A spiritually moving ceremony for the annual Ghusl-e-Kaaba took place in Makkah, where the inside of the Holy Kaaba was cleaned using 40 liters of Zamzam water mixed with rose water.
This beautiful ritual, which follows the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, happened early in the morning after the Fajr prayer. Members of the Saudi royal family and other respected guests were present for this sacred event.
During the ceremony, the inner walls, the floor, the ceiling, and the door of the Kaaba were carefully washed and then scented with oud and other special fragrances. This act of cleansing is a symbol of respect and love for the holiest site in Islam. It reminds Muslims of the importance of cleanliness, purity, and devotion to faith.
The Ghusl-e-Kaaba is not a new tradition. It has been carried out for centuries and holds deep spiritual value for Muslims around the world. This special ritual is usually performed on the 15th day of Muharram each year according to the Islamic calendar. The event brings together leaders, scholars, and dignitaries who gather to witness and take part in this unique moment of unity and reverence.
For many Muslims, the washing of the Kaaba is a reminder of the Prophet’s teachings and an occasion to renew their own spiritual connection with Allah. It also shows the respect and honor given to the House of Allah, which continues to stand as a symbol of faith for millions.
