Asslamoalaikum sisters brothers friends and elders, today in this video session of question and answers, we are answering of a question, that What was real color of black stone? Why did the black stone (hajar aswad) turn black?

Islamic tradition holds that the Black Stone fell from Jannah to show Adam and Eve where to build an altar, which became the first temple on Earth. Muslims believe that the stone was originally pure and dazzling white, but has become black by absorbing the sins of the thousands of pilgrims who have kissed and touched it but has since turned black because of the sins of the people who touch it.

During Tawaf, pilgrims strive to touch or kiss the Black Stone as an act of devotion and to seek blessings. Kissing or touching the Black Stone is not obligatory but optional. It is believed to be the act of worshipping Allah SWT and following the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

We pray to Allah almighty to give us permission for read, understand and follow Quran, tafseer and hadidth. Ameen
