Makkah al-Mukarramah

It is said in the traditions, “ Circumambulate this House frequently before it is removed, for it has been destroyed on two occasions and on the third occasion will be removed.” And it is related with the authority of Ali, may God be pleased with him, that the Prophet (s.a.w) said, “ God most High said, ‘If I intend to destroy the world I would begin with My House; first I would destroy it and then I would destroy the world after it’.”
