Rebuilding the Kaaba After the Flood

The Kaaba, raised by Abraham and Ishmael, peace be upon them, had long been a house that drew hearts toward it by the blessing of their supplication. But years had passed, and time had left its marks on its walls. One day, a powerful flood swept through Mecca, weakening the structure and collapsing parts of it. Quraysh realized that the House of Allah could not remain in such a damaged state. Those were the days when the young Muhammad, peace be upon him, also carried stones and worked with honor in its reconstruction. As you read this story, imagine the dignity of serving the Sacred House of Allah.
