QSI: "The Significance of The Ritual of Salat: Why We Turn Toward the Ka'aba" 6

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Messenger (?) said, "My similitude in comparison with the other prophets before me, is that of a man who has built a house nicely and beautifully, except for a place of one brick in a corner. The people go about it and wonder at its beauty, but say: 'Would that this brick be put in its place!' So, I am that brick, and I am the last of the Prophets."

So, the Brick is the “Science of the original nature as the cornerstone for society”. That was realized in the existence of Prophet Muhammad(pbuh)

A man = Abraham [and Isma’il; Rationally and Spiritually Developed Man]

Built a Building = The Kaaba [The perfection of the plan of Allah for humanity and Society.]

Perfect but for one Brick = Historic line of Revelation/Prophets fostering the sacred destiny of the human individual and Society.

I am that brick = Qur’an, Muhammed(pbuh) and Al-Islam are the manifested perfection of the plan of Allah for humanity and Society.

Historically, Muhammad is the man who placed the last brick. He placed the Black Stone in the rebuilding of the Kaaba and in fulfillment of previous Scripture = “The Stone that the builders rejected has become the head of the corner.”)

The Brick that was placed was/is Adam.
