  • Can Any Object Be Treated Symbolically Like The Black Stone?

    Muslims say the Black Stone is just symbolic and not worshipped. If that’s the case, could someone else pick any other rock or object and treat it symbolically in the same way? Would that be seen as the same thing?

    The matters of worship are not arbitrary. God has prescribed certain ways of worship. We have God’s certification to kiss a particular stone to indicate one’s pledge of alligience with God.

    Shirk is condemned because its rituals are assumed without any validation from God.
