Is the Hajr e aswad the VISIBLE IMAGE of the INVISIBLE Allah? HIDDEN in the plain sight of Muslims, a comparison between the temple of Solomon and the Kaaba reveals the stunning truth of the IDOLATRY of the HAJR E ASWAD (BLACK STONE), beyond the claim that it is of no harm or benefit. Umar (al-Tirmidhi, 877) initially thought that it was of no harm or benefit UNTIL he saw Muhammad point to it and do the takbir “Allahu Akbar”.
SOMETHING must DWELL in a HOUSE. A house is built to house something—the occupant.
CONSIDER THIS: After King David had suggested to build a House for God:
“that night the word of God came to Nathan, saying: “Go and tell my servant David, ‘This is what the Lord says: You are not the one to build me a house TO DWELL IN.” (1 Chronicles 17:3-4).
God later informs King David that he has chosen Solomon to be the one to build the House for God to dwell in (1 Chronicles 28:10) because David was a warrior and had shed blood.
God dwelling in the temple did not mean he stopped to exist in heaven. David calls the House of God “a footstool for our God” (1 Chronicles 28:2).
The House of God housed the Ark of the Covenant which had the MERCY SEAT flanked by two Cherubim on either side. The Ark of the Covenant was HOLY because it was where the presence of God was and the Ark of the Covenant dwelt in the HOLY OF HOLIES both in the Tabernacle of Moses and later in the Temple of Solomon. God had spoken with Moses from between the two covering cherubim on the Ark’s cover:
“There, above the cover (MERCY SEAT) between the two cherubim that are over the ark of the covenant law, I will meet with you and give you all my commands for the Israelites.” (Exodus 25:22)
Only the levite priest could carry the Ark of the Covenant using two wooden poles inserted through rings on its sides, as one would be struck to death at the hands of God for touching the Ark itself, as is what happened to Uzzah (1 Chronicles 13:9-12).
The glory [Shekinah] of God DESCENDED on the temple of Solomon (2 Chronicles 7:1) but about 300 years later, when the Israelites did not repent of their wickedness during Ezekiel’s time, the glory of God DEPARTED the temple:
“Then the [Shekinah] glory of the Lord departed from over the threshold of the temple and stopped above the cherubim.” (Ezekiel 10:18).
Why then is the KAABA called BAIT-ALLAH/HOUSE OF ALLAH? What does it house? Who or What DWELLS IN IT? Who is the occupant? Does Allah dwell in it?
Allah can not dwell in the Kaaba because Allah cannot enter earth [unlike the God of Israel whom Allah ironically claims to be (QS 29:46)], so it is the Black Stone which, like the Shekinah, DESCENDED from heaven (with Jibreel) to the Kaaba and is the VISIBLE IMAGE of the invisible Allah. It DWELLS in the Kaaba as the PRECIOUS CORNERSTONE (HEART) of the Kaaba. The Black Stone is the Ark of the Covenant of the Kaaba, so to speak. Just as the Levi priest was to enter the Holy of Holies once a year on Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, to burn incense and sprinkle sacrificial animal blood on the MERCY SEAT 7 times with his finger (Leviticus 16:14) to EXPIATE his own sins and those of the people of Israel, so too during Hajj, Muslims circumbulate the Kaaba 7 times and touch the Black Stone for the expiation of their sins. What an imitation!
The average Muslim may not be aware, but really, the high point of the Hajj is the sacred Black stone. It is at the sacred stone where Tawaf—the rite of Hajj and Umrah pilgrimage—STARTS and ENDS! The Black Stone is where the Muslim makes bay’ah/oath of allegiance to his god. Beloved Muslims may believe they are praying in the direction of the Kaaba but the Salat (the 5 daily prayers), in truth, are made in the direction of the one who DWELLS in the Kaaba, the VISIBLE IMAGE of the invisible god on earth—the Black stone.
