Is Bakkah Mecca?!
I think that this talk about Al-Masjid Al Haram has become repetitive in the eyes of many, but many aspects raised about it must be clarified because it is a very important topic, and its importance is not only intellectual, but because it is a topic that touches the reality of every Muslim.
Of course, among the many responses to our talk about Al-Masjid Al Haram, they always come from the heritage and biography that reached the Muslim as an argument and evidence that rises above the word of Allah, to confirm the invalidity of our talk about Mecca, and the invalidity of the idea of the so-called pyramids being Al-Bayt Al-Haram. Rather, it is an accusation that the hadith is linked to the existence of A satanic orientation and preventing Muslims from the House of Allah in Mecca, and diverting them to the place of the Antichrist in what are falsely called the pyramids, or a Masonic orientation.
We will not discuss those accusations, but rather we will discuss the topic itself.
I believe, as every Muslim believes, that the Qur’an is the word of Allah, and Allah is the most knowledgeable and most knowledgeable of His religion and His House…. True?!
This means that Allah is the one who rules, not humans, and therefore I believe that any Muslim will not object to Allah’s ruling on any issue, especially related to his religion, because Allah has given us a book in which his religion and His law are detailed for us, with regard to other topics and details of life in behaviors and transactions. For example, we can listen to people’s opinions and we can adopt them in accordance with logic and truth. As for religion, its rituals, and its places, no human being, not even the messengers themselves, have an opinion on it. The first and last ruling belongs to Allah only, because it is His religion and not the religion of Muhammad or the religion of Ibrahim or others or Musa or Issa.
correct ?!
So let us agree… Allah is the one who arbitrates between us on the subject of Al-Bayt Al-Haram, and because the Qur’an is the word of Allah, he is the arbiter between us, and we do not listen to the words of anyone other than Allah in order to know from the words of Allah his religion and the location of his house. That is, there is no ruling for the book of Ibn Hisham’s biography or the heritage. On this subject, the Messenger has no ruling on the subject, even if he wrote for us a million hadiths… the subject of a final chapter.
Do you agree?!
Now: Is Mecca Bakkah?!
According to the belief of many, which has come from heritage books, that Mecca is Bakkah, and that Mecca is the name of the city, and Bakkah is the name of the place where the house is located.
Of course, the two words are similar, so what’s preventing them from being the name of the same place?! And that’s what many people think.
But the truth is…. there are words around us that when changing one letter of the word turns it into a meaning for something else, so what about the word of Allah?!
If we present an example that matches the case we have (Bakkah and Mecca), we have two different things with one letter:
Dates and salt
The word (dates) (بلح) is a type of fruit
The word “salt” (ملح) is a white substance added to food
If we changed the letter (b) from the word (date) and replaced it with the letter (m), would we produce a word meaning the same type of fruit?!
We will produce (salt)… not from the fruits
So, can this criterion be applied to our topic (Bakkah and Mecca), and can we say that (Bakkah) is different from (Mecca)?!
According to this standard and logic… yes
Why does a Muslim find this same standard difficult to accept and apply to the subject of (Bakkah and Mecca)?!
I’ll tell you why
The reason is because the two words are similar, but the most important and fundamental reason is because the phonetic output of the letter (b) is close to the phonetic output of the letter (m), and because of this closeness, the science of Tajweed was able to take root in the mind of the Muslim and that there is no disagreement. In the science of Tajweed What is taught to the Muslim as knowledge from Allah says: The combination of the two letters in the Qur’an obligates the Muslim to hide the letter (b) when it meets the letter (m).
Example :
{Ride with us}
The science of Tajweed requires the Muslim to recite the sentence by reciting:
{See you with us}
But you wonder why the letter (M) was shown at the expense of the letter (B), because it is possible to show the letter (B) and hide the letter (M)?!
This entrance is the main, essential entrance that prevented the Muslim mind from understanding the difference between (Bakkah) and (Mecca)… Because this original entrance is what implanted in the Muslim mind the idea that the letters (B and M) are one letter, and that there is no There is no problem at all in pronouncing the letter (b) as the letter (m), and therefore there is no problem after that in pronouncing the word (Bakkah) with (Mecca).
