is made of marble and granite, and it is supported by three pillars. The Black Box's inside is embellished with priceless presents from monarchs from the middle ages and Ottoman periods. The lamps and other hanging decorations within the Ka'ba are made of gold and diamonds. Holy Quran passages are etched on a few gold plates that are within the Ka'ba.

Therefore, you must go to the Black Box this year and fulfill your spiritual Ibadah by taking advantage of the Cheap Umrah Packages.