Muslims don’t make bay’ah or have their sins “expiated”/forgiven [al-Tirmidhi, 959] at the kaaba by kissing or touching the Kaaba. No. Rather, after the example of Muhammad, Muslims IDOLIZE the stone, not the Kaaba, by kissing or touching the stone and reciting the takbir, “Allaahu akbar!” to conclude the bay’ah to Allah and have their sins forgiven. The Black stone is HOLY because it is associated with the divine process of the forgiveness of sins. It was once white but became black because of the sins of the sons of Adam (al-Tirmidhi 877) and will, as it is claimed, be given eyes and a mouth speak and testify on the Day of judgement [al-Tirmidhi, 877]
Muhammad called the Black stone yamin-Allah (THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD):
“The Prophet has named the (Black Stone) the ‘right hand of God’ (yamin-Allah), and for purpose. In fact one poses there one’s hand to conclude the pact, and God obtains there our pact of allegiance and submission. In the qur’anic terminology, God is the king, and…in (his) realm there is a metropolis (Umm al-Qurra) and in the metropolis naturally a palace (Bait-Allah, home of God). If a subject wants to testify to his loyalty, he has to go to the royal palace and conclude personally the pact of allegiance (bay’ah). The right hand of the invisible God must be VISIBLE symbolically. And that is the al-Hajar al-Aswad, the Black Stone in the Ka’bah..” [Dr Muhammad Hamidullah [scholar of hadiths (muhaddith), Qur’anic Tafsir and Islamic law (faqih) and a prolific academic author.]
Jesus Christ is the VISIBLE IMAGE of the invisible God (Colossians 1:15) and sits on the RIGHT HAND OF GOD (1 Peter 3:22). He is the “PRECIOUS CORNERSTONE” (Isaiah 28:16, I Peter 2:7) who DWELLS in the spiritual House of God—the spiritual CHURCH (Ephesians 2:19-21).
The design of the Tabernacle/temple on earth (not that of the Kaaba) is a pattern of things in heaven.
It is his blood shed on the cross that is the blood of the lamb sprinkled by the priest on the MERCY SEAT for the expiation/forgiveness of the sins of mankind. “They (priests of the temple) serve at a sanctuary/temple that is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle: “See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.” (Hebrews 8:5).
“It was necessary, then, for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made with human hands that was only a copy of the true one; he entered heaven itself, now to appear for us in God’s presence. Nor did he enter heaven to offer himself again and again, the way the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood that is not his own.” (Hebrews 9:23-25).
“Day after day every priest stands and performs his religious duties; again and again he offers the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. But when this priest [Jesus] had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the RIGHT HAND OF GOD” (Hebrews 10:11-12).
This ritual associated with the Black stone (practiced by billions of Muslims) is the biggest spectacle of IDOLATRY and ABOMINATION the world has ever witnessed. In the Torah, the true God of Israel (who is not Allah of the Kaaba) commands NOT to idolize a stone IMAGE (Leviticus 26:1) in the land yet Hajj and Salat are two of the 5 pillars to Jannah of 72 virgins—a false illusion created by Allah designed to deceive Muslims away from the true heaven of the true God of Israel, the heaven of Joy, Peace and Righteousness. Beloved Muslim, you will surely perish in hell.
Do you believe that Allah of the idolatrous Kaaba and the God of Israel are the same God as he claims in Surah 29:46? If you do, then you have been deceived. If you don’t believe it, then Allah is a lier.
Allah of the Kaaba is the GREATEST THEFT OF THE IDENTITY of the God of Israel AND his prophets in the history of mankind!
There is no historical record of Allah’s existence before 610 except as Hubal (He who is Baal) worshipped by Muhammad’s father, Abdullah, as Allah of the Kaaba but remarkably in the 7th century, when Muhammad had destroyed all the idols of the Kaaba, Hubal (He who is Baal) was reinvented as the God of Israel (thanks to a mysterious angel which never at any point introduced itself to Muhammad as the Angel Gabriel of the Bible. Muhammad’s prophethood itself was confirmed by Waraqah Ibin Nawfal, an Ebonite and heretic of Christianity. Muhammad sanitized, normalized and moralized Hubal’s pagan Kaaba through name-dropping when QS 2:127 and QS 22:26-27 claimed the names of Abraham and Ishmael as having built the Kaaba. It is a big, big lie!
From the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms there is no evidence whatsoever of these names ever participating in building the Kaaba of Allah. .
Hubal has really never left the Kaaba. Hubal’s idolatrous ritual of kissing the Black stone (as practiced by the pre-Islamic pagans before Muhammad) still carries on today—still under the SAME god Hubal, but by another name, Allah. It is the biggest deception and IDOLATRY hiding in the plain sight of beloved Muslims. Blessings!
