Recently released documents have claimed that Jeffrey Epstein received three pieces of the sacred Kiswa, the cloth covering the Holy Kaaba in Makkah, through contacts linked to the United Arab Emirates, raising serious religious and ethical questions.
According to the documents, a series of emails dated February and March 2017 detail how the sacred cloth was shipped from Saudi Arabia to the United States and ultimately delivered to Epstein in Florida. The correspondence reportedly involves an Emirati businesswoman, Aziza al-Ahmadi, who coordinated the transfer with a man identified as Abdullah al-Maari.
The emails discuss logistical arrangements for sending three pieces of the Kiswa, the black cloth embroidered with gold Quranic verses that covers the Holy Kaaba and is regarded by Muslims worldwide as one of Islam’s most revered relics. The cloth is replaced annually, and portions of the old Kiswa are traditionally preserved and treated with deep religious respect.
According to the correspondence, the shipment was transported by air via British Airways, with detailed discussions covering billing procedures, customs clearance, and final delivery within the United States. Records cited in the files indicate that the items were delivered to Epstein’s residence in March 2017, years after he had served a jail sentence and while he was listed as a registered sex offender.
In one email reportedly addressed directly to Epstein, Ahmadi emphasized the spiritual significance of the cloth, writing that the black piece had been touched by “a minimum of 10 million Muslims of different denominations, Sunni, Shia and others.” She further described how pilgrims circle the Kaaba seven times and attempt to touch the Kiswa, leaving behind “their prayers, wishes, tears and hopes on this piece.”
The documents do not explain how Ahmadi became acquainted with Epstein, nor do they clarify the purpose behind sending such highly sacred Islamic relics to him. The revelations have sparked widespread concern online, with many questioning how the items were removed from Saudi Arabia and transferred internationally.
No official response has yet been issued by Saudi, Emirati, or US authorities regarding the authenticity of the claims or the circumstances surrounding the shipment, as the disclosures continue to draw global attention.
