We also visited the museum adjacent to the Kiswah factory, which contains relics that speak of the changes the Haram has undergone throughout time. I pondered on an old wooden door of the Kaa’ba, its simplicity and humbleness, and how the door has become so ornate and elaborate, full of gold and inscriptions.
There are a few crescents from demolished minarets, engraved slabs, a lock and key for the door of the Kaa’ba, and several picture frames illustrating the expansion of the Haram through the years.
Amongst the relics, I fell in love at first sight with a wooden trunk that was part of a pillar of the Kaa’ba and dates back to 65 AH. Enclosed in glass, we are prevented to touch and smell this piece of history, from a time when many of the companions of the prophet (saw) were still alive.
Towards the exit, there was a replica of the original manuscript of the Qur’an. SubhanaAllah!
