Makkah

Makkah al Mukarramah is a very sacred land of Muslims. For God Almighty has made that clear in the Qur'an."And if they do not notice, that We have made (their country) a sanctuary secure, while men around him rob-rob. So why (after the real truth), they still believe in a false and disbelieve in the favor of Allah? "(Surat al-Ankabut [29]: 67).In addition to Mecca, which is also called the holy land by God is Palestine and in surrounding areas. "O my people, go to the holy land (Palestine) which Allah has prescribed for you, and do not run backward (for fear of the enemy), then you become the people perish." (Al Maidah [5]: 21). See also in surah Al-Isra [17] Paragraph 1.While Madinah Al Munawwarah, sanctified by the Prophet Muhammad. Anas RA said that the Prophet SAW said, "Madinah is haram (holy land) from this to this, should not be cut (cut) tree, and should not be done bid'ahdi dalamna. Any person who makes heresy (or protect those who do heretics) on it, then he hit curse of Allah, angels, and all mankind. "(Bukhari).As the town is cleansed, of course, Mecca has many privileges. Among other things, the establishment of God's house (House), as a mecca for Muslims all over the world.All Muslims must confront face towards the Sacred House, each will establish prayer five times a day.In addition, of course, the glory of Mecca, as this is where God sent the prophet of the first (Adam) and the final prophet (Muhammad SAW).
