KAABAH REFUSES TO MOVE by: Tuan Guru Hj Mohd Baqi Osman (MBO)

1. One of the interesting lectures presented by MBO is related to the As Sirat Bridge.

2. The bridge that spans the hell to heaven is flexible. It can grow, shrink, shorten and extend according to the group that will pass through it. If the believer is, it will certainly widen and shorten. As for the infidels, it will diminish and extend.

3. Among those who will also move towards heaven is KAABAH.

4. The MALAIKAT came to bring Allah SWT command to the beautifully decorated KAABAH that day to move towards heaven.

5. Surprisingly, though the KAABAH knew that is ALLAH SWT command, KAABAH still refused to move.

6. Then the MALAIKAT asked why KAABAH refused to move to heaven.

7. The KAABAH replied that it would not move to heaven unless it was accompanied by all the people who had circumambulator (TAWAF) around KAABAH during perform their disciplines in UMRAH & HAJJ.

8. Then the MALAIKAT collect all those who have been TAWAF previously to accompany the KAABAH to heaven.

9. The KAABAH kept silent about not moving.

10. The MALAIKAT asked again why KAABAH did not want to move.

11. KAABAH replied, there are some people who are not present.

12. When examined, the people concerned were thrown into hell for the wrongdoing they had committed in the world.

13. The MALAIKAT informed KAABAH that the person was sinful and had to be tortured in hell.

14. The KAABAH says it does not matter whether the person is guilty or not.

15. What is important is that KAABAH will not move to heaven until be accompanied by all those who have TAWAF around him previously.

16. MALAIKAT had reported to ALLAH SWT about the phenomenon and situation.

17. ALLAH SWT The Most Forgiving and Merciful continues to declare that those people have been forgiven of their sins.

18. They were then brought out of hell and accompanied the KAABAH to heaven.

.... Wallahu a'lam bis sawab....
