THE DAY OF PEACE

WHEN THE PROPHET WAS THIRTY –FIVE YEARS OLD THE PEOPLE OF MECCA WANTED TO REBUILD THE KA’BAH,BECAUSE IT HAD BEEN DAMAGED BY THE FLOOD WHICH COVERED THE VALLEY OF MECCA AT THAT TIME.THE TRIBES OF MECCA COOPERATED WITH EACH OTHER TO REBUILD THE KA’BAH, BECAUSE IT WAS AN HONOUR FOR THEM AND ALL THE ARAB TRIBS.ALL THE ARAB TRIBS RESPECTED THOSE OF MECCA AND REGARDED THEM AS PEOPLE WHO LOOKED AFTER HOUSE OF GOD.

WHEN THEY STARTED BUILDING THEY CAME TO THE PLACE  WHERE THEY HAD TO REPLACE AL-HAJAR AL-ASWAD, THE BLACK STONE. FROM THIS MOMENT THE ARGUMENT STARTED.WHO WOULD HAVE THE HONOUR OF PUTTING THE STONE IN ITS PLACE? EACH TRIBE WANTED TO HAVE THIS HONOUR . THEY STARTED ARGUING AND THIS ALMOST LED TO A FIGHT.SOME OF THEM CALLED FOR A FIGHT, AND A BLOOD BATH THREATENED MECCA.
