Makkah al-Mukarramah: The Mother of Cities

Muslim Hands

Did you know that Allah (swt) refers to Makkah as 'The Mother of Cities' (Umm al-Qura) [The Noble Qur'an, 6:92]? It is the home of the Ka'bah, the place where the Qur'an was revealed and the birthplace of the Last Messenger (saw). Watch the below video to learn more about this sacred place!

We hope you enjoyed the above video - please do check out the rest of our Hajj 2022 video series!

Also, remember to share this beneficial knowledge with friends and family! As the Prophet (saw) said, 'Whoever guides someone to goodness will have a reward like one who did it'. [Muslim]

We pray we all get the chance to visit Makkah and Madinah in person, amin!
