The Babi and Baha'i Religion — Page 92
THE B Ā B Ī AND BAH Ā ’ Ī RELIGION 92 is none who can bring about its abrogation or destruction. 22. "Allah had made the Ka‘bah into the inviolable House for the people, destined to endure for ever, as a means of support and uplift for mankind, as also the Sacred Month and the offerings and the animals with collars. That is so that you may know that Allah knows all things well. " 132 In this verse Allah as mentioned the Ka‘bah as the place of pilgrimage for all time to come, and He has referred to it as an argument to establish His own existence, and as a sign of His all embracing knowl- edge, wisdom and power. In other words the Hajj of the Ka‘bah is not to be abolished as long as the world lasts; and when the Islamic Hajj is never to be abolished, it is only too just and natural to conclude that the Sharia in which this Hajj forms one of the main pillars is never to be abolished or replaced with another. 23. "The reckoning of months with Allah has been twelve months by Allah’s ordinance since the day He created the heavens and the earth. Of these four are sacred. That is the right creed. " 133 132 The Qur’an 5:98. 133 The Qur’an 9:36.
