7. The Kaaba serves a much greater national purpose of the Arabs than that which Jerusalem renders to the Jews or Rome to the Christians (Catholics). It is guardian of the Arab nationalism at the expense of the national conscience of the non-Arab Muslims who believe that they have no individual nationality of their own, and prefer to be called Muslims. Thus the Arabs have achieved the status of a nucleus whereas the non-Arab Muslims have gladly become their satellites in the hope of gaining paradise. It ought to be remembered that the Prophet shall not open the gates of paradise to those Moslems who are not friendly with the Arabs. The Prophet said: a. May Allah humiliate those who seek to humiliate the Quresh (his tribe). Sahih Tirmzi Vol. 2 p.335) b. The Prophet said to Sulaiman Farsee (the Persian Convert), If you bear odium against the Arabs, you bear odium against me. (Sahih Tirmzi Vol.2. p.840)
