Tankus Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 Ever wondered whats underneath the shroud ..?Its a meteorite ...! Inside the art-deco looking display unitLGFTouching or kissing the Black Stone has a profound impact on the faithful as it is suppose to count in their favor on judgment day. The great Muslim traveler from Valencia, Ibn Jubayr (1145 - 1217) describes the emotion he felt on touching the stone; The stone, when one kisses it, has a softness and freshness which delights the mouth, so much so that he who places his lips upon it wishes never to remove them. It suffices, moreover, that the Prophet said that it is the Right Hand of God on Earth.
