  1. I strongly urge Muslim around the world; Please do not kiss the black stone (Ka’abah) and Aswad-stone, you will be fall into sinful Syrik, the biggest sin in Islam. Allah has warned His People; Worship Allah, and do not associate with Him anything,( stone ).QS 4:36-48. Do not believe in Imam, leaders beside Allah or Al Quran. As Allah warned;

    and They have taken their imams , Clerics and their monks as gods beside Allah,QS 9;31.

    There is no a verse that say; kiss the Ka’abah and Aswad Stone in Al Quran.

    Ibn ‘Abbaas said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The Black Stone came down from Paradise.”

    A fairy tales of ancient times, from primitive scholars or imam, lack of knowledge.

    Islam is religion of logic. Do not believe what Ibn Abbas wrote . It is illogical to believe in someone you never know him. Nauzubilah

    Islam is religion of logical and scientifical .
    THE WORD OF WISDOM OF ALMIGHTY ISLAM;
    And He will put the wrath on those who do not understand.. QS 10: (100).And such are the Parables We set forth for mankind, but only those understand them who have Knowledge. . QS 29:(43).

    It is illogical act at all, if Muslims kiss a stone?? Whatever stone is. Stone is stone, just like people who live in jungle , primitive people, who has not lack of knowledge, they kiss stone or tree etc.

    I advise you all, you must avoid from sinful syirik or hell it’s better not to kiss it…you will not lost anything at all.

    I urge Dr zakir Naik to tell Muslims around the world; NOT to kiss the Black Stone of Ka’a bah and Aswad; Islam is religion of scientific and logic.

    Was Salam–With love
