It is claimed by Muslims that the (originally pagan) Black Stone of the Ka’aba, in Mecca, fell from the moon and landed at the feet of Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden. There is no historical or Biblical evidence for this belief. Obviously, unless it was taken aboard the Ark by Noah it would have been lost during the worldwide flood and so after the flood it could not have been identified from any other, ordinary piece of black rock. As there is no evidence for a black stone being taken on board the Ark, perhaps someone can explain,- - -
1. How anyone could possibly know that it fell at the feet of Adam and Eve?
2. What happened to it during the flood?
Please give evidence.

The Black Rock was examined during the early part of this century, it is an unusually large piece of meteoritic material. All other stories are superstitious nonsense.

Closest I can find mentions Black Sabbath and Adam Ant. This book of mine is proving to be useless, after all.

With regard to your question, Sheikh Ahmad Kutty, a senior lecturer and Islamic scholar at the Islamic Institute of Toronto, Ontario, Canada., answers:

There are various reports from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) concerning the origin of the Black Stone, but most of them are of doubtful origins. In Islam, we should not base our belief on sources which we cannot verify one hundred percent. The only fact that we can certainly establish is that it was put there by Prophet Ibrahim and Isma’eel (peace be upon them both) by the order of Almighty Allah, and the purpose of it was to indicate the beginning of Tawaf (Circumambulation of the Ka`bah).

Thus we as Muslims do not attach divine power to the stone. As `Umar ibn Al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) is reported to have said: “You are just a stone that does not benefit or harm anyone, and if I had not seen the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) kissing you, I would have not done so."

So, we are simply touching or kissing the Black Stone in order to honor us with association with the great Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); it does not imply any reverence whatsoever.

However, some other scholars have classified some of the Hadith reports concerning the Black Stone as sahih (authentic) and as such they relate some importance to the Black Stone. The prominent Saudi scholar Sheikh Muhammad Salih Al-Munajjid, quotes some of those hadiths:

1. Ibn `Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “The Black Stone came down from Jannah (Paradise).” (At-Tirmidhi)

2. Ibn `Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) also narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “When the Black Stone came down from Paradise, it was whiter than milk, but the sins of the sons of Adam made it black.” (At-Tirmidhi)

3. Ibn `Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) further related that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “By Allah, Allah will bring it forth on the Day of Judgment, and it will have two eyes with which it will see and a tongue with which it will speak, and it will testify in favor of those who touched it in sincerity.” (At-Tirmidhi)

4. Ibn `Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) quoted the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) as saying: “Touching them both [the Black Stone and Ar-Rukn Al-Yamani] is an expiation for one’s sins.” (At-Tirmidhi)



Perhaps people should research before the speak!!

Good question.
There will be no truthful answer, because islam is a lie.
