 Guys, never guess what I just sneaked into. Guess where I am? You just put on this white thug thing and they... Asalaamu alaikum brothers and sisters, welcome to another episode of the upper-minded thinker show. Please like, share and subscribe to support our growth. For some time now, many non-Muslims have been entering Mecca and in particular the Kaaba zone where they create videos claiming to have conquered the most sacred Islamic site in the world. Initially, it was an Israeli journalist who managed to sneak into the holy land and produce videos proclaiming that he had accessed the site without fulfilling the prerequisite of being a Muslim first. This video went viral all over the world and faced criticism from Muslims and others who emphasized the importance of respecting a country's laws. Despite the backlash, the journalist neither issued an apology nor faced any legal consequences for his actions. I was here in Mecca. The dream came true. Just last month, an African-American non-Muslim infiltrated the Masjid Al-Haram, asserting that he had conquered the holy site in the name of Jesus. He achieved viral fame, but similar to the previous incident, he faced no arrest or persecution for, you know, deception or what have you. I am a god. I am the Prince of the Kings. These instances contribute to a growing list of individuals who perceive the Kaaba as a means to attain fame. However, what does these specific videos signify? How was this man able to enter the Masjid Al-Haram with a phone and other items? Let us hear from him directly. Guys, never guess what I just sneaked into. Guess where I am? You just put on this white thode thing and they let you in. I think it's called Heram and they just let you in. No one knows that I'm here. No one checked my ID. Don't worry guys. I'm joking. I'm just about to do Oma. As-shahadu an-la, ila ha, ila Allah. As-shahadu an-la, ma-hamda, ma-sallallah, an-am-muslim. To my surprise, just like Yas, he eventually revealed that he's, in fact, a Muslim. Initially, I felt a sense of nostalgia for non-Muslims seeking fame using the holiest side of Islam. However, that sentiment gave way to joy as he concluded with the shahada, affirming his status as obviously a Muslim. Guys, never guess what I just sneaked into. Guess where I am?

Despite this good news, there are lessons we must learn from this incident now coming within the precinct of the Kaaba I. The incidents described highlight the significance of respect and sacred sight, such as the Kaaba and the cultural sensitivities associated with them. If these crucial for individuals, regardless of their religious beliefs, to understand and honour the sanctity of these places too, the videos created by non-Muslims claiming to have conquered the Kaaba for fame, obviously underlying the need for responsible use of social media platforms, such acts of deception, not only disrespect the religious sentiments of millions of Muslims scattered all over the world, but also contribute to misinformation and misunderstanding. Three, the revelation that the British non-Muslim who entered the masjid al-haram was in fact a Muslim serves as a reminder of the importance of sincerity in embracing Islam. It demonstrates that true faith cannot be built upon deception or insecurity. Both Muslims and non-Muslims should recognise the significance of genuine belief and respect for the teachings and practices of Islam rather than exploring them for personal gain or fame.
