Question:
Assalamu alaykum Shaykh,
I wanted to ask is Makkah Mukarrama not divinely protected and the Kaaba? Is this not mentioned anywhere in the Quran and Hadith? Because I was shocked when i learnt that the Qarmatians, massacred pilgrims and stole black stone?
Answer:
Waalaykumussalam warahmatullah,
Yes, and those that violated its sanctity were destroyed in turn. These are divine tests and greater yet is to come according to the hadiths of the endtimes.
