The Quest for Thassos Marble [0:00]

The story begins with the expansion project of the Haram al-Makki al-Sharif, where the Egyptian engineer Muhammad Kamal Ismail considered installing a cooling system under the marble. However, he learned about a rare marble called Thassos, found only in the mountains of a Greek island, which reflects light and heat. Ismail traveled to Greece and secured enough of the white marble for the Haram in Mecca.

A Second Request and a Daunting Challenge [0:39]

Fifteen years later, the Saudi government requested that the same marble be used in the Haram al-Nabawi al-Sharif in Medina. Ismail was worried because the marble was scarce, and he had already bought half of the available quantity from the Greek company. He feared that the remaining amount had been sold.

The Last Hope in Greece [1:05]

Ismail returned to the Greek company and asked about the remaining marble. The president of the company informed him that it had been sold immediately after his initial purchase. Devastated, Ismail inquired with the secretary, who eventually provided him with the buyer's address after some difficulty.

A Saudi Connection and a Miraculous Discovery [1:50]

To Ismail's surprise, the buyer was a Saudi company. He immediately flew to Saudi Arabia and visited the company, asking the manager about the marble purchased years ago. The manager checked with the warehouses and discovered that the entire quantity of Greek white marble was still in storage.

Tears of Joy and a Generous Donation [2:17]

Overwhelmed with emotion, Ismail wept with joy. He explained the situation to the company owner and offered a blank check for the marble. However, upon learning that the marble was for the Haram al-Nabawi, the owner refused any payment and donated the entire quantity for the sake of God. The marble, once nearly impossible to find, was now available for its intended purpose, making it exclusive to the two holy sites.
