00:00Imagine one of the most notorious men of the 21st century standing over one of the holiest objects
00:24in Islam. This image alone has stunned people around the world. In the newly unsealed U.S. Department
00:32of Justice documents released in early 2026, a deeply controversial detail has emerged.
00:39Jeffrey Epstein received pieces of the kiswah, the sacred black and gold cloth that covers the
00:46Kaaba in Mecca. The kiswah isn't just fabric, it covers the Kaaba, the direction Muslims face
00:53every day in prayer. Each year it's replaced before Hajj, and the old cloth is cut into fragments
01:00and given only to highly trusted institutions or dignitaries. Many Muslims believe it carries the
01:07prayers, tears, and hopes of millions of pilgrims. But according to emails and shipping records,
01:14three pieces of the kiswah were sent to Epstein in 2017, including a section from the inside of
01:21the Kaaba. The shipment was routed from Saudi Arabia to the U.S., coordinated by Epstein's associates,
01:28and labeled as artwork for customs. One photo from the files has fueled outrage online. It appears to
01:36show Epstein and another man examining a large black and gold embroidered cloth laid out on the floor.
01:42To many viewers, especially Muslims, the image is disturbing, even painful. Social media erupted.
01:50People asked, how did something this sacred reach someone already convicted of sex crimes?
01:56Was it treated with respect or casually handled like decor? Some called it a desecration.
02:03Others called it a betrayal of trust. There's no official evidence showing the cloth was misused,
02:09only that it was shipped, received, and examined. Saudi and UAE authorities have not issued public
02:16statements as of now, but the silence has only deepened the controversy. This isn't just another
02:23Epstein headline. It's about power, access, and how sacred things can end up in the wrong hands.
02:30For many, the image of Epstein with the kiswah symbolizes something far bigger than one man.
02:36A sacred cloth, a disgraced billionaire, and questions that still have no answers.
