《The Cult Of Dhul Khalasah》

Dhul Khalasah, a filthy shrine in Yemen that was dedicated to the worship of Taghut. The shrine was to rival the true Kabbah in Mecca, and it was known as the Ka’bat al-Yamaniyah (the Yemenite “Ka’ba). The Prophet (peace be upon him) sent his... ImageImage
Companion Jarir ibn Abdullah (Allah be pleased with him) with men from the noble tribe of Ahmas to destroy the idol. They destroyed it and burnt it to ashes and the Prophet (peace be upon him) invoked blessings of Allah upon them five times for this great action.
But the Prophet (peace be upon him) knew that one day the cult of Dhul Khalasah would be revived-

“The Hour will not be established until the buttocks of the women of Daws (a tribe) move while going round Dhul Khalasah.”

[Sahih al-Bukhari; Kitab al-Fitan]

In 1800s...
The Mushrikeen returned to the shrine. And it was destroyed once again by Imam Abdullah Ibn Saud and his men May Allah have mercy upon them.

Arab Christian Professor Salibi writes-

“the early seventh century, the worship of Dhu Khulasah was popular in some Arab regions; its
principal sanctuary was somewhere south of Mecca – the famous al-Ka’bah al-Yamaniyah (the ‘Southern Kaaba’), rivalling that of Mecca, and believed to have been located in Tubalah, in inland Asir. After the triumph of Islam, Muhammad, we are told, sent a party of his followers to
destroy the idol of Dhu Khulasah which stood there – a sculpture of white stone depicting a phallus topped by a crown. The cult of Dhu Khulasah, however, was subsequently resurrected in the region, where it survived until 1815. In that year, the Wahhabis organized a special
military campaign to suppress remnants of pagan worship in different parts of Asir, and the reconstructed idol of Dhu Khulasah in his original Kaaba of Tubalah was destroyed by gunfire.”

[Who was Jesus?A Conspiracy in Jerusalem, 146]

But it returned once again....
When the Arabian Peninsula was destabilized by the enemies of the Dawah to Tawheed this cult returned to worshipping the idol.

Soon after the Muwahideen gained power back and ruled the region, in 1915 Imam Abdul Aziz ibn Saud sent men to destroy another reconstruction of this
Shrine.
One of the men who undertook this campaign said the blocks of the shrine were very heavy and it took alot of men to complete the task.
