Hajr-e-aswad

History of Hajar-e-aswad.

In the middle of a deserted valley surrounded by mountains, two men were at work. Slowly slowly, brick by brick, they were building the house of Allah . The friend and Prophet of Allah , Prophet Ibrahim (AS) and his dear son, the grandfather of the Prophet (SAW), Prophet Ismail (AS) were building the (Kabah), continuously supplementing to Allah, until the Kabah had been created. It was missing one stone. On seeing this, Hazrat Ibrahim(AS) instructed Hazrat Ismail (AS) to go search for a stone, so that he can put into the empty space. Hazrat Ismail (AS) obeying his father’s orders went searching for a stone, during which time Hazrat Jibrael Alayhis Salam brought the Hajre Aswad to Ibrahim (AS). Allah SWT had placed the stone in mount Abu Kays, when the great flood occurred in the time of Hazrat Nuh (AS), and ordered Hazrat Jibrael Alayhis Salam that when you see my friend making my house, take the stone out for him and give it to him.

Hazrat Ismail (AS)returned, and on seeing this stone he asked (Oh my father, where did you get this from?” Hadzat Ibrahim (AS) replied, “Hazrat Jibrael(AS) brought it.)
Hazrat Jibrael(AS) placed the stone in its place, and Hazrat Ibrahim (AS) applied the finishing touches. The Hajre Aswad was sparkling because of its pure whiteness, and it enlightened the north, south, east and west.

"It has been related in a Hadith that Hadhrat Jibrael(AS) brought the Hajre Aswad from Jannah."

MOST IMPORTANT THING

"The Hajre Aswad is that stone, from which millions of Muslims begin their tawaaf. When it first came from Paradise, it was brighter than snow and milk. Its length is approximately one foot and is embedded in the corner of the Kabah. Allah Ta’ala has given the stone a special attribute, that if any human kisses, touches or even gives istilam to the stone, it seeks forgiveness of sins for that very human and on the day of Judgement the stone will be given a tongue and will give witness for whoever has visited it on that day.
