Answer:
Guru Nanak Kaabah story
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask
for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever
He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there
is no one (no idol, no person, no grave,
no prophet, no imam, no dai,
nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that
Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
Beloved Brother in Islam, in all matters of the ‘unseen’
or of any ‘miracles’, the believers are to believe with certainty only if it is
confirmed either by our Lord Most Majestic in His Glorious Quran or by the
authentic Sunnah of the Noble Messenger of Allah (saws).
If anyone else claims to have performed or witnessed a
‘miracle’ which is not confirmed by the Quran or the Sunnah, the believers can
neither confirm it with certainty, nor deny it. Intelligence, Wisdom, Justice, and even
basic common-sense dictates that the onus of proving or providing evidence for a
claim should always be on the ones claiming that an ‘out-of-the-ordinary’ event
or a ‘miracle’ supposedly took place, never on the ones who hear it!!!
Allah is our witness, the Sacred House of Allah never ever
changed its position for such Noble Messengers of the likes of the Choicest
Friend of Allah, Prophet Ibraheem (a.s.) or even the Last and Final Messenger
of Allah, Prophet Mohamed ar-Rasool Allah (a.s.); and someone expects the
believers to believe that this Blessed and Sacred House of Allah changed its
position for a person who openly professes disbelief in Allah, His Messengers,
and the Last Day??? Some people who have
not been bestowed with honor by the Lord Most Gracious, try to bestow honor
upon themselves by trying to belittle the sacred things which are held in
Honor, so that some of its ‘greatness’ and ‘honor’ might shine upon them…..but
who is there who can bestow honor on someone when Allah does not Will to bestow
honor upon them?
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 22 Surah
Hajj verse 18: Seest thou not that to Allah bow down in
worship all things that are in the heavens and on earth, the sun, the moon, the
stars, the hills, the trees, the animals, and a great number among mankind? But a great number are (also) such as are fit
for Punishment: and such as Allah shall disgrace none can rise to honor: for
Allah carries out all that He Wills.
Your Question: Could you please confirm or provide a
source that verifies whether this story is true or not.
Beloved brother, any ‘out-of-the-ordinary’ event or a ‘miracle’ which is
claimed by anyone and not confirmed by either the Quran or the Sunnah cannot be
believed with conviction by those who sincerely believe in Allah and the Last
Day; regardless of where, how, and when the event being claimed took place or
what source confirmed or denied it!
Unconditional belief is due from the believers only to the Truth of the
Quran and the authentic Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (saws).
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 17 Surah
Bani Israel verse 81: And declare, “The Truth has come and falsehood has
vanished. And falsehood is a thing that
must by its nature, vanish!”
If one trusts,
obeys, and follows the guidance
and commands of Allah and His Messenger (saws), he can be assured of never ever being
misled; but if one believes, obeys and follows any other guidance, other than that of Allah and His Messenger
(saws), he can be assured of being led
astray.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to
Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only
Source of Strength.
Your Brother in Islam,
Burhan
