\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0KA\u2019BAH\u2013HOUSE OF GOD\u2019S GLORY<\/span>
\n\u201cCertainly the first house appointed for men is the one at Bakkah,<\/strong> blessed and a guidance for the nations. In it are clear signs: (It is) the Place of Abraham; and who-ever enters it is safe; and pilgrimage to the House is a duty which men owe to All\u0101h<\/strong> \u2014 whoever can find a way to it. And whoever disbelieves, surely All\u0101h is above need of the worlds\u201d\u2013(Qur\u2019an 3:96-97).<\/p>\n

\u201c<\/strong>And when We pointed to Abraham the place of the House, saying: Associate naught with Me, and purify My House for those who make circuits and stand to pray and bow and prostrate themselves. \u00a0<\/strong>And proclaim to men the Pilgrimage they will come to thee on foot and on every lean camel, coming from every remote path:\u00a0 That they may witness benefits (provided) for them, and mention the name of All\u00e5h on appointed days over what He has given them of the cattle quadrupeds; then eat of them and feed the distressed one, the needy. Then let them accomplish their needful acts of cleansing, and let them fulfill their vows and go round the Ancient House<\/strong>\u201d\u2013(Qur\u2019an 22:26-29).<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>The Prophet David says:
\n\u201cO Lord of hosts, my King, and my God. Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah. Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee\u2026. Who passing through the valley of Baca<\/u><\/em> make it a well\u2026. every one of them in Zion appeareth before God\u201d\u2013(Psalms 84:3-7).<\/p>\n

This \u201chouse of God to which David refers was no other but the one at Bakka, for the holy temple in Jerusalem had not been built at that time and God lived in Zion (a tent).\u201d David came to Bacca \u201cto seek blessing from the house of God\u201d that was built by Abraham. \u201c\u2018Appearing before God in Zion\u2019, refers to the annual pilgrimage at Mecca,\u201d explains Abdul Haque Vidyarthi\u2013(Muhammad in World Scriptures<\/em>, pp. 224, 225).\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/sup><\/p>\n

And the Book of Isaiah says: \u201cAll the flocks of Kedar\u201d \u201cshall come up with acceptance on mine altar, and I will glorify the house of my glory\u201d\u2013<\/strong>(Isaiah 60:7). Muhammad Ali says, \u201cChristianity, in its present form, being opposed to the true teachings of Christ, is thus the only Antichrist known to the Qur\u2019an.\u201d\u2013(Qur\u2019anic comm. # 1478).<\/p>\n

The Church \u201cbeing opposed to the true teachings of Christ,\u201d could not be the house of Christ. Much more, the house of God\u2019s \u201cglory.\u201d Prof. Dawud (the former Rev. David Benjamin Keldani) says in his revealing book Muhammad in the Bible<\/em>:\u00a0\u201cThe flocks of Kedar…have never come to the Church of Christ; and it is a fact that the villages of Kedar and their inhabitants are the only people in the whole world who have remained impenetrable to any influence of the Church of Christ.\u201d (p. 6).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Church could not be the \u201chouse\u201d of God\u2019s glory\u201d when the \u201cflocks of Kedar\u201d \u201chave never come to the Church of Christ,\u201d and when the fulfillment of the prophecy necessitates the coming of the \u201cflocks of Kedar\u201d to this \u201chouse.\u201d Neither could a mortal-appointed shrine be the house of God\u2019s \u201cglory.\u201d<\/p>\n

The house of God\u2019s \u201cglory\u201d has to be a Divine designated sanctuary. Such is the house at Makkah\u2013the Ka\u2019bah. That the Ka\u2019bah in Makkah is the \u201chouse of my glory\u201d is borne out by the Qur\u2019an and history: \u201cCertainly the first house appointed for men is the one at Bakkah, blessed and a guidance for the nations\u201d\u2013(Qur\u2019an 3:95).<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBakkah is the same as Makkah\u2026. The Jews and the Christians are told that the Temple at Jerusalem was erected long after Abraham, while the Holy House at Makkah was there even before Abraham, and was, in fact, the first House on earth for the worship of the Divine Being.\u201d (M. Ali Qur\u2019anic comm. # 467)<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd when We made the House a resort for men and a (place of) security. And: Take ye the place of Abraham for a place of prayer. And We enjoined Abraham and Ishmael, saying: Purify My House for those who visit (it) and those who abide (in it) for devotion and those who bow down (and) those who prostrate themselves\u201d\u2013(Qur\u2019an 2:125).<\/p>\n

\u201cHistory bears out these three distinguishing characteristics of the Ka\u2019bah. It exists from the remotest antiquity; it was visited annually by people from the most distant corners of Arabia; and its sacredness was respected by the whole of Arabia. Thus writes Muir: \u201cA very high antiquity must be assigned to the main features of the religion of\u00a0 Mecca.\u2026Diodorus Siculus, writing about half a century before our era, says of Arabia washed by the Red Sea: \u2018There is in this country a temple greatly revered by the Arabs\u2019.\u00a0 These words must refer to the Holy House of Mecca, for we know of no other which ever commanded such universal homage\u2026Tradition represents the Ka\u2019bah as from time immemorial the scene of pilgrimage from all quarters of Arabia: from Yemen and Hadramaut, from the shores of the Persian Gulf, the deserts of Syria, and the distant environs of Hira and Mesopotamia, men yearly flocked to Mecca.\u00a0 So extensive a homage must have had its beginnings in an extremely remote age\u201d (Life of Mahomet).\u201d (M. Ali, comm. #168a)<\/p>\n

The Ka\u2019bah is \u201cthe place of Abraham\u2026.and pilgrimage to the House is a duty which men owe to Allah\u2013whoever can find a way to it\u201d\u2013(Qur\u2019an 3:96).<\/span> The Qur\u2019an is the only revealed Scripture to define a \u201cfirst house\u201d of worship and place of pilgrimage. Some five thousand years ago the prophet Abraham was instructed by All\u0101h God to purify <\/em>this \u201chouse of my glory\u201d \u2013the Ka\u2019bah\u2013<\/span> for the devotees of Allah\u2013(Qur\u2019an 2:125).<\/p>\n

Some three thousand years after Abraham, All\u0101h God instructed the Prophet Mohammad to \u201cproclaim to men the Pilgrimage: they will come to thee on foot and on every lean camel, coming from every remote path\u201d\u2013(Qur\u2019an 22:27). Some 1400 years after this revelation to the Prophet Mohammad, the fulfillment of this mighty prophecy of the Qur\u2019an is evident as males and females from all over the world journey by air, land, and sea to the Ka\u2019bah in Makkah.<\/p>\n

God says (in Deut. 33:2) that He \u201cshined forth from mount Paran\u201d with 10,000 saints. And as Prof. Abdul Ahad Dawud \u2013the former Reverend David Benjamin Keldani\u2013 points out that in \u201cthe whole history of the wilderness of Paran\u201d\u00a0\u201cyou will find no other event but when Mecca was con-quered by the Prophet.\u00a0 He comes with 10,000 followers from Medina and re-enters \u201cthe house of my glory.\u201d\u201d1<\/sup><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Religion from God is Islam<\/em>. The comprehensive law of God is the Qur\u2019an<\/em>. The Universal Prophet of God is Mohammad<\/em>. The world language from God is Arabic<\/em>. The House of Gods\u2019 \u201cglory\u201d is the Ka\u2019bah<\/em> at Makkah. This gathering to the \u201chouse of my glory\u201d at Makkah is, in the history of religion, the only Divinely ordained pilgrimage.
