Kaaba the Bait Ullah
Al-Qura’n says, [2. Surah Al-Baqarah : Ayah 124]
And when We made the House a pilgrimage for men and a (place of)
security, and: Appoint for yourselves a place of prayer on the standing-place
of Ibrahim (alaihi salaam). And We enjoined Ibrahim (alaihi salaam) and Ismail (alaihi
salaam) saying: Purify My House for those who visit (it) and those who abide
(in it) for devotion and those who bow down (and) those who prostrate
themselves.
In the above Ayah Allah clearly mentions all those who abide (in it) for
devotion and those who bow down (and) those who prostrate themselves- meaning
all those who follow Him and His commands, then Why is that we do not hear ANY
of the Prophets after Hazrat Ismail A.S. visiting or paying homage to Kaaba,
till the last Prophet? There were more than two dozen of them but we do
not hear of ANYONE of them coming the Bait-ul- Allah for any purpose - such as
pilgrimage or even just a visit. Whereas, we find almost ALL of them
going to Bait ul Maqdas?
Could someone more learned please comment for my education?!
