The Blackstone Grafted Poem by Mohammad Younus

The Blackstone Grafted



The Blackstone grafted,
In the wall of Sacred Kaaba
We don't worship it,
It is just a stone -
Not more than that,
Not less than that,
We don't adore it besides Allah,
We kiss it and remember,
Prophet Abraham: our father,
Who opposed pagan religion,
Who worshipped not stone-made deities,
This is just our symbol of monotheism,
Religion taught by Abraham,
Otherwise, not at all sacred

According to legend, kissing the stone endows the kisser with the gift of the gab. The stone was set into a tower of the castle in 1446" " Some say it was Jacob's Pillow, brought to Ireland by the prophet Jeremiah" bri ;)
