"Facing the Kaaba" and "A Night in the Cave of Hira" A Comparative Rewire

(عشق رسولﷺ کے حوالے سے)’’منہ ول کعبے شریف‘‘ اور ’’غارِ حرا میں ایک رات‘‘ کا تقابلی جائزہ

Abstract

"Facing the Kaaba" The author’s face was constantly turned toward the Kaaba. His gaze remained directed straight ahead. However, he did not overlook other scenes within his line of sight. Hence, in this work, there are sights of the "inner world." There are expressions of passion and fervor, manifestations of spiritual ecstasy, visits to sacred places, faith-inspiring events from history, and reflections of divine light and radiance. In his travelogue "A Night in the Cave of Hira," Mustansar Hussain Tarar writes, "When I was awarded the international prize in Qatar, my first thought was neither of the honor nor of the prize money. This award was merely an excuse. I began to talk day and night about reaching the Cave of Hira with Maimoona, not just to offer two rak'ahs of prayer there but to spend some time there as well." Mustansar Hussain Tarar has referred to "Hajj" as "Hajira."
