eleven different names




Balad al kameen photos - Mintaqat Makkah


Makkah is the place which captures the hearts of a billion Moslems all over the globe. It is the place where God's will was revealed to Mohammed, (peace be upon him), and it is now the location of the Holy Mosque and the sacred Ka'abah. It is also the destination of millions of pilgrims and visitors and the holiest spot on earth.

God has honoured it in His Holy Book, in which it is given eleven different names, including: Makkah, Bakkah, AL-Balad AL-Aamin, AL-Balad AL-Ameen, AL-Haram AL-Aamin and Um-AL-Qura. God also refers to Makkah in several verses of the Holy Koran using other names, and has sworn on its name, thus giving it a unique status unrivalled by any other city in the world.
