Ghilaf-e-Kaaba (Kiswah) change - Full Video

The beginning of the Muslim New Year brings with it the sacred tradition of changing of the Kiswa (Ghilaf-e-Kaaba). What used to took place on 9th Dhul-Hijjah in the past has been moved to 1st Muharram in recent years. The new Kiswa, carefully prepared during the past year by expert craftsmen, is brought in with care and devotion as pilgrims gather around it to witness a rare sight that can only be beheld once every the muslim year. #kaaba #ghilafekaba #kiswah #kiswa #masjidalharam #makkah
