Pakistani Ashiq Hussian Who Designed Doors Of Kaaba Passes Away
Pakistani artisan Muhammad Ashiq Hussain, celebrated for his craftsmanship in designing the iconic central doors of the Kaaba and the revered covering for the Hajar-e-Aswad (the Black Stone), has sadly passed away.
Hailing from Ahmad Pur Sharqia in the Bahawalpur district of Pakistan, Hussain's lineage in craftsmanship was deeply rooted, with his father, Malik Ghulam Qadir, being a skilled goldsmith who once served in the prestigious palace of Nawab Sadiq Muhammad Abbasi of Bahawalpur.
As a testament to his unparalleled contributions, Muhammad Ashiq Hussain humbly requested soil from the Kaaba, symbolizing the culmination of his life's work.
His legacy as a master artisan and his profound impact on the Kaaba's design will be remembered for generations to come.
