Nuke Mecca :-)

[fer4USA]

@januk36 The West should have a “if you destroy our monuments, we will destroy yours!” policy

[hakimsadiq1]

Did anyone notice that all of the so called Arabs where all Black.

[abbas7944]

Wahabis Destroyed The Spiritualness Of Saudi Arabia

They Ruined Saudi Arabia, Wahabis Are The Enemy Of Islam

[aminrajak1]

@abbas7944 you are lost.. check your history..

[abbas7944]

@aminrajak1 I Have, Otherwise I Wouldnt Have Made A True Fact :)

You Need To Check Your History My Good Friend.

[wildmanauh]

@aminrajak1 no he is not lost, it seems u r lost. he is 100% correct. Wahabis r islams worst enemies. read more about them then comment, not the vice versa.

[freedomm999]

@abbas7944 was your dad a wahabi

[abbas7944]

@freedomm999 Nope He Wasn't

Alhamdulillah He Is Blessed By Allah S.W.T With Alot Of Happiness And Health.

How Did You Even Get To My Dad :/. That Was Very Random.

[selime99]

Alhamdulillah

[Righteous1up]

Alhamdu lil-laahi, these old pictures prove beyond a shadow of doubt that the sons of Muhammad ibn As-Saud were black, as were the sons of Abdul Mutaalib, and his grandson Nabi Muhammad Mustafah Al-Amin ibn

abdAllah (saaws), according to ancient historian Muhammad Al-Basri

[saffffff]

@Righteous1up Salaam. If you study the seerat of Prophet Muhammad SAW and stories of the Sahabas (authentic Ahadith and stories) it clearly states as Hadhrat Bilal RA as being black in derogatary terms by the kuffar of Makkah. He is called Bilal al Habshi (Bilal the Abyssinian). Therefore youre statement is incorrent. Duas ameen

[saffffff]

@Righteous1up Oh and forgot one of the descriptions of Prophet Muhammad SAW is his hair which has been ddescribed as neither straight or curly, but somewhere in between. Black people can not have hair like that unless chemically modified.

[Righteous1up]

@saffffff wa alaika. My brother (or sister) you have to be kidding, black people have hair the texture of which spans from kink to straight. What planet have you been on all of your life. There are black people with wide noses and thick lips with straight black hair and some with red and blonde hair. I prefer the kinky black. Read: The Glory of the Blacks Over the Whites, by Muhammad Al-Basri who wrote about 80 years after Rasoolil-laahi, sal Allahu alaihi wa sallamah.

[saffffff]

@Righteous1up "What planet have you been on all of your life"??? I am sorry if i upset you my brother or sister but I meant not to. Apart from the descriptions of Moosa AS (Moses) where the description is very clear and probably many more Prophets who are of the darker skin, there is no supporting evidence, nor from Ahadith that Qureish were black. If that was the case do you not think that would have been more obvious today amongst the Saudis as the generations have come along??

[josevanreyes]

@saffffff somalis can but i agree with you. It doesnt matter anyway.

[mrlogicalman1]

@SuleymanParmaksiz hazrat bilal was first recitor of the namaaz call to prayer

[eric5906]

Hope the USA military drops a huge bomb on that craphole. Nothing but terriorists and trouble makers.

[tanish123786]

@eric5906 may Allah have mercy on you and give you hadiyah :)

[eric5906]

@tanish123786 The truth hurts, doesn't it? Everywhere you people rule (Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, etc.) preaching anything but mohammadism is forbidden. Moslem is the most violent, anger filled "religion" on the face of the earth.

[koolkol009]

Moreover, we Sunni think that we are automatically favoured by allah.But look at saddam he use to love US that today because of him a country is destroyed forever.The people are butchered like animal but because of Saddam use to live and breath USA to the point he use to dress in Cowboy suit on posters in the eighties.May allah forgive him though.

[koolkol009]

I ma shia but i don't think America is our friend and should never befriended in the first place but arabs are gullible to think that Kaffir love them.Love to steal their petrol yes but hate islam and the religion of mecca.

[islamisforme16]

The pictures are incredible MashaAllah!! Can anyone tell me who the recitor is at 0:00 - 0:07? The recitation is Subhanallah amazing!!!

