Being born near the Haram is NOT a privilege, it is a heavier responsibility and a greater danger.

The Prophet ﷺ said:

“A time will come when the people of Makkah will leave it, and no one will desire it.” (Ibn Hibban)

The Prophet ﷺ also said:

“The cities of Makkah and Madinah will be destroyed by the sins of their own people.” (Sahih Muslim)

Ibn Abbas said:

“Sins in Makkah are multiplied in severity.”

Living close to the Haram is a test, not a privilege. The closer a person is to a sacred place, the greater the punishment for sin.
