Rukn al-Hajar al-Aswad is the southeast corner of the Ka'ba building. The structure of the Ka'ba is quadrangular, and each corner is called a rukn, and the sum of the four corners is referred to as the pillars of the Ka'ba. Hajar al-Aswad pillar, which is located in the southeast of the Ka'ba, is the starting point of the tawaf, and at a height of one and a half meters, the Black Stone (Hajar al-Aswad) is situated there. Therefore, it is known as Rukn Hajar al-Aswad or Rukn al-Aswad.

Location

Rukn al-Hajar al-Aswad is located in the southeast of the Ka'ba and is the starting point of the tawaf.[1] At a height of one and a half meters, the Black Stone (Hajar al-Aswad) is located.[2] Rukn al-Hajar al-Aswad is more famous than the other pillars of the Ka'ba. This pillar is the closest to the entrance door of the Ka'ba and is located opposite the Zamzam well. Facing the Hajar al-Aswad pillar is the well-known Mount Abu Qubays.[3] "The distance from Rukn al-Hajar al-Aswad to rukn al-Iraqi is 11.68 meters, and to rukn Yamani is more than 10 meters.[4] Hajar al-Aswad pillar is in the direction of the qibla for the southern regions of Hijaz and the countries of Australia, India, and China, which are aligned with this pillar.[5]

Other Names

Some refer to the Rukn al-Hajar al-Aswad as the Eastern pillar (Rukn al-Sharqi).[6] At times, both Rukn al-Hajar al-Aswad and rukn al-Yamani are referred to as rukn Yamani due to their location in the direction of Yemeni territory.[7] The term 'Rukn' alone is frequently used to refer to Rukn al-Hajar al-Aswad, and in many contexts, 'Rukn' (pillar) essentially means the Black Stone.[8]

Istilām

Istilām"(Ar: استلام) refers to touching and laying hands on something. The Prophet Muhammad (s) paid special attention to both Rukn al-Hajar al-Aswad and rukn al-Yamani, advising his companions to respect them and perform their specific rituals and acts. He considered touching them (Istilam) a means for the forgiveness of sins.[9] "In some Sunni sources, the practice of touching Rukn al-Hajar al-Aswad is considered recommended (mustahabb).[10] "Additionally, a number of Shia jurists, based on narrations, have considered touching Rukn al-Hajar al-Aswad and the other pillars to be recommended.[11]

Prayers of the Prophet

According to sources, the Prophet (s) would whisper or recommend certain prayers between Rukn Hajar al-Aswad and Rukn Yamani, such as: " الّلهم ربّنا آتنا فی الدنیا حسنة و فی الآخرة حسنة و قنا عذاب النار و یا الّلهم إنّی أعوذ بک من الکفر و الفقر O Allah, our Lord, give us good in this world and good in the Hereafter, and save us from the punishment of the Fire" and "O Allah, I seek refuge in You from disbelief and poverty.[12] "Also, numerous prayers and invocations from the Prophet (s) and his companions have been mentioned during the performance of the Rukn (pillar), such as:

  • بسم الله و الله اکبر In the name of Allah, and Allah is the greatest.[13]
  • بسم اللّه و اللّه اکبر علی ما هدانا اللّه، لا اله الا اللّه وحده لا شریک له، آمنت بالله و کفرت بالطاغوت In the name of Allah, and Allah is the greatest; upon what Allah has guided us. There is no god but Allah, He alone, without partner. I believe in Allah and disbelieve in the Taghut.[14]
  • باسم اللّه و اللّه أکبر إیمانا باللّه و تصدیقا لإجابة محمد صلی اللّه علیه و سلم In the name of Allah, and Allah is the greatest, in faith in Allah and affirming the response of Muhammad, peace be upon him.[15]
