Which is better – the Ka’bah or the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)?

Which is better – the Ka’bah or the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)?

Is the Ka’bah better or the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)?.

 

Praise be to Allaah.

we have explained that many scholars regard the Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) as the best of creation, and in
their discussion they also said that he is better than the Ka’bah.  

This preference applies
only to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)
himself, not to the grave in which he is buried. 

Shaykh al-Islam (may Allaah
have mercy on him) was asked about two men who were disputing. One of them
said that the soil of the grave of Muhammad (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) is better than the heavens and the earth. The other
said: The Ka’bah is better. Who is right? 

He replied: Praise be to
Allaah. As for Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)
himself, Allaah has not created anything nobler than him. As for the soil
(of the grave), it is not better than the Ka’bah, the sacred House, rather
the Ka’bah is better than it, and none of the scholars suggested that the
soil of the grave is better than the Ka’bah apart from al-Qaadi ‘Iyaad. No
one said that before him and no one else agreed with him afterwards. And
Allaah knows best.  

Al-Fataawa al-Kubra
(4/411) and Majmoo’ al-Fataawa (27/38). 

And Allaah knows best.

Islam Q&A

Following note from Learning Quran online Blog 

 

Learn holy Quran online which it self states in it that only those who are learn quran and pure should touch the holy text: This is indeed a Quran in Arabic in a book well-guarded, which none shall touch but those who are clean (56:77-79).  One should make formal ablutions before handling or Quran reading and this the quran tutor should tell in his quran teaching when quran for kids lessons are going on. After intercourse or menstrual bleeding one should not touch the holy Quran or do quran recitation and also not do quran memorization until after bathing non-Muslim should not handle the sacred text, but may listen to Quran online or read quran translation or exegesis. With all these things in mind when one is not reading or reciting holy Quran it should be closed and stored in nice and clean place, it should never be placed on floor or in a bathroom and Muslim should focus on reading quran the tajweed quran and its rules with a proper institute.
