POSITION OF KA’BAH

 “The first house of worship appointed for mankind was at Bakkah : “full of blessing and of guidance for all world”(3:96)  Ka’bah was thus blessed house of worship and the universal house of worship  Position of ka’bah remained in place for a long of period  Arabs had installed many idols n ka’bah  Then, only Arabs visited it for worship and non –Arabs no longer interested in visiting it.  It seem Allah willed to return ka’bah its lost Glory and He raised the Last Prophet for that purpose.

 So, ka’bah would get its position as the blessed and the universal place for worship.  This because the Last Prophet is not only for Arabs, but also for non-Arabs.  The Last Prophet really purified ka’bah of all its signs of idol-worship and devote it to the worship of Allah.  Until now, the ka’bah holds the position of the blessed house of worship as it is symbol of the unity of Allah(tawhid)  It is visited now by muslims from all over the world.

conclusion  The mission of the Last Prophet required the people with certain qualities, and Arabs were the only people who possessed those required qualities.  They possessed enviably strong memory which was a prerequisite for the preservation of the revelation sent to the Last Prophet.  In addition, Arabia is situated in the middle of the globe which gave it the edge over other nations.  Arabia also the only unilingual nation and this make spreading of da’awah become easier.  Abraham’s prayer to Allah to raise a prophet among Arabs played a crucial role in the selection of Arabian peninsula as the venue for the last prophet.  The position of ka’bah is blessed place of worship and the universal place of worship.  All of these reasons constituted the wisdom behind the selection of Arabian Peninsula as the place for the Last Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w)
