Hajj 2009 Pics

Wouldn't the novelty wear off though for people who went and prayed at the mosque every day? Especially if you've been brought up and looked at the Kaaba every day of your life. It must be just normal.

Ah, but you do not know what the Ka'ba means to the Muslim, so you cannot possibly understand.

Rubbish. If I can understand chemical thermodynamics, I can understand anything. I understand how revered the Kaaba is in Islam, but for any human being, going to the same place time and time again, however holy it is, is going to reduce the experience for that person.

Maybe a little.

By the way, anyone can understand chemical thermodynamics.

Chemical thermodynamics apart from having a fancy name isn't all that complex, so don't flatter yourself. No, clearly from your post you don't know how revered the Ka'aba is in Islam. You can only see it from an outsiders/academic viewpoint, even if that, I highly doubt you know the Islamic background behind it at the least. So, in future... don't post if you don't know what you're on about!

There's nothing complex here. There's nothing to be offended by. There's nothing to understand. The Kaaba is a house that tradition attributes to Abraham as the first house built to God. Heck, I don't know how this conversation even escalated. I mentioned how the novelty wears off, and people would start to take it for granted after a while as with anything and as is human nature, move on. I didn't say that the holiness of the place would go, I said people will just start to take it for granted.

Indeed. Now all I need to do is decide whether or not I want to take it to university level. That's when they start making something like particle theory sound like the hardest idea ever conceived. I digress!

Then please don't use words like "rubbish" in relation to places that are considered holy land for us.

Ah, a misunderstanding has occurred. I meant, in the context of my post:

By rubbish, I meant rubbish at the idea I could not understand. I did not mean rubbish in any other way, I assure you!

I appreciate your clarification :), but true understanding of the importance requires a belief within the heart, which means the disbeliever can never understand.
 
Subhanallah, those pictures were beautiful....

I may not understand from a Muslim point of view, but from a Christian point of view I can sort of understand. I mean, if I worshipped daily in the holy Christian churches of Palestine/Israel, I suppose the novelty wouldn't wear off quickly, as there would definetly be something special and just outright holy about the places. However, in Christianity we just don't revere out churches as much as you revere the Kaaba, so in that sense, I suppose I don't understand.
 
Supreme,

We pray Salaah 5 times a day, yet I can assure you the novelty has never worn off and never will..

Being there in Makkah, is so sacred that it cannot wear off.


Malaysian brother, Jazak'Allah for sharing this with us.. and may Allah give us all the health and wealth to do Umrah/Hajj... AMEEN
