Mecca now! The Kaaba may not stand! There was no such Storm for 120 years!

In an extraordinary meteorological event, a severe storm hit Mecca yesterday, bringing with it unprecedented heavy rain and powerful winds. This rare weather phenomenon, which caught the city by surprise, resulted in widespread concern, particularly regarding the safety of the Kaaba, Islam’s most sacred site. The storm, which lasted several hours, brought life in Mecca to a standstill. Streets were flooded, and transportation was severely disrupted. Local authorities issued warnings, urging residents and pilgrims to take shelter and avoid unnecessary travel. Despite the intensity of the storm, the Kaaba, located at the heart of the Masjid al-Haram mosque, remained unscathed. This remarkable resilience is a testament to its robust construction and the meticulous care with which it is maintained. Eyewitnesses reported scenes of awe as sheets of rain enveloped the mosque’s grand architecture, with many expressing a sense of spiritual upliftment at the sight of the Kaaba standing firm amidst the tempest. “It was a powerful moment, seeing the Kaaba enduring the storm. It felt like a symbol of steadfast faith,“ said one pilgrim, who had travelled from Indonesia. Emergency services were on high alert, with teams deployed across the city to assist those affected by the storm. Temporary shelters were set up to accommodate displaced residents and pilgrims. Authorities also ensured the safety and structural integrity of the Masjid al-Haram and the surrounding areas.