[COCIOHOLIC]

@islamisforme16 I think it is ibrahim jibreen who is reciting it from the beginning

[islamisforme16]

@COCIOHOLIC JazakAllahu Khair :)

[COCIOHOLIC]

@islamisforme16 Wa iyak 

[DhikrullahDotCom]

@islamisforme16

The recitor at the beggining is Ibrahim Jibreen from surah Ra'd ayah 28

[islamisforme16]

@DhikrullahDotCom Jazakallahu Khair!

[xhollowbankaix]

@TaryakkiMuslima

Sister please do not make this into a big argument and unintentionally divide the Muslims. We Muslims have a knack for doing it these days. Rather we should be united. Let's just enjoy this beautiful video and recitation.

[TaryakiiMuslima]

It's funny how some muslims say that photography is haram or taking pictures of human beings is haram. But what if people never took these pictures then we would have less knowledge about what happened in the past, and the little details on each photo taken.

[dammee]

@TaryakiiMuslima How did these pictures give us knowledge about the past? Those people standing around, doing hajj, the Kabah look exactly the same. In fact people still dress like that. Even if they did look different all it achieved was to satisfy your curiosity. You could have read that in a book and gained the same information.

Anyway, don't make fun of people for trying to follow the deen properly. You should stay silent and not utter words that might be added into your bad deeds.

[sidkings]

@TaryakiiMuslima I know what you mean. Just the other day we were in the mosque and there was journalist from a magazine making a documentary about ELM's new extension.. we were just about to pray asr and then some guy from the conrgation started shouting "HARAAM, WHO IS THIS MAN, GET HIM OUT OF HERE!.. I felt really embarrased as this non muslim photographer probaby thinks all muslims are crazy.. what made it worse is another guy also started shouting.. fools.

[kooooldoc]

masha'Allah recitation is so good.. but why is the recitor saying sadaqAllahul adheem ? if its a recitation of salah from makkah?

[skatetennis123]

@kooooldoc where does it say he's reciting in salah?

[313Asad1]

Sister Shaykha is always participating in givng dawa....Alhamdullilah

Wow! Mashallah. I did not know they had microphones back then. It seems way too old even though it is only 125 years old.

[KhadimAsSunnah]

Amazing! Alhamdulillah!

[khansaab02]

jazakallah, may allah reward you for all ur hard work sister..

[ahyahyahy]

Nice find mashAllah

[AbuMuslimKhorasani]

Interesting! Who recorded these?

The CNN blogs states: "He was an adventurer, a scholar, and possibly a spy - but as Dutchman Christiaan Snouck Hurgronje proved with his rare 1885 photographs and sound recordings of Mecca, he was also a pioneering multimedia journalist..."

[Sncc1]

MashaAllah the recitation is still exactly the same

[translationwiz]

Barak Allah feesh ya Shaykha. The men remind me of Yemen. I never saw daggers/knives that long; worn that way. I saw the tuzzah in Sana. And the Jambiyah Arabs where. I had one too. I'd love to visit again. I love our traditions. I love our customs and freedoms. Only, Yemen now is a mess. Allah yahdeehoum. wa yahdee el muslimeen wal muslimat ajma3. Jazash-Allah khair ya shakykha. Your charity has contributed very much to my life. Please know your efforts are appreciated.

peace/salam

[ibanezmakki]

Jazak Allaahu Khayran for this upload. But my only question is whether the permissibility of displaying these photographs stands. As far as I know, the strong opinion is that photos be used only in case of necessity, which I'm not quite sure if this is.

[XaeeD]

Wow these pictures and the recording are impressive. I especially like the photograph of those 4 men. Thanks for sharing! MashaAllah..

كل شي تغييير

[sidkings]

MAASHALLAH TRULY AMAZING.. I think in those days the gap between rich and poor during Hajj was not apparent, but now with all the glitzy 5 star hotels and new train systems the gap is shocking... the saudi govt has turned it into a "religious" tourist destination 

[NaughtyBwoi]

@sidkings yeah true. scary thing is not everyones hajj is accepted. thus what must one do to strive for acceptance? is it unwise to stay in a 5 star hotel? is it unwise to train it? should one walk to the holy sites from makkah to medina to mina and so on? what must one to? should we replicate the way they did the pilgramage during the early periods??

