Epstein files show Kaaba cloth pieces from Mecca shipped to him via UAE-linked contacts

Sacred cloth that covers shrine in Saudi Arabia reached the convicted paedophile through UAE-linked businesswoman

 

Newly released files include emails detailing a shipment of sacred cloth from the Kaaba in Mecca to the United States, arranged through contacts linked to the United Arab Emirates and delivered to convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

The correspondence, dated February and March 2017, shows UAE-based businesswoman Aziza al-Ahmadi working with a man named Abdullah al-Maari to organise the shipment of three pieces connected to the Kiswa - the black, gold-embroidered cloth that covers the Kaaba at the centre of Islam’s holiest site in Saudi Arabia.

The Kiswa carries deep religious meaning for Muslims worldwide. Each year, the cloth is removed from the shrine and replaced with a new one, with parts of the previous Kiswa treated as highly valuable artefacts.

Emails in the Epstein files show the items shipped by air freight from Saudi Arabia to Florida via British Airways, with coordination spanning invoices, customs arrangements and delivery inside the United States.

The messages describe three separate pieces: one from inside the Kaaba, one from the outer covering that was used, and a third made from the same materials but not used. The correspondence describes the unused piece as a way to classify the shipment under “artworks”.

The shipment arrived at Epstein’s home in March 2017, long after he had served jail time and registered as a sex offender.

In one email, Ahmadi underscored the cloth’s religious significance while addressing Epstein directly: “The black piece was touched by minimum 10 million Muslims of different denominations, Sunni, Shia and others.”

“They walk around the Kaaba seven rounds then every one tries as much as they can to touch it and they kept their prayers, wishes, tears and hopes on this piece. Hoping after that all their prayers to be accepted,” she added.

The correspondence does not explain how Ahmadi came to know Epstein or why the pieces were sent to him.

In another set of emails, Ahmadi, who is reportedly Saudi Arabian, checks on Epstein after Hurricane Irma hit the Caribbean in September 2017, as his private island suffered heavy damage.

Over several days, Ahmadi repeatedly contacted Epstein’s secretary to ask about his wellbeing on the island.

“Everyone is safe and that is most important...some structures are gone...trees gone....dock pavilions gone... roads impassable....other outside damage, but inside ok....it's a mess but can all be rebuilt! thanks for checking,” the secretary wrote. Ahmadi replied: “Promise to send new tent ;)”.

The emails do not show whether Ahmadi ever visited Epstein’s island or understood the full scope of what took place there. 

Little Saint James, as the island is known, was used as a base of operations for Epstein's sex-trafficking operation.

In another message, Epstein’s long-time assistant, Lesley Groff, sent Ahmadi a DNA testing kit. It's unclear for what.

Epstein rarely communicated with Ahmadi directly in the correspondence. In one email, she asked Groff: “Can I pass by Jeffrey's house today before I leave NYC. To say Bye and Happy birthday. I need just 15 min.”

Separately, an FBI memo released on Friday evening said Epstein worked with US and Israeli intelligence.

“Epstein was close to the former Prime Minister of Israel, Ehud Barak, and trained as a spy under him,” the memo said.

The Kiswah in Epstein’s world: Paedophilia, orientalism and power

The disclosure that pieces of the Kiswah, the sacred cloth covering the holy Kaaba, were shipped to Jeffrey Epstein should not be an investigative curiosity lost among court proceedings. It is a blasphemous scandal that exposes how power operates through violation. According to unsealed correspondence cited in recent reporting, multiple pieces of the Kiswah were transferred to Epstein through intermediaries with access to Saudi religious networks. This was not an innocent exchange of art or a cultural misunderstanding. It was a breach that implicates both Epstein and the authorities responsible for safeguarding Islam’s most sacred symbol.

The Kiswah is not a decorative textile or a historical relic. It covers the Kaaba, the spiritual axis of Islam and the focal point of Muslim prayer across the world. Its significance lies not in craftsmanship or rarity, but in inviolability. The cloth exists within a tightly regulated ritual order governed by restraint, sanctity, and collective trust. Once removed from that context and placed into private possession, it ceases to function as a sacred object and becomes a trophy.

Public commentary has attempted to neutralise this breach through euphemism. The transfer is described as a “gift,” an “art object,” or a collector’s item. It was emphasized that millions of pilgrims touched the Kiswah during tawaf, as though this tactile history justifies its removal. This framing is misleading. The Kiswah is not sacred because it is touched, but because it is bounded, because it belongs to a communal order that resists private ownership. Reducing it to a sensory artefact strips it of meaning.

