Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan delves into Ayat 127 of Surah Al Baqarah. Here what is discussed is the actual building of the Ka'bah and there is something more going on than just mere building of the Ka'bah.
The foundations of the House of Allah was always there even before Ibrahim AS was assigned the task of building the walls of the Ka'bah. The meaning of the word - Qawaid - is illustrated beautifully and makes for an interesting and comprehensive listening.
"Our Lord, accept [this] from us. Indeed, You are the Hearing, the Knowing.”
This Dua is the spiritual foundation of our faith. Imperfections is what we are and yet we want Allah to accept all our shortcomings which demonstrates our humility and hence, we ask Allah the highest degree of acceptance despite our misdeeds and sins. We implore Allah to listen to our pleas whatever state we may be in.
