Question
Extensive construction work which is eliminating all the holy landmarks of Makkah is in progress. The Holy Ka'bah is overshadowed by western-style skyscrapers. What is the view of the Shariah regarding all of this massive works of construction taking place?
Answer
About the only sign and relic of Islam which still endures in Makkah Mukarramah is the Holy Ka'bah. Everything else about Islam has already been demolished and eradicated. One of the Signs of Qiyaamah is the flattening of Makkah Mukarramah. Giving effect to this Sign of Qiyaamah has fallen to the lot of the Saudi regime. Regarding the haraam buildings which the Saudis are constructing, the Qur'aan states: "What! Are you constructing on every height a monument to play with? You construct palaces as if you are going to live forever (in this world)." Original Makkah has already been crudely flattened, demolished and eradicated by the Saudi regime. The Saudi objective is to convert Makkah Mukarramah into a holiday resort, Paris-style. They will continue with their ignominy until the Divine Whip strikes them down with lightning swiftness. No power can endure for ever. The Qur'aan says that every reign has its appointed time. When the moment of destruction and punishment arrives, there will not be a respite of even a moment.
