EID AL-NUR CANDLE "le ileheh il Allah" - "IT IS NOT GOD UNLESS IT IS THE "ONE" GOD, CREATOR OF ALL THE COSMOS"












THE "BLACK BOX" IS THE SACRED "KABA'A " IT IS AN INNER SHRINE, THAT CONTAINS AUTHENTIC STONES FROM A PRAYER ALTAR BUILT BY THE HANDS OF ABRAHAM, FATHER OF THE ARAB'S PATRIARCH, ISHMAEL, AND HIS YOUNGER BROTHER, ISAAC, THE HEBREW PATRIARCH. THE STORY IS THAT THERE WAS DISPUTE OVER WHO WAS PURE ENOUGH TO CARRY THE TREASURED REMNANTS, INTO THE KABA'A. IT WAS AGREED THAT THE 4 MOST PIOUS ARAB MUSLIMS WOULD EACH TAKE A CORNER OF A BLANKET, AND DEPOSIT THE STONES TOGETHER. THERE ARE OTHER ITEMS OF SACRED PROTECTION IN THE KABA'A AS WELL.
