Holy Kaaba

A lot of us have resorted to cleaning to fill our time amid the Coronavirus lockdown. Looks like the authorities in charge of the two holy mosques in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia are doing that too, with having the Holy Kaaba sterilized.

The General Presidency for the Affairs of the Two Holy Mosques is looking after this. The authorities have completed the cleaning and sterilization work of the ‘kiswa‘ (cover) and the surface of the Holy Kaaba in Makkah.

Although it looks like the Kaaba is sterile and spotless just in time for Ramzan, there will be no prayers at the grand mosque for the foreseeable future.

The Saudi Grand Mufti has already directed people to pray at homes if it’s too difficult to organize congregational Tarawih prayers while following COVID-19 precautions. Same goes for Eid prayers.
