The lovely masterpiece and the noble brief history and rulings of the Masjid al-Haram and the Noble Kaaba

Preparation by Saad Shaim Al-Anzim Introduction Praise be to Allah, we praise Him and seek His help and forgiveness. We seek refuge in Allah from the evil of ourselves and the bad of our deeds. Whom Allah guides, there is none to misguide him, and whom He misguides, there is none to guide him. I bear witness that there is no deity but Allah alone, with no partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger. May Allah's peace and blessings be upon him, his family, and his companions, and may He grant them abundant peace. As for what follows, this is a book I compiled on the history of the Two Holy Mosques and the rulings regarding entering and sitting in them, as well as the manners that a Muslim should observe when visiting, entering, or sitting in them. I named it: The Gentle Gift and the Noble Summary of the History and Rulings of the Sacred Mosque and the Noble City. Only Allah I ask for success and guidance, and that He makes it sincere and accepted for Him, and benefits from it. Indeed, He is the Generous, Noble. I arranged it into three chapters, and beneath each chapter are sections, discussions, topics, issues, branches, and points. I ask Allah for success and guidance; He is the Generous, Noble.
