2 . It is originally the inner side of Kabat-ullah but in the times of Prophet Syedna Muhammad (S. A. W.), it could not be built completely due to non availability of funds. It means holy kaba was initially in rectangle shape not as squared as we see today.
3. Hateem is actually the inner part of kaba and because of this fact the tawaf is done out side hateem. It means tawaf is done in rectangular shape covering holy kaba as well as hateem. Secondly no compulsory salat (5 times mandatory prayers) is permitted to offer in hateem. Hateem is closed when the imam leads 5 time compulsory prayer. However pilgrims may offer their nafils (optional prayers) in this area. pilgrims try to offer two rakat nafil here quickly as it is very little place and many many muslim brothers and sisters wait for their turn. Ladies may also offer their nafil salat here behind men at any time.
4 .This place has been kept open so that a worshiper could get the opportunity to pray (NAFIL) here. It is just an equal honour for a faithful as he prays inside the Kabat-ullah.
5 . According to a school of thoughts, it is the place where the Prophet Muhammad (S. A. W.) was taking rest in meraj night when Jibrael (Allaihi Salaam) came and kissed his feet. Muhammad (S. A. W.) woke up and then the Jibrael Allisisalam told him that he had come to take him for MERAJ in skies.
6 . It is said that Syedna ISMAIL (Allaihi Salaam) and his Mother Syeda HAJIRA (Allaihi Salaam) are lying to rest under "Hateem" but their physical graves are not visible . people must not be curious to explore the graves of these two noble personalities as it is the place of Almighty Allah and they must try to keep their full attention towards his Lord.
7 . Hateem is also called Hajar. ___________________________________________ HATEEM BEING REPAIRED IN YEAR 1999 (PIC COURTESY BY MAKKAHWAI)

HAJRA -E- ASVAD ( BLACK STONE) It is a black stone of Heaven.
It is fixed in one of the corners of a wall of Kabat-ullah.
seven rounds of 'Tawaf" starts from the place where this Black Stone is fixed.
Now a black line has been drawn on the floor of white "Mutaf", so that people could determine the exact place of stone, if they are far from Kabat-ullah in rush time.
SEE VIDEO ----BLACK STONE
The Black Stone 1. It was Abraham (peace be upon him) who first fixed the Black Stone in its position. It is a precious stone from Paradise.
2. When Banu Bakr bin `Abd Manah bin Kinanah and Ghishan bin Khuza`ah forced Jurhum to leave Mecca, `Amr bin Al-Harith bin Mudad Al-Jurhumi buried two golden deer and the Black Stone in the Well of Zam zam. Then, he set forth with the Jurhumi fellows for Yemen.
3. The Black Stone did not rest for long in the Well of Zam zam. A woman from Khuza`ah led her people to its hiding place, for she had seen Jurhum burying it. They, therefore, restored it to its position. This took place before the construction of Qusaiy bin Kilab.
4. Under the leadership of Abu Tahir, the Karmathians seized Mecca. They killed seven hundred persons inside the Sanctuary while they were clinging to the Ka`bah. With their bodies Abu Tahir filled Zamzam up and floored the Sacred Mosque and its precincts. Moreover, he usurped the people's wealth, jewels of the Ka`bah and ripped its curtains apart. He shared out the covering of the Ka`bah amongst his followers, practised plunder age, pulled out the Ka`bah door and the golden waterspout. On the seventh of Dhul-Hijjah, 317 A.H. Abu Tahir ordered Ja`afar bin `Ilaj to remove the the Black Stone. That followed committing many atrocities against those who circumambulated the Sacred House, took seclusion for worship, bowed, or prostrated themselves therein [in Prayer]. The Karmathians took the Black Stone to Hajar (their homeland), leaving its place in the Ka`bah empty. The people, seeking blessing, used to put their hands in its empty place until the Black Stone had been restored by Sunbur bin Al-Hasan the Karmathian on Tuesday, the Day of Sacrifice, 339 A.H. Thus, the Stone remained missing for about twenty-two years.
5. In 363, a Roman approached the Black Stone and hit it violently with an axe which made a scratch that is still apparent therein. He raised his arm to hit it again, but a Yemeni stabbed him.
6. In the Year 413, the Fatimids sent some of their Egyptian followers who were induced by Al-Hakim Al-`Ubaidi. Among them was a man with reddish-blond hair, well built and tall. He carried a sword and a crowbar. He hit the Stone thrice and splinters flew. He said, "Until when will that Stone be worshipped? Neither Muhammad nor `Ali can prevent me from what I am doing. I am determined to pull this House down." Whereupon, he was surrounded by the Knights who killed and burnt him together with his supporters."
7. In 990 A.H., a non Arab came with a crowbar in his hand and hit the Black Stone. Prince Nasser, however, stabbed him to death.
8. At the end of Muharram, 1351 A.H., an Afghani came and pulled out a piece of the Stone, stole a piece of the Ka`bah covering and a piece of silver from the Ka`bah ladder. The guards caught him. Then, he has been sentenced to death as punishment. On the 28th of Rabi` I, 1351 A.H., His Majesty King `Abdul-'Aziz bin `Abdul-Rahman Al-Faisal Al-Sa'ud, came from Ta'if to the Sacred Mosque where he re-affixed the piece which had been pulled out by that damned person. He used a chemical compound mixed with musk and ambergris specially prepared by chemists to affix that piece
1. The kaba wall which is adjacent to the Golden Gate of Kabat-ullah is called "Multazim".
2. It is just in front of "MUQAM-E-IBRAHIM". It is just under the benefits and mercies of ALLAH.
3. Men generally beg Allah by touching their chests to the wall after completing their seven rounds of "Tawaf". Due ti heavy rush of men on multazim, ladies should not try to come here. it is not a compulsory element of umra,haj or tawaf. _________________________________ It is new look of kaba door ______________________________ It is an old look of kaba door (approx 80 years old) MIZAB -E- REHMAT
