Question

Why are non-muslims not allowed in mecca?

Answer 1

non-Muslims are not allowed in Mecca because it is a holy sanctuary. One has to qualify certain requirements to be there and be a believer. Understand it like this: civilians are allowed in cantonment areas or high security areas. You need a certain permit to be there. It’s the same with Mecca. In this case the permit is being a Muslim. Also please note that Mecca as a city has no significance. The only significance is the presence of Kaaba. Mecca and Madinah are cities of great importance in Islamic tradition - centers of pilgrimage and prayer, sacred places where Muslims are free from the distractions of daily life. Restricting access to these holy cities is intended to provide a place of peace and refuge for Muslim believers and preserve the sanctity of the holy cities. At this time, millions of Muslims visit the cities each year, and additional tourist traffic would simply add to the congestion and detract from the spirituality of the pilgrimage visit.

Answer 2

this is their thinking that only their relegion people could enter the mecca.. many conflicts are till now taking place to change this rule... but the Muslims says that its their relegion and no other religion people should be involved and supporting this idea
