Hajar al-Aswad Black Stone (2022) Painting by Suleman Rehman

Hajar al-Aswad (Black Stone) is arguably the holiest stone that exists in the universe. It was placed on the Holy Ka’bah by Prophet Abraham (AS).According to the most authentic narration, it is believed that Hajr e Aswad was brought to Prophet Ibrahim (AS) during the construction of the Holy Kaaba. It is stated that when the construction of the Holy Ka’bah was almost complete, Prophet Ibrahim (AS) noticed an empty space or gap in one of the walls of the House of Allah. Thus, Prophet Ibrahim (AS) asked his son Prophet Ismail (AS) to search for a rock that would fit in the empty space in the wall of the Holy Ka’bah.

Therefore, Prophet Ismail (AS) searched for a stone that would perfectly fit the empty space in the wall of Holy Kaaba. But even after searching the outskirts of Makkah, he was unable to find the perfect stone. On his return to the Holy Ka’bah, he was surprised to see that a magnificent stone was already fitted in the wall’s breech. Upon asking his father, it was revealed that the heavenly stone was sent to Prophet Ibrahim (AS) by the magnificent Angel Jibreel (AS).
In reference to the true colour, sacredness, and heavenly origin of Hajr e Aswad Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) stated:
“When the Black Stone came down from Paradise, it was whiter than milk, but the sins of the sons of Adam made it black.” (Tirmidhi)
