You welcome

Salaam.

We have a piece. Got it as a gift from a well known family friend of the Haramain in Madinah.

Oh and my mother doesn't have to know about this, but if anyone wants it, bidding starts £500.

after taking it down they its available at the kiswah factory in Makkah. i think its free and youd have to go alost straight after because everyone wants..

There is a long video about this on YouTube. I don't have the link, but I suppose if you search Kaba Kiswah, you should find it. It's really fascinating.

Wow. Thats the first time i've seen this. Mashallah the pics are really good.

Masha'Allah thats awesome. Must take forever...but then again, its worth it

JazakAllah Khair

i didn't know the black cloth was made from silver. Surely not pure silver?
