Countries and Cities

Parmi les lieux qui ont gagné l'honneur et la grandeur se trouvent la Sainte Mecque, le berceau de la révélation et le berceau du message, où la maison où les âmes et les cœurs volent le désirant, à savoir l'ancienne maison. Dans l'une des régions les plus arides et les plus pauvres de la terre, et dans une terre rocheuse et silencieuse, entourée par le désert partout, ni planté ni eau, et dépourvue de tous les moyens de vie et de croissance, Dieu a choisi La Mecque comme son sanctuaire sûr, et pour devenir le cœur du monde et la capitale du monde, et être la ville sainte Le seul sur la surface de la terre avec un commandement divin et une appréciation divine, il est donc fier de toutes les parties de la terre et est suprême sur toutes les villes du monde. Et La Mecque a une spécificité qu'aucune autre ville sur la surface de la terre ne partage avec elle. Le critère de différenciation et l'échelle de sa différenciation sont différents des normes matérielles. La religion est la base par laquelle elle se distingue, et pour elle, elle se différencie du reste des régions et des pays. C'est la qiblah des musulmans, et elle a le plus grand rassemblement sur la face de la terre pour adorer Dieu Tout-Puissant pour passer les rituels du Hajj et de la Omra. Par amour profond pour le Pays Sacré et par ma ferme croyance en la grandeur de notre religion et de nos sainteté, ma pensée a porté sur ce livre; Pour être une référence complète, et j'espère qu'il est agréable. J'y ai rassemblé la définition, les vertus, les caractéristiques et les décisions connexes liées au Pays Interdit. Et l'une des grâces de Dieu Tout-Puissant était de produire cette image qui combinait la beauté de la forme et de la sortie et la profondeur de la présentation et du contenu.
