Suldaanka Posted October 7, 2007 On top of the holy black stone - Kacbadda Going up the ladders to the top. They entered from the side door. Yes, there is another door, covered by the black veil. The door you see, the gold one (Yes, GOLD not just golden) leads to the main atrium of the Kabba. This one is sealed and the key is with a certain family living in Mecca. They have had this key since history. Muhammed PBUH didnt take it from them and he said that holding the Kabaa's key will be the responsibility of this family forever. Till now, when they need to enter the main atruim, they call for this family's big guy who has the key. My father entered through the side door. It leads to a staircase that leads directly to the roof without entering the Kabaas main hall, which is empty except for some inscriptions on the wall as I heared. Nobody is allowed in there. On the Kabaa's door is where the Quraishis put the agreement to boycott Beni Hashem, Muhammed's family. Later when they opened it to see the parchment, they found it has been eaten by bugs except for the word "Bismika Allahoma" Reached the roof. Praying. You will notice these white veils going down to cover the Kabaa, this is because this was the time of the year they clean it and install the new black veil. (a new one each year, made from the best silk, the golden verses on it is sewed with pure gold threads) Sitting on the new black veil. It is rolled and covered in protective clothing untill the kabaa is ready for its new outfit. On the left is my dad, ont the right is the guy who is responsible for the cleaning process. A final moment of meditation and though before leaving. Making use of an ipportunity that comes once in a lifetime, and that will leave millions willing to experience it.
