Doubt about the testimony of the Black Stone for those who kissed or touched it

 

The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said about the stone: By Allah, Allah will resurrect it on the Day of Resurrection, it has two eyes with which it sees, and a tongue with which it speaks, testifying against whoever touched it rightfully.

The evil lying disciple of Paul wonders how an inanimate object can bear witness : see, hear, and speak!


Explanation of the hadith contains a sufficient and satisfactory answer to the above-mentioned false doubt:

God Almighty has absolute power, and nothing is beyond His power, glory be to Him. He is able to breathe life into inanimate objects and give them sight and a tongue.
In this hadith, Abdullah ibn Abbas, may God be pleased with them both, says: “The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said about the Stone,” meaning the Black Stone located in the Sacred House, and its location is in the southeastern corner of the Holy Kaaba from the outside, and it is covered with a silver cover these days: “By God, God will resurrect it on the Day of Resurrection,” meaning God will make it visible on the Day of Resurrection, and will put life in it, “It has two eyes with which it sees,” meaning God will give it two eyes with which it sees whoever touches it and whoever kisses it, “and a tongue with which it speaks,” meaning it speaks with it. “ It bears witness to whoever received it in truth ,” meaning: he pointed to it or kissed it in truth. Truth is what the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, used to do with sincerity and worship of God Almighty, and it was not received with the intention of showing off, or with glorification and sanctification of the stone itself.
In the hadith: a statement of the virtue and goodness in the stone for whoever receives it.

From the perspective of “Answer the fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own eyes” Proverbs 26:5 We say:

If the wretched missionary had acted upon the commandment of his Lord and searched his book, he would not have uttered such foolishness !



We read from Joshua 24:25-27

And Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, and made for them a statute and an ordinance in Shechem.
And Joshua wrote these words in the book of the law of God. Then Joshua
said to all the people, “ This stone will be a witness against us , because it has heard all the words of the Lord which he spoke to us . It will be a witness against you, lest you deny your God.”


And its interpretation is by the interpreter William Marsh, who speaks with the guidance, inspiration, and direction of the Holy Spirit of the Christians:

Joshua's last commandment to the people:
" This stone shall be a witness against us, to remind us of our covenant which we have set up as a memorial to it. For it has heard all the words of the Lord, for it was where words could be heard ." In his saying that "the stone has heard the word of the Lord," he is strongly alluding to the fact that their hearts were harder than stones and that they turned away their ears from the word of the Lord and were deaf as if they were rocks (Genesis 31:48). Joshua was one of the greatest soldiers and leaders, but in his last words he did not mention who had done brave deeds, but rather he mentioned what the Lord had done. He did not urge the people to be brave, active, and prepared for war, but rather to worship the Lord and keep His commandments, for these are the greatest and best of human deeds .

Here



ended the adventure of the miserable missionary who turned from a hunter to a prey !

Explanation of the Holy Bible - Old Testament - Father Antonious Fikry

The stone is a testimony = Joshua set up a stone as a witness to his words (and Jacob did the same thing, Gen. 31:47). It is as if these stones or this stone are a witness to their agreement, for if they are silent, the stones will speak. And there are those who, through their neglect, love of sin, and rejection of God, have hearts that become harder than stones, as if when they are silent, these stones will speak. Joshua set up these stones, and he thought that they would prick their conscience if they turned away from God .

Matthew 7:5

You hypocrite, first remove the plank from your own eye , and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.







If the objecting Christian had done the commandments of the Bible, he would have found amazing things!!!!


John 5:39 " Search the Scriptures "!

---------------

Genesis 28:18 And Jacob rose early in the morning, and took the stone which he had put under his head, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil on the top of it. 19 And he called the name of that place

Bethel
: but the name of the city at first was Luz.
20 And Jacob made a vow, saying, “If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I am going, and will give me bread to eat and clothing to wear,
21 and I return to my father’s house in peace, then the Lord will be my God.
22 And this stone , which I have set up for a pillar, will be God’s house. Of all that you give me, I will give a tenth to you.

They object to our circumambulating the Kaaba and kissing the Black Stone. They are:


1- They worship skulls



:

2- They go around, kiss and prostrate themselves before the rotting bodies of their saints, thinking that they have the ability to heal the sick and revive the dead !

​

They deny that our hearts are attached to the Holy Kaaba and that we receive and kiss the Black Stone, while they themselves wipe themselves with a deaf stone that neither benefits nor harms, claiming that (the Lord), the god/child walked and left his footprints on it!

To every objecting charlatan, we raise our voices and say: You hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye!!

We read in an article published on the Catholic website Aleteia:

What is the truth about the footprints of the child Jesus on a stone in Egypt?


 Egypt


/Aleteia (aleteia.org/ar) The Holy Family was forced to flee to Egypt and remained there for about four years until Herod died, then they returned to Palestine. The Patriarch of Alexandria Theophilus (died 412) narrated in his book The Journey of the Holy Family The family walked from Bethlehem to Al-Falama, from there to Tell Basta, from there to Balbi, from there to Menia Janah, then to Burullus, then to Sakha near Kafr El-Sheikh, where the baby Jesus put his foot on a stone and it was imprinted on it.



This stone was hidden for fear of being stolen, and it was not found until 1986. Today, it is preserved in the Church of the Virgin Mary in Sakha, which is considered one of the most beautiful and important churches in Egypt.

Tracing the footsteps of the Holy Family to Egypt is one of the most important projects of the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism, especially since the Pope’s visit to Egypt in April 2017; and also after UNESCO declared the “Holy Family Trail” a World Heritage Site.

In October 2017, Pope Francis blessed the Holy Family’s journey to Egypt with the participation of Egyptian Minister of Tourism Yehia Rashed. The Pope’s blessing is considered an invitation to Catholic pilgrims around the world to perform their religious rituals in Egypt.
