MCQ Detailed View

In the Holy Quran, the place known as the Sacred Monument is Hateem, which is a semi-circular area adjacent to the Ka‘bah in Masjid al-Haram, Makkah. It is mentioned in the Quran in Surah Al-Baqarah (2:125) as part of the sacred house of Allah.

Hateem holds special significance because it is part of the original structure of the Ka‘bah built by Prophet Ibrahim (A.S.) and his son Isma‘il (A.S.). The area inside the Ka‘bah today excludes the Hateem, so pilgrims performing Tawaf should ideally pass outside the semi-circular Hateem to follow the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W).

Hateem is not only a historical landmark but also a spiritual space. Prayers and supplications made in its vicinity carry high merit. Pilgrims are encouraged to perform Tawaf around the Ka‘bah while staying mindful of the sacredness of Hateem.
