Why Black Stone Is Being Protected By 24 Guards?

Black Stone is one of the things which holds very high importance in the religion of Islam, it is located at the eastern corner of the Holy Kaaba, and it is always guarded by security guards.

This is to add to your knowledge that it was once got stolen and then later discovered. Since then, the Saudi government has put some security personnel to protect it because it’s a stone from heaven.

So this is one of the most interesting things that the Saudi government has assigned 24 security guards and they come each day and night in all-around 24 hours to protect the black stone.

Whenever a single guard comes to protect Stone. His duty also includes actively looking at what’s happening in the surroundings for an hour. Moreover, the duty of these guards includes, if a pilgrim or a visitor faints because of excessive heat or something else so they are there to rescue them.
