Why does the Mataf area stay surprisingly cool even under the intense heat of Makkah?

The area where Tawaf is performed around the Ka’bah is not built with ordinary flooring. It uses carefully engineered materials and layers designed specifically to reduce heat absorption and maintain comfort for millions of pilgrims.

Key materials and design features:

1. High-Grade White Marble (Thassos Marble)
The surface is made from premium white marble sourced from Thassos Island in Greece. Its dense natural structure allows it to limit heat retention and helps maintain a cooler surface compared to standard stone.

2. Thermal Insulation Layer
Beneath the marble, a specially designed insulation layer blocks heat transfer from the ground below, preventing rising thermal energy from affecting the surface temperature.

3. Reinforced Concrete Foundation
A strong structural base of reinforced concrete supports the massive load of continuous foot traffic, ensuring both durability and stability for millions of pilgrims.

4. Integrated Cooling System
In selected sections, cooling pipes and temperature-control systems are installed underneath the flooring to further regulate surface heat.

Result:

Even when external temperatures exceed 45°C under the harsh desert sun, the Mataf floor often remains noticeably cool to the touch, allowing pilgrims to perform Tawaf with greater ease and comfort.

A remarkable combination of modern engineering and facilitation for worship in the sacred House of Allah.

Michelle Obama once asked her mother why she was holding Barack's hand on election night. Her mother replied, "His father left when he was two. He lost his mother to cancer. He was moments away from becoming the leader of the free world with no parents, so I took his hand."

A remarkable story of forgiveness from Saudi Arabia’s Asir region has touched hearts across the Muslim world.

Sheikh Yahya bin Qans Al-Bashri Al-Qahtani made the extraordinary decision to forgive the man responsible for the death of his son, Bandar - seeking neither blood money nor capital punishment.

His reason was simple yet profound: he learned that the young man was the only son and sole caregiver of his elderly, severely ill mother.

Sheikh Yahya personally visited the family home and announced his pardon in front of the frail mother. Overcome with emotion, she was brought to tears upon hearing that her son had been spared.

The grieving father later declared that he would not accept a single riyal for his son’s murder, saying that he seeks his reward from Allah alone.

May Allah have mercy on Bandar, grant him the highest ranks in Jannah, and abundantly reward Sheikh Yahya for act of forgiveness.

Through this gate, the Messenger of Allah PBUH would enter and exit the Prophet’s Mosque and His noble chambers.

It is also known as the Gate of Aisha RA, as it opened toward the blessed chamber of Aisha bint Abi Bakr RA. This gate is located on the western side of the Prophet’s enclosure.

Reflect and imagine in your heart: the Prophet Muhammad PBUH would enter and leave through this very gate, near those sacred chambers, as part of His daily life in Madinah.

We feel deep love, reverence, and attachment even for these historical traces and blessed landmarks, though they are only places and physical remnants. So what should be the level of our love and devotion for the noble personality PBUH who is the very source and center of this entire sacred history and pure prophetic legacy?
