The Sight of Kabah
One never tires of gazing at the sight of the House of Allah, the Kaa'ba. The site upon which the mercy and blessings of Allah are constantly descending. People wish time would stand still so they could keep gazing at the Kaa'ba; their thirst is never quenched, rather it increases.
Once, while on a visit to Washington, people told me that a woman had accepted Islam and had some questions for me. They told me that many non-practicing Muslim women had started practicing again due to her. At prayer time she would dress in her best clothes as if readying herself for someone special, and would become oblivious to everything around her as soon she started praying.
After a brief question and answer session, I asked her what prompted her to accept Islam. Everyday I used to see Muslim men and women dressed in white on their way somewhere. Upon seeing the Kaa'ba our eyes froze and time seemed to stand still. The blessings of Tawhid descend in Makkah, and the blessings of Prophethood descend in Madinah. May Allah give all Muslims the opportunity to visit to His House.
