History Of Kiswa Colors During 1440 Years

Kiswa is the cloth covering the Kaaba which is famous for its black color. But in its history, Kiswa was not always black as it has changed over the centuries. Prophet ﷺ covered the Kaaba with a cloth from Yemen when He performed the farewell pilgrimage. The Kiswa of the Kaaba is a beautifully embroidered cloth used to cover the Kaaba, the central building in the Masjid-al-Haram located in Makkah, Saudi Arabia.

Bhag e Fidak

Bhag e Fidak: A Disputed Land The Jewish inhabitants of the region gifted the Prophet Muhammad a fertile oasis located near Medina called Bhag e Fidak.
