The Origin of the Black Stone
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the origin of the Black Stone? Is it from Paradise? Was its color white? And was its size larger than its current size?
Answer:
The Black Stone is among the symbols of Allah. Allah has prescribed for us to kiss it, to touch it, to begin the tawaf from it, and to end the tawaf with it. As for the question about its origin, there is no need for it. It is not our concern to ask about the origin of the Black Stone, where it came from, or how it was, because we gain no benefit from this. We are required to believe that it is one of the symbols of Allah, that it is touched and kissed, or pointed to, and that the lap begins from it and ends with it.
