So after the greatest test
Ibrahim (Pbuh) left once again for the Holy land
But later returned to Makkah
To build the Ka’ba with Ishmail’s (Pbuh) helping hand

Ibrahim made a prayer to Allaah (Ta'ala)
To make the region a place for security
Since then Allaah kept the promise
Even when safety was compromised by the enemy
(During the year of the Elephant)

To fit a corner piece of the Ka’ba
Ishmael was told to go & find a suitable stone on his own
But Angel Gibreel brought one (from the heavens)
And placed it at the corner, known as the Black Stone

Thus Allaah made the Ka’ba
A place for resort, sanctuary & for us a unity
Around the globe the Muslims face it
When bowing in prostration to Al-Mighty!

Another request Ibrahim prayed for
Whilst building the foundations of Ka’ba,
Is that Allaah raises a Messenger (Pbuh) amongst them
With the knowledge and the Book (Qur’an) of Wisdom!