This means that (Bakkah) is (Mecca)… because the letter (b) is the letter (m).
This is the true, original basis behind this belief among the Muslim, which was able to hide (Bakkah) and appear in the Muslim’s reality (Mecca).
First, let us ask a logical question:
What is the reason behind saying: “The first house established for the people was the one in Bakkah?!
Was there an obstacle or difficulty during the revelation that prevented him from making the sentence in this form, so that the Muslim would not enter into a maze between Mecca and Bakkah?!
Also… since Bakkah is Bakkah, why do we not stick to one name, and what is the reason for having two names for one place?!
Of course, this matter… and the tradition found a solution for it… by saying that the location of the house is (Bakkah) and the name of the city is (Mecca).
Let’s agree…but is it possible that the Qur’an is busy alerting the Muslim to a meaningless name?! … Or in other words… If what the heritage says is true… then would it be wrong if the Qur’an said, “The first house established for mankind was the one in the city of Mecca”?!
no
What is the need to mention the name of the spot where the house is located (Bakkah)…. Because it is enough to say that the first house is in the city of (Mecca), and we will know this?!
Why are the Qur’an busy mentioning the name of the spot in which the house is located, and at the same time busy mentioning the name of the city in which the house is located?!
Also, logic says…if the name of the spot where the house is located was actually (Bakkah)…then realistic logic says that the city will bear the same name as this spot over time…because this name is sacred and… The entire place will be called the same name as the spot. The name of the spot will dominate all of its surroundings. And with time, the name of the city will become (Bakkah).
So…does the Qur’an completely separate the topic of (Bakkah and Mecca), or in other words, does the Qur’an say that (Bakkah) is not (Mecca), and that Bakkah is clearly not in Mecca?!
Yes
First…let us learn about important Qur’anic concepts
At present, we call it [A B T Th C… Y] with which we write (words) in letters of the alphabet.
But Allah gives [A B T Th C …….. Y] another name, which is (the verses)… meaning that the word of Allah is written in His book using (the verses).
{A L R ¤ These are the verses of the clear Book}
That is, [A L R M T…. S] are the verses of the clear Book
{A Book whose verses are explained in detail by our readers in Arabic for a people who know}
That is, it is a book written with verses (letters) and its reading is Arabic
Clear, indisputable words
Do you agree?!
When Revelation describes the Book of Allah, it says:
{Allah is the One who sent down the Book with truth and balance}
This means that there is an accurate balance in the Book of Allah, with no addition or subtraction. Every word of Allah is in its correct place.
Example :
If I asked you to write a word of the three letters (H R M)?!
Of course, you will write (haram) or you will write (spear).
But in the Book of Allah, the word is written (H-R-M), and it is made up of three verses (H), (R), and (M) in correct and precise positions… and it is read (Haram) and not (Rahm)… and If you read the word (spear), you would have changed the positions of the verses in the Book of Allah and distorted the Word of Allah in His Book.
in another meaning
{H R M ¤ These are the verses of the clear Book ¤ a book whose verses have been explained in detail for our readers in Arabic ¤ Allah who sent down the Book with truth and balance}
——————-
Now…the Revelation gives you a simple example that explains and clarifies for you, through it, this fundamental issue that can distort the entire world even at the level of a single letter (a single verse)…and provides you with an analogy upon which you can firmly build your understanding of the Qur’an and The words of Allah and our topic (Bakkah and Mecca).
{Among those who are Al-Yahoud, they distort words from their proper places and say, “We hear” and “we disobeyed,” and “Hear without listening,” and “We obeyed” with their tongues and insulted the religion. And if they had said, “We hear and we obey,” and “Listen and we will see,” it would have been better for them and more upright. But Allah has cursed them for their disbelief, so they believe only a few.)
What is the meaning of this conversation ?!
