The Black Stone, better known as "Hajr-e-Aswad" is the stone placed in the corner of Kaa'batullaah. This stone was laid in its place by Rasoolullaah (saws).

There are four stones which does not belong to earth namely, the black stone, the stone of Maqaam-e-Ibraahim (the place where Maulaana Ibraahim (as) stood and built Kaa'ba), the stone in the Jerusalem from which Rasoolullaah (saws) went on Me'raaj and lastly the stone of Maulaana Moosa (as) from which 12 streams of water originated. These four stones are meteorites.

If Kaabatullaah is the Imaam then Hajr-e-Aswad is in the place of Hujjat. The Tawaaf (circumambulation) is void if Hajr-e-Aswad is not kissed at its end. If touching or kissing the stone is not possible at the end of Tawaaf then one should say salaam to it, only then his tawaaf is valid.
