Tawaf as a symbol of the aesthetic symbols of Islam

In the Sacred House I saw - from the bridge of the circling on the first floor - an unparalleled aesthetic in the scenery of the circumnavigation; a beautiful breathtaking picture: consistency in movement, and consistency in the colors that differed, even if there was unification.

In Tawaf; Muslims worship God and approach him and they are in the midst of crowds, men and women, old and young, poor and rich, Arabs and Ajam, intellectuals and commoners. Muslims - regardless of their doctrinal doctrines and doctrine - worship God in the flow, a difference in some parts of jurisprudence, and even in some assets.

Muslims, despite belonging to countries or states separated by the whims of politics for each of them accepted and loyalty, roam in one direction, and pray behind one imam.

The ancient house has remained in place since Abraham lifted his bases and Ishmael, and in one of his pillars Abraham mourned the pilgrimage. People from that time to this day of people have been standing sect, kneeling prostrate seeking God as well as our pleasure.

The renewed call for monotheism and its light since it was purged by Muhammad peace be upon him from idols, continues to remind people of their one God, unite them on one kiss, and remember the meanings of the farewell sermon that reminded pilgrims that they are of one origin and one father is Adam, Adam of dust, and their Lord one And that the virtue of them to the Arab on Ajami nor to white on black, and to honor them with God piety them.

I said that if Muslims were able to present to the world the aesthetics of Islam with its civilized face in other fields, as presented in this picture, in the movement of circling around the Kaaba as they compete in approaching the Kaaba and the Black Stone, and in the shrine of Abraham and stone; to change the face of the world.

This living model of unity and equality can be resurrected in the nation whenever it decides to return to God and reference book and the Sunnah of the Prophet peace be upon him. The aesthetic of the Kaaba in its curtain, where a dark black embroidered with verses from the Koran, and beautiful shapes embroidered with threads of gold, become more splendid as the spotlight sheds to increase the scenic beauty and majesty.

Aesthetically shaped from all colors of the spectrum, you see from the top of the bridge as a harmonious painting, where black jilbabs and burqas cover women, with various forms of hijab. A group of women shows only the face, while others from the Muslim peoples of Ajami - from Turkey to Malaysia and Indonesia - to wear modest clothing but bright colors.

For example, organizers of the Umrah journey of the Turks have mastered their women to distinguish their women with a distinctive rose-like mark at the top of their respective veils, and Malaysians or Indonesians have chosen to dress their women in a single color that distinguishes them from other pilgrims. Their men wore similar trousers and shirts in reference to their high order in the culture of order and order, while the Moroccans chose to melt into the crowd and practice their silence in silence.

In tawaaf lies the aesthetic view of women as a human being and not a nakedness, so that there is no need for burqa or cover the face in tawaaf, even in the doctrinal doctrines that see that the veil is not completed only niqab.

In tawaaf, men hardly pay attention to or provoke women, and women hardly pay attention to it or provoke it. Both are preoccupied with something more: humanity and equality have been manifested in all their meanings, through equal status of worship and slavery.

Muslims and Muslims, Kanton and Qantat, worshipers and worshipers, tourists and tourists, remembering God a lot and memories, everyone has prepared God's forgiveness and a great reward, God does not waste the wages of a male and female workers.

Aesthetic in the roar of the churning sounds in different languages, and sometimes Arabic in which the accent Ajami, each remembers God and presents him a question in his own way, resulting in a wonderful musical symphony.

The aesthetic movement of the tawaf is identical with the circular cosmic motion, starting with the movement of the electron around the nucleus of the atom to the motion of planets and galaxies on the sun.

Aesthetic in the movement of each individual in the end; it forms an integral part of a total circular movement, reminding you of the movement of the bee hive or ants, everyone who has learned its destination and mission, everyone walks and jogs forming a walk and jogging part of the overall circular motion that does not stop only at the five prayers . For all his prayers and praise and question, and God has taught the question of each of them, it is not hidden from the question or pray for any of them, no matter how different languages ​​and proliferated formulas!

In this wonderful harmony and symmetry occasionally appear cacophony manifestations, from time to time strong people appear at first glance on the face of intensity and ruggedness, walking in the opposite direction of the circumnavigation, or penetrate his flowing movement to the Black Stone, to fight a real wrestling battle to reach and kiss him, Uninterested in hurting the weak of sectarians and sects.

They consider the battle for kissing the Black Stone one of the greatest sacrifices; but it is okay: with these manifestations of the cacophony movement, or those redundant jealousy over the symptoms of women, which may cast a shadow on the image; the aesthetic remains dominant as you look at the overall picture from above.

Another aesthetic that emerges from this movement is the nachos that may not be seen with the naked eye. It is the aesthetic of tolerance: the overwhelming majority of sectarians distanced themselves from scrambling or fighting for access to the Black Stone. The greatest believer in God is the sanctity of the Kaaba, and the black stone of the Kaaba is only a small part !! Why is the focus on this small part of the picture sometimes not evoke the overall picture?

It is a profound and accurate hint of aesthetic that does not appear at first sight or the opinion of opinion, meaning that extremism and hyperbole remains a fact that is part of the composition of all human societies, but it is an anomaly of the general rule, and abnormal does not rule, but it proves the rule, and must Tolerance, containment and discharge, and codify its expression, unless it confuses the overall picture.

Didn't my Arab urinate in the mosque of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) when the Sahaabah wanted to rub him away and prevent him from continuing to relieve his congestion? When he finished, he said: Shed on his urine a record of water!

Did not show signs of excessive thought and extremism and the Prophet peace be upon him is still among the Muslims? It also came in the incident of Dhu Al-Khwaisra with the Prophet peace be upon him, who objected to the division of the Prophet peace be upon him and described as unfair. In the correct hadeeth, he came from a man of Bani Tamim, who is said to be Zulkhoisra, and stood on him giving people said to him: O Muhammad, I have seen what you have done on this day. The Messenger of Allah said: peace be upon him: «Yes; how did you see?».

He said: “I did not see you.” He said: “The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was angry, and he said,“ It is rubbing if there is no justice for me, who is it? ”Omar ibn al-Khattab said:“ Should we not kill him? ” As the arrow comes out of the throw, looking at the blade there is nothing, then in the mug there is nothing, and then in the above there is nothing, preceded by blood and blood.

It is the water of tolerance and absorption, and tolerance is like water is purified and purified, and the water if it reached two colts did not defile as the scholars said! The problem is that most of us are not clean water!
