The Privilege of Makkah and the Sacred Mosque

Makkah has privileges and advantages that other places do not have. It is the only place on the face of this earth that pilgrims go to and circumambulate the Sacred House, regardless of where they live, nearby or faraway from it. Pilgrims enter Makkah in humbleness and devotion, with their heads not covered. They wear the same clothes, the rich cannot be distinguished from the poor, the black stands besides the white, they all seek one thing, the pleasure of the Almighty Allah.

Allah The Elevated made Makkah a safe place. No blood should be shed, no tree should be cut, as Allah says in His Holy Book:

The reward for praying in the Sacred Mosque is equivalent to 100,000 times that for praying elsewhere, as Imam Ahmed, Tirmizi, and Nisa'ii narrated that Abdullah ibn Azubair reported that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "A prayer in my Mosque is better that one thousand prayers elsewhere except in the Sacred Mosque, and a prayer in the Sacred Mosque is better than praying in my Mosque by one hundred times."
