And the Muslims were the first who drew

00:00:02 --> 00:00:03

the world map.

00:00:03 --> 00:00:05

Al-Idrussi in 1154 he drew the world

00:00:05 --> 00:00:08

map and the north pole was down and

00:00:08 --> 00:00:10

the south pole was on top and the

00:00:10 --> 00:00:11

Kaaba was in the center.

00:00:11 --> 00:00:13

Later on the western cartographers came and they

00:00:13 --> 00:00:16

turned the map upside down.

00:00:16 --> 00:00:18

North pole top, south pole down.

00:00:18 --> 00:00:19

Yet the Kaaba, Alhamdulillah, it is in the

00:00:19 --> 00:00:20

center.

00:00:21 --> 00:00:23

And as I said earlier, Kaaba, it is

00:00:23 --> 00:00:25

only our Qibla that's the direction.

00:00:26 --> 00:00:28

And the statement of Umar that is mentioned

00:00:28 --> 00:00:29

in Sahih Bukhari.

00:00:29 --> 00:00:33

Hadith number 1597 in the book of Hajj.

00:00:33 --> 00:00:36

Umar r.a, he said, while pointing and

00:00:36 --> 00:00:37

looking at the black stone and he said,

00:00:38 --> 00:00:42

اِنِّي أَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ حَجَرٌ لَا تَنْفَعُ وَلَا تَضُرُ

00:00:42 --> 00:00:44

لَوْ لَأَنِّي رَأَيْتُ الرَّسُولُ صَلَى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَامُ

00:00:44 --> 00:00:48

يُقَبِّلُكُ مَا قَبَّلْتُ Umar r.a, he rightly

00:00:48 --> 00:00:50

says, while pointing at the black stone, that

00:00:50 --> 00:00:52

I know that you are a black stone

00:00:52 --> 00:00:55

and can neither benefit me nor harm me.

00:00:55 --> 00:00:57

Had I not seen the Prophet, peace be

00:00:57 --> 00:00:58

upon him, kiss you or touch you, I

00:00:58 --> 00:00:59

would have not done so.

00:01:01 --> 00:01:03

From this we understand, it is sufficient to

00:01:03 --> 00:01:05

prove that we Muslims, we do not worship

00:01:05 --> 00:01:06

the Kaaba.
