Re: Masjid-Al-Haraam (Makkah) in Future
but whats with this umbrella thing over the masjid?
Why not? I went for umrah back in 2005 and I can tell you right now that when the sun hit the floors, you cannot even look at the floor lolzzz, that's how bright the floor (around the kaaba) gets that you have to have sunglasses. I don't see anything wrong with having umbrellas to protect the pilgrims from the sun and heat.

Why don't they build a roof over it and walls, and pump cold air through air conditioners? And why not construct the floor with tarmac so people can drive/ride bikes around the kaaba so tawaf can be done quicker?
Re: Masjid-Al-Haraam (Makkah) in Future
Bikes lol? Why not just have a train or something that carries everyone and goes in circle around the kabah, that would be even faster.
Re: Masjid-Al-Haraam (Makkah) in Future
yea.. a bullet train. something similar to what our Prophet would have done.. as quickly as possible, as luxorious and easy it can be.
Re: Masjid-Al-Haraam (Makkah) in Future
^ Br / Sr. : A person never learns if they don't ask. So questions such as yours would not be considered dumb. The word Haraam as in Masjid-ul-Haraam is from the root word *ha ra ma spelled as huruma or harama *which means 'sacred' or 'having sanctity'. So Haraam means the 'boundaries of Sanctity' and in religious context it means that 'which is outside the sacred boundaries of deen'. Simillarly Muharram-ul-Haraam ~ the very sacred month which has sacred limits assigned with it. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Haraam means forbidden. Masjid al-haraam translates to 'forbidden mosque', since it is forbidden to non-Muslims. Just like the Forbidden City located in Beijing China - It is called termed 'forbidden' because locals & foreigners were forbidden from entering, and only the royals + emperors (of Ming and Qing dynasties), and anyone with their permission were allowed inside.

Then why didn't the Prophet do tawaf on horses? Or maybe He did and I haven't read it. If you can just enlighten me...
Re: Masjid-Al-Haraam (Makkah) in Future
jitna gur dalo ghay utna meetha ho ga... if you are going to do tawaf on bullet train or bikes, people might do it more and often so it may be same sawaab as those doing less on foot?

hey i did it in that year as well! and that too in the middle of the arabian summer!
so true about the glare off the white ground! Subhanallah u cannot do umrah in the middle of the day w/o sun glasses... otherwise u'd be too teary to see anything!
Allah SWT mujhe jaldi se wahaN pe waapis bula le, Amin.
Re: Masjid-Al-Haraam (Makkah) in Future
^ Yes it does. I was there from May 16 -to- June 1 :)
Re: Masjid-Al-Haraam (Makkah) in Future
HHL 
because it brings dirt and in khana kaabaa you cannot even wear shoes so how can you imagine like bikes and horses things.

But trust me thats mashallah se much better because they keep cleaning the floors and when my dad did it in 70 the khana kaaba 's floor was black and un ke paon mein chaaley parh gaye they.Imagine the time in Prophet Mohammad (p.b.u.h.) when they used to do.
Re: Masjid-Al-Haraam (Makkah) in Future
But the floors back then were not made out of marble like they are today and maybe there was dirt already present there as we are talking about 1400 years ago, not 140 
As for the floor in your above post, yes they clean it but that is not what I was talking about.
Re: Masjid-Al-Haraam (Makkah) in Future
not dirt it was mud there is suppose to be differnce between mud and horse’s poop.And people on that time had different cleaning issues then now.ALhamdulillah we don’t have to deal with them.
still we cannot bring motorcycles in kabaa when they are coming from outside they may have dirt in them najas na paaaki pata nahi kahaan se lag jaaye
Re: Masjid-Al-Haraam (Makkah) in Future
Such as…? And even if they did, will it change the ruling which already exists
Re: Masjid-Al-Haraam (Makkah) in Future
no the rulings will always be the same and we are the ones who need to follow it. You know better than me than why are you asking