If we assume that there is in the Book of Allah the word (A S M A) and it is made up of (four verses), then if you know and know well how to read and read the word (listen), then you are following the truth that Allah revealed in His Book, but if you read the word (Hear) and you know that it is (listen), then you have disbelieved in the word of Allah after you heard the word of Allah, because you have distorted the word of Allah after you heard it, because you have changed a verse of the word, which is verse (a), from its correct place (the meter) and replaced it. With another verse, which is (m), and the word of Allah (listen) was changed into (heard).
Even if you change one letter (one verse) of the word, you are an unbeliever and an oppressor because you have distorted the word of Allah after you heard the word of Allah and you know how to read the book of Allah.
I distorted the Book of Allah after I learned how to read it and made it a crooked and not sound reading, and I distorted the Word of Allah after I heard it and reasoned with it.
The revelation tells you (listen) not (heard)… two different words
Therefore, you will understand the revelation’s speech well when it tells you the following:
{A Book whose verses are detailed. Our reciters are in Arabic for a people who know. ¤ Our reciters are in Arabic, without any crookedness, that they may be righteous. ¤ Do you hope that they will believe in you, when a group of them used to hear the word of Allah and then distort it after they had understood it while they knew.)
And you will also understand…the true meaning of the nature of the difference in the Book of Allah that was given to Musa.
{And We gave Musa the Book, but they disagreed about it, and had it not been for a word that had preceded from Your Allah, it would have been decided between them, and they are in doubt about it, doubtful.}
Now….what does all of the above mean?!
It means a final, conclusive result……..that when Allah tells you in his book that his house exists in a place (BK)……….and you know how to read the book of Allah, and you have read the word. (Mecca) or (Fakka) or (Maqqa), then you are also unjust and have disbelieved in the word of Allah, even if you changed the pronunciation of one letter (one verse) of the word of Allah, because you changed the (verses) of the word from its correct positions that Allah revealed with the scale and you distorted it. Word of Allah.
You distorted the Book of Allah after you learned how to read it and made its reading crooked and not sound, and you distorted the Word of Allah after you heard it and reasoned with it, and you will be among those who turned away from the path of Allah to His house in Bakkah.
Now consider carefully the letter of revelation to you:
{Indeed, the first House established for mankind is that which is in Bakkah, blessed and a guidance for the worlds. (96) In it are clear signs, the standing place of Ibrahim. And whoever enters it will be safe. And for Allah is the obligation of the people to make the Hajj to the House, whoever is able to make a way to it, and whoever disbelieves, then Allah is of no need of the worlds. (97) Say, O People of the Book, why do you disbelieve in signs? Allah Allah is a witness to what you do (98) Say, “O People of the Book, why do you turn away from the path of Allah from those who believe? You seek it crookedly while you are witnesses, and Allah is not unaware of what you do. (99) O you who have believed, if you obey a party of those who were given the Book, they will turn you back into disbelief after you have believed. (100) }
1- The first house built for people was the one in Bakkah.
{Indeed, the first house established for mankind was the one in Bakkah}
2- And if you persist and read the word (Bakka) in the Book of Allah as (Mecca) or (Dakka) or (Fakka) or (Maqqa), then you are among those who disbelieve.
{And whoever disbelieves, then Allah is Free of the worlds}
3 – The revelation speaks to me by telling you:
When you disbelieved (the verses of Allah) in His Book (Bakkah), in which the word (Bakkah) was written, and Allah is now a witness to this act of yours.
{Say, O People of the Book, why do you disbelieve in the verses of Allah? Allah is Witness of what you do.}
When you hinder the believers from the path of Allah to His House in (Bakkah) (Bakkah) and want to make (the signs of Allah) in His Book crooked (Mecca) while you are a witness and know that it is an Arabic Qur’an without any crookedness, and Allah is not unaware of what you are doing now. .
