The House of God is Full of Blessings and Guidance

In the verse (3:96), God says: “Verily, the first house set up for mankind is at Bakkah (Makkah), blessed and a guidance for the entire people of the world.” In this blessed verse, there are many wisdom-filled allusions. 

 

The third allusion is that one of the meanings of the suggestive recitation of “Bakkah” is giryah-u zari, weeping and shedding tears. So its ta’willic implication is that the first house of spirituality is built for people from the shining tears of love of Mawla, which for the lovers of Mowla, is full of blessings and guidance.

The fourth allusion is that the Ka’bah, the Imam and the Jama’at-khanah are the House of God on one hand, and on the other hand, they are also the religious houses of the people, because blessings and guidance which are in these houses are for the sake of people, and their attribution to God is due to their being His special possessions.” (Source: Fruit of Paradise, page 122)
