Asslamoalaikum sisters brothers friends and elders, today in this video session of question and answers, we are answering of a question, that Why black stone was becomes into pieces? Who was broke Hajar Aswad?

Originally, Hajr e Aswad was a single stone. However, the stone was broken down into eight pieces During the civil war between the caliph Abd al-Malik and Ibn Zubayr who controlled Mecca, the Kaaba was set on fire in 683 C.E. Reportedly, the Black Stone broke into pieces and Ibn Zubayr reassembled it with silver. The encasement of Hajr e Aswad that holds the stone together is manufactured from pure silver. It serves as a protective mechanism for the holy stone. The silver encasement was first made by Abdullah bin Zubair (RA) and later replaced by different Caliphs. Hajr e Aswad today measures 7.9 inches (20 cm) by 6.3 inches (16 cm). However, due to the remodeling of the stone on different occasions, the dimensions of the Hajr e Aswad have changed over time.

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