[sidkings]

@NaughtyBwoi Brother, surely there has to be a limit. As far as Im concerned the jamarat bridge development is fine coz it reduces stampedes and increases flows of people. But everything else seems to me trying to remove any sense of difficulty. I think the options should be there but the problem is it has a negative impact on the poor, watch al jazeera

watch?v=y5WOWN7vGCw

watch?v=jeuremZd2Tw&feature=ch­annel

This could be troublesome in the future

[NaughtyBwoi]

@sidkings the second link can be disputed. it is said that hajj should be done "provided he or she has the financial means", so those guys you see on the street are example of those who are not financially secure to do such a thing, yet they do it on their own accord. even though it doesnt seem like it is compulsory for them. so no need to feel for them. they are putting themselves in that situtation. dont get me wrong its nice they are striving. they will be reawrded inshallah

[sidkings]

@NaughtyBwoi Id have to disagree bro.. the saudis dont hesitate to give $bns to the kuffar, but when it comes to helping the poor non arab hujjaj they're not so forth coming. Its the little inexpensive things that could go along way to help ppl. I think if you were a poor person you would agree. Its a 2 tier system now.

Saudis generally have an arrogant & contemptuous attitude towards to non arab muslims, hence the slave like treatment of migrant workers in particular rampant abuse of maids...

[NaughtyBwoi]

@sidkings yeah i suppose your right, although do remember they donated alot to muslim countries that suffer from natural disasters. i read somewhere they gave pakistan $100 million in aid. and so forth, however you are right in what you say. but then again they cant provide funds to everyone. their citizens have to come first, which is reasonable. its not like they're rich like America, i agree with your last paragraph. lets hope their not like that. sallams

[sidkings]

@NaughtyBwoi Wasalaam Bro, absolutley they give more than any other muslim country along with Kuwait , as they have the means to do so, and may Allah swt reward that generosity in abundance... Ive heard first hand from Bangladeshi mirgrant workers that spent years working there and it really is infuriating to hear the abuse & neglect they had to endure, but inshallah the ones that do cause trouble will learn the errors of thier way.. Salaams

[koolkol009]

@sidkings The saud are kuffar for supporting America to bomb iran!!!

[sidkings]

@koolkol009 I know what you mean.. Who the heck does the "king" think he is?? all that oil belongs to the ummah NOT HIM and his family.. and whats more they are slaves to the US and dont care about the palestinians on thier doorstep.. they shook hands, hugged 7honoured people like Dick Dheney, George Bush etc.. the 2 biggest kuffar in the world ... I respect Iran for having the guts to stand up to the west and hold thier own.. despite sanctions and vilification by media..

[koolkol009]

@sidkings Wallahahi I am sunni although I feel disgusted that my Sunni brother muslims in Saudi, Yemen, Bahrain, United Emirates and Jordan are advocating to bomb Iran because of its nuclear power.Brother allah has forbidden us to attack our neighbour who by the way try their utter best to leave at peace with us and support hezbollah who support Palestinian kids murdered every day.Today I really feel ashamed to be Sunni

[darklight254]

@koolkol009

"Today I really feel ashamed to be Sunni"

Don't let the actions of a few let you be ashamed to call yourself Sunni...however sticking to just the word Muslim is preferable. Sunni should only be used to distinguish oneself from the Shia, (sunni coming from "sunnah"...as the Shia reject the sunnah)

[101RandomFilms]

@darklight254 well everything you said its true except being ashhamed of being sunni,

[mali14125]

@darklight254 you my friend, are an idiot....hadiths obviously in bukhari and muslim support Shi'a but anyhow, plz let people enjoy this beautiful vid

[Lebztaa]

@mali14125 no brother muslim & bukhari arnt there to support anyone its authentic history . not for shia or sunni its for who ever wants to follow the prophet

[mali14125]

@Lebztaa ya Akhi, Bukhari has many Hadiths that cannot be Hadiths..same time having Hadiths that contradict Ahlul Sunnah wal Jama'a.....and by the way, i apologize for calling you an idiot...i was angry already at something that whole day

[saladinswarrior]

MashaAllah...this video helps us appreciate the legacy we are all a part of.
