Mekka is the center of the universe
By: Magdy Abd Al-Shafy
Mekka is the first place created
Mekka, also Baca , where Muslims do their Hajj is proved to be the first land created. It is scientifically established that the globe in the beginning was completely submerged in water( a huge ocean), later volcanoes in the bottom of this ocean erupted violently sending out huge amounts of lave and magma forming "a hill", and this hill was the land which God ordered to be floor of the Kabba (kiblah),the basalt stones from Mekka were proved to be the most ancient stones in the earth by a scientific study ,
If so, this means that God must have extended land from this place. So this is the oldest place in the world.
Is there any prophetic hadith denote this staggering fact? The answer is plain "yes".
The prophet says" The Kabba was a piece of land over water, from which the land was extended." And this is supported by the already mentioned fact.
Being the first place created is, no doubts, adds to the spirituality of the place. Also, who told the prophet that the land was in the yore of time was submerged in water and who told him that Kabba was the first place to be built on this piece of land as supported by the study of the basalt rocks in Mekka?
Mekka is the center of the world
Professor Hussin Kamel stumbled over a staggering fact that Mekka is the center of the world. He was in search of a way of determining the direction of the kiblah in the major cities of the world.
To achieve this goal, he drew a chart and, having drawn the continents taking into consideration the locations of the seven continents to Mekka and their distances , he started to draw the equal lines just to facilitate how to project the longitudes and the latitudes lines.
After two years of arduous toiling work aided by highly advanced complicated computer programmes to determine the correct distances and the different variations and many other necessary things, he, to his amazement, discovered that Mekka is the center of the earth; he realized that it is possible to draw a circle with Mekka centered in it and the circle's borders will be outside the continents and in the same time its circumference moves with the external circumference of the continents ( Al-Arabi agazine,number237, August 1978).
Satellite's Pictures, later in the nineties of the 20th century , emphasized the same result when further studies concerning the topography of the earth's layers and the geography of the land were made.
It is scientifically established that the earth plates , through the long geological age , have been moving regularly around the Arabian plate ;these plates constantly converge towards it as if they pointed to it. This scientific study was done for different purpose; it wasn't meant to prove that Mekka is the center of the earth but, anyhow, this study was published in many scientific magazine in the west. For further reading concerning plate tectonic concerning the center of the earth, read the article here:

God says in the Holy Quran what means:
And this is a Book which We have sent down, bringing blessings, and confirming (the revelations) which came before it: that thou mayest warn the mother of cities and all around her...(92)
These few words" the mother of cities and all around her...(92)" mean that Mekka is center and the other cities are just around her. Moreover, the Arabic word" Um, which means "mother" has a significant meanings in the Islamic culture; as " a mother" is the source of the progeny, Mekka is also is the source of all the other land as already shown in the beginning of this study. Also, the word" Mother" gives Mekka the primacy over all the other cities.
Mekka or Greenish mean time?
Taken into consideration that Mekka is in the middle of the earth as supported by geological studies and pictures from satellites , it is now strongly believed that holy city, not Greenwich, should become the reference point for world time, reigniting an old controversy that started some four decades ago. There is a plethora of scientific evidence to prove that Mecca was the core of that zero longitude passes through the holy city and not through Greenwich in the UK. " GMT" was imposed on the world in the time when most of the world lands were under the British conquer. If Mekka's time put into effect, it will be easy for anyone to know the times of prayers. So, Mekka, the Holy ,hould have its primacy over any other city in the world.
Mekka is the center of the heavens
There are some verses and prophetic hadith that implies this fact; God says: "O' Company of jinn and men, if you are able to pierce through the confines of the heavens and earth, pierce through them. You will not pierce through except with a clear authority. (Qur'an, 55:33)
The Arabic word translated as "confines" in the above verse is "aqtar." This is the plural form of the word "qutr," meaning diameter and refers to the skies and the Earth having many diameters.
It can be understood from this verse and from some hadiths that diameters of the heavens are above the diameters of the earth( the seven plates of the earth), and if Mekka is in the middle of the earth , this means that Mekka is also in the middle of the heavens.
Also, the hadith says the Holy Mosque in Mekka, where the Kabba is, is in the middle of the seven heavens and the seven earths( meaning the seven known layers forming the earth)
Also the prophet says "O' people of Mekka, O' Kruish( his tribe) you are under the middle of the heavens."
Mekka is the center where the radiation of the universe converges
It has been proven that Mekka is the center of the universe and research followed and to the amazement of the scientists, Mekka has been found to be the center where the magnetic attraction converge and this explains why every one visits mekka is always affectionately attracted to it
Robert Coleman , an American prominent scientists, conducted successive experiments in his lab, he did some experiment on the center of magnetic gravitational source of the earth and the meeting point of the universal radiation , he found that these all meet in one point on the surface of the earth and when he searched for its geographical location, he found that it is Mekka. He did his study for sheer scientific goals. So, Mekka is the center of the seven continents and it is also the center where the magnetic attraction radiation meet.
The Quranic description of Mekka as " Uma al-koura"meaning the mother of the all cities" adds more spiritual meanings to Mekka; the word" mother" also means heart, the middle, the most important and the source.
Mekka, the safe and well-secured city
Mekka is surrounded by tall mountains that lessen the impact of the earthquakes that rarely could happen there, also the huge temperature in this area keeps the rocks under the crust in sticky state, this also helps so much in lessening the impact of any earthquakes if ever happens.
So God swear by Mekka calling her the secure city . Allah says: "I swear by the fig and the olive, (1) And mount Sinai, (2) And this city made secure
