His Eminence Sheikh Abdul-Bari ibn Awwad Ath-Thubaiti, may Allah preserve him, delivered the Friday khutbah entitled, “Longing for the Sacred Sites”, in which he talked about Allah’s Sacred House (the Ka‘bah in Makkah) and its virtues. He also urged Muslims to perform pilgrimage (hajj), shedding some light on its virtues as mentioned in the Qur’an and the Sunnah.