{Say, O People of the Book, why do you turn away from the path of Allah from the believers? You seek it crookedly while you are witnesses, and Allah is not unaware of what you do.}
4 – The revelation addresses the believers in Allah whose home is in Bakkah:
O you who have believed, if you obey the people to whom We have given the Book of Allah, and they disbelieve in it and its signs, and change the verses of the Book of Allah, and distort the word of Allah, and change the word of Allah (Bakkah) into (Mecca), they will replace you as disbelievers after you have believed. They have changed the word (Bakkah) to Mecca ) .
{O you who have believed, if you obey a party of those who were given the book, they will turn you back into disbelievers after you have believed.}
————————–
And what does it mean too?!
This also means……that if you disbelieved in the word of Allah found in His Book and disbelieved in (His signs) and changed the word of Allah (Bakkah) and made it (Mecca), then you convinced the people that the House of Allah is in (Mecca).
Then you decided to establish a city called (Mecca) and build a building (mosque) in it. You will have built a new mosque in disbelief in Al-Masjid Al Haram in Bakkah, the first mosque established for people based on piety, and you will be a warrior against Allah and His religion, and your building will still be standing. To this day, you are in the heart of Mecca, playing the game of disbelief on the believers to whom you swear that you are one of the doers of good, of those who disbelieved and kept people away from Al-Masjid Al Haram in Bakkah.
{Those who have made a mosque to cause harm and disbelief and to divide among the believers and as a shelter for those who waged war against Allah and His Messenger before, and they will swear: We desire nothing but the best. Allah bears witness that they are indeed liars. (107) Never stand therein a mosque that was founded on piety from the first day. It is more deserving that you stand therein. There are men who love to purify themselves. Allah loves. Those who are purified (108) Is he who founded his building on piety from Allah and His pleasure better, or he who founded his building on the brink of a scorching cliff, so it collapses with him in the fire of Hell? Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people. (109) Their structure which they built will remain in doubt in their hearts unless their hearts are cut off. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.}
{And it is He who withheld their hands from you, and your hands from them in the interior of Mecca, after He had given you victory over them, and Allah is ever Seeing of what you do. (24) They are the ones who disbelieved and turned you away from Al-Masjid Al Haram, while the sacrificial animal was withheld until it reached its place. And had it not been for believing men and believing women, you had not taught them that you should tread on them, and a disgrace befall you from them without knowledge, so that it might enter. Allah is in His mercy whom He wills. If they were removed, We would surely have punished those who disbelieved among them with a painful punishment. (25) When those who disbelieved put in their hearts the fever of ignorance, then Allah sent down His tranquility upon His Messenger and upon the believers, and made them obligated to the word of piety, and they were more deserving of it and its people. And Allah is All-Knowing of all things. (26) Allah has spoken the truth. His Messenger, the vision is true. You will certainly enter Al-Masjid Al Haram, Allah willing, safe, with your heads shaved and cut short, and do not fear. He knew what you did not know, so He made other than that a victory soon. (27) It is He who sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth to make it prevail over all religions. And Allah is sufficient as a witness.}

finally
A logical question: What is the fundamental obstacle to printing new copies of the Qur’an and placing the verse in these copies: “Indeed, the first house established for mankind was the one in Mecca.” I will do this work and make my children recite the Qur’an in this way?
Don’t tell me: Fear Allah.
I fear Allah and there is no distortion of the word of Allah at all… because it is identical to reality. The House of Allah is in (Mecca) now… and there is no problem with making the word Mecca instead of Mecca in the Qur’an.
And if you told me: The matter is a distortion of the word of Allah…….. then you have simply answered yourself…. You are the distorter, not me…. because you distorted reality and now you are performing Hajj to Mecca and not to Mecca. Bakka, which Allah told you in his book that his house is there, and he commands you to perform Hajj to it.
Fear Allah as you should fear Him
{And indeed, messengers before you were denied, but they were patient in what they were denied and were harmed until Our help came to them, and there is no one to change the words of Allah. And indeed there has come to you news of the messengers.}
{And recite what has been revealed to you from the Book of your Allah. There is no one who can change His words, and you will not find anyone united with Him apart from Him.}
