The Kaaba, was a place of great importance and prestige for Quraish. During the time of the
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) it faced damage due to heavy rains. Quraish decided to rebuild the
Kaaba. The walls were made / rebuilt collaboratively (turn by turn) by all different tribes. But
when it was time to place the black stone a problem regarding pla
arose. A dispute arose among the tribes and leaders about who should have the honor of fixing it.
An elderly person suggested a fair solution i.e., the first person to entering Haram next day
should place the Black Stone. Coincidently Prophet entered Haram first and solved the problem.
He took a sheet and placed the Black Stone on it. Inviting the tribal leaders, he asked them to
hold the corners of the sheet, ensuring their direct involvement. The black stone was fixed on the
wall by Prophet himself. By doing so, the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) allowed all eleven chiefs
to participate in the ceremony, resolving the dispute in an inclusive manner.
The fixing of the Black Stone in the Kaaba stands as a testament to the Prophet Muhammad's
(pbuh) exceptional leadership, influential nature, and wisdom. It showcases his commitment to
peace, unity, and finding practical solutions in challenging circumstances, leaving a profound
impact on the history of Islam.
