In ka'ba we often see a Kiswa (cloth / black quilt cover ka'ba). The purpose of theinstallation of fabric that is to protect the walls of Ka'bah from dirtdustand heat canmake it become damagedIn addition it also serves as a decoration kiswah ka'ba.

Historically, the Kaaba has been given kiswah U.S. since the days of Prophet Ismail,son of Prophet Ibrahim AS. But there is no record that tells the time of the ProphetIsmail kiswa is made of what and what colorThe new King of Himyar during leadership Asad Abu Bakr from Yemenwhich protects the Kaaba kiswa mentionedis made of woven fabric.

In the golden era of Islam, the responsibility of the manufacture and procurementkiswa is always borne by every caliph who were in power in the HijazSaudi Arabiaat any time. Although kiswah always the responsibility of the caliphssome outside the land of the king of Hejaz had presented to the government kiswah Hijaz.


Firstkiswa is made of black silk had come from Egypt where it is taken from thecash kingdom of EgyptThe tradition of sending kiswa of Egypt began in the time ofSultan Suleiman who ruled Egypt in about 950 years-an H until the reign ofMuhammad Ali Pasha in the late 1920s.
Every year, beautiful kiswah kiswah-made ​​in Egypt, was taken to Mecca through the land route to use a litter called mahmal beautiful. Kiswa along with other gifts inmahmal come together with a group of pilgrims from Egypt headed by aCommander of the Hajj.

Amir al-Hajj was appointed officially by the government of the Kingdom of Egypt.From Egypt, after the handover ceremony, which was escorted mahmal Egyptian army left for the Suez Canal with special boat to the port of Jeddah. On arrival in the Hijaz, mahmal is paraded with a very festive ceremony headed to Mecca.

Delivery kiswa of Egypt's never too late until the beginning of the month Dhu al-Hijjah. It happened some time after the outbreak of World War I. Delay in delivery occurs due kiswah unsafe atmosphere and conducive due to World War I.

Seeing the situation is not good at the time, King Ibn Saud (founder of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) took the decision to immediately make itself kiswah given on the 10th of Dhu al-Hijjah, kiswa old should be replaced with a new kiswa. Business is managed by the founding companies located in the village weaving Jiyad, Mecca.

After World War I ended, King Farouq I of Egypt sent back to the land of Hijaz kiswa.But seeing the conditions at that time, the government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia under King Abdul Aziz Bin Saud decided to create his own kiswa factory in 1931 in Makkah. Until finally kiswah made in Saudi Arabia today.

 

 

 

 

 

 


Since 1931, kiswa to cover the Ka'aba is produced in a factory located on the outskirts of MeccaSaudi ArabiaIn the factorythe manufacture of modern kiswahdone by using modern weaving machineIn the area kiswa factory area of ​​10hectares of it employed about 240 craftsmen kiswa.


In the factorykiswa made ​​in bulkThat's where everything is prepared from theplanning, creation of a prototype image of calligraphywashing silk yarnknittingbase fabricyarn manufacture of kilograms of pure gold and silver until the spinningcalligraphy of gold and silver thread, and sewing the end.


Although kiswah appear black when viewed from the outsidebut in fact the inside is white kiswaOne of the phrases listed in spun gold kiswa is kalimah creedAllahJalla JalallahLa ilaha illallahand the Prophet MuhammadSurat Ali Imran96,Al-Baqarah: 144, Al-Fatihah, Surah Al-Ikhlash Terpintal beautifully in gold thread todecorate kiswa.


Calligraphy is used to decorate kiswa consists of verses related to Hajj and Ka'abaalso asthma-asthma glorified GodCalligraphy ornaments made ​​of gold and silverglistened beautifully when exposed to sunlight.


Because it uses raw materials from objects that are very valuable as silkgoldorsilver, price is becoming very expensive kiswah around Rp 50 billion.


So every year Waqf Bureau Kingdom of Saudi Arabia should provide funding of about Rp 50 billion for the manufacture kiswaAccording to historytradition kiswahreplacement performed each year has been around since the time of Caliphal-Mahdi who is the ruler of the Abbasid Dynasty IV.
The tradition began when the Caliph al-Mahdi guards Kaaba pilgrimage then report back to him about kiswa which at that time already fragile and feared to fallHeard reports of concern that, al-Mahdi ordered that every year kiswah replaced.


Since thenkiswa to Kaaba always be replaced every year on the pilgrimage season and became a tradition that should always be runThus there is no longer acondition kiswah concern.


Because, every kiswah only have the Kaaba during the lifetime of one yearIn fact,the former used the Kaaba kiswa there are cut into pieces and then sold the piecesto decorate your home or office.
