Honorable Makkah is the best place on earth and the most beloved place to Allah and His Messenger.
★ Allah chose it for the rituals of Hajj and made visiting it an act of worship by which ranks are raised and bad deeds are erased. The Prophet (blessings and peace be upon him) said: "By Allah, you are the best part of Allah’s earth and the part dearest to Him".
★ It is the place where the first House on earth for the worship of Allah alone was established. Allah the Exalted said: The first House (of Prayer) established for mankind is the one at Bakkah (Makkah): a blessed place, guidance for all worlds (of people and jinn).
★ Makkah attained that privilege and position in the first moments of creating the universe. The Prophet (blessings and peace be upon him) said: "Allah made this town sacred on the day He created the heavens and the earth, so it is sacred by the sanctity conferred on it by Allah till the day of resurrection".
