“The first [Sacred] House that was dedicated for people [to worship their Lord] is that one in Bacca, and which is full of blessings and guidance for all mankind. In it are manifest signs, including the station where Abraham stood, and whoever enters it is safe;– and [in that regard,] Allah has made the pilgrimage to the House obligatory for those who can have the means and access to reach it, and whoever still disbelieve [in this Message], then Allah has no need of anyone. “﴾Quran 3:96-97﴿ وَلِلَّهِ عَلَى النَّاسِ حِجُّ الْبَيْتِ مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ إِلَيْهِ سَبِيلًا Friday Khutba sermon delivered September 11th, 2015 at Masjidun-Noor, the 27th of Zil-Qi’da 1436 Hijri.