This is where the connection to pedophilia must be stated clearly and without euphemism. Paedophilia is not defined only by sexual attraction. It is defined by the pursuit of violation. The defining feature is the compulsion to cross an absolute boundary, to corrupt what is protected, innocent, and forbidden. The act derives its charge from contamination, from taking what is explicitly marked as untouchable and rendering it accessible.

Mandelson: Trapped in the Epstein web

The appropriation of the Kiswah follows the same structure. Its value, in this context, does not lie in beauty or history, but in the collapse of sacred distance. What is meant to remain beyond possession is dragged into private space. The thrill is not aesthetic. It is transgressive. This is why the object matters. It is not the cloth itself, but what its possession signifies: the power to violate a boundary that others are bound to respect.

Jeffrey Epstein’s involvement makes this logic impossible to ignore. He was not a neutral collector or a patron of culture. He was a serial abuser whose life revolved around secrecy, access, and impunity. His crimes were organised around controlled environments, protected victims, and the systematic erosion of limits. In that context, the possession of the Kiswah cannot be separated from the psychology of abuse. It reflects the same orientation toward purity as something to be accessed, tainted, and possessed.

Responsibility, however, does not rest with Epstein alone. The Kiswah should not circulate freely. Its production, removal, and distribution fall under Saudi custodianship. Sacred material from Islam’s holiest site does not enter private hands by accident. Whether the transfer was formally approved or informally facilitated, oversight failed. Silence from custodial authorities has only deepened that failure.

Reported correspondence suggests that the transfer was coordinated by a Gulf-based woman with access to Saudi intermediaries, who managed logistics and customs classification. The items were reportedly described in detail for their religious importance while being categorised as “artwork” to ease transport. This action is condemnable because it happened in 2017 when Epstein was already a convicted abuser, and for Muslim-named individuals to facilitate the shipment of a sacred artefact to him does not sit right. This shows how power and privilege transcends morality and religiosity.

This episode also belongs to a longer history of Orientalism. Western elites have long treated Islamic symbols as objects of fascination, possession, and play. From colonial collections to private museums, sacred artefacts have been stripped of lived meaning and recast as exotic trophies. In this framework, Islamic sanctity is not a boundary but a resource. What is communal becomes collectible. What is inviolable becomes displayable.

That orientalist logic intersects easily with abuse. When sacred symbols are reduced to items, their violation loses moral weight. The boundary dissolves. What remains is entitlement. The Kiswah’s transfer to Epstein represents the extreme end of this continuum, where elite power, custodial complicity, and a psychology of violation converge.

The Epstein Files: Blackmail, power, and geopolitical shadows

For Muslims worldwide, this is not simply about offence. It is about betrayal. The custodians of the Kaaba claim moral and religious authority over Islam’s holiest site. That authority rests on trust. Allowing fragments of the Kaaba’s covering to become private possessions for a man synonymous with sexual exploitation corrodes that trust and weakens the very legitimacy of custodianship. This is why the response cannot stop at condemning Epstein alone. His depravity is already established. The harder questions must be directed at the system that enabled access and now refuse explanation. Why a figure like Epstein was considered an acceptable recipient of sacred material?

Accountability in this case cannot be reduced to courtrooms or prosecutions. Desecration does not only occur through physical destruction; it occurs when meaning is hollowed out and power replaces reverence. The Kiswah was not merely mishandled but conceptually violated, drawn into a logic that mirrors paedophilia itself. This violation was enabled by orientalist habits of possession and by a broader failure of custodianship, but also by a public indifference that refuses to recognise symbolic harm as real harm. The most disturbing aspect of this episode is not only what was done to the sacred, but how little outrage it provoked.

Exceptionally worded... Also, occultists tend to violate the holiness or sanctity of a law, principle, relic, scroll, location, symbol etc. slowly over time... Little by little over a span of 80 - 200 years for example... Like the Qur’an was gradually revealed in steps to Muhammad... They use principles learned from God and they present it for public consumption albeit in an inverted manner... They're trying to dissolve the holiness of the headscarf by fetishizing it... It was brought to my attention years ago, that sexualizing the veil has become an entire genre in pornograpy... Zionists have a heavy hand in the porn business... Also, when we see people constantly burning the Qur’an... It does something to our minds... It transforms and alters the subconscious... Especially over time... We begin to devalue the Qur’an and treat it as any other book... These are magical and demonic practices

Forget non-Muslims and Westerners on one side.. You have the Wahhabis saying things online like, "Um, duh, er, ah...The cloth has no power and all the power resides with Allah alone... so Epstein can do whatever he wants with it blah, blah, blah." We know Allah has all the power idiots... I think you're missing the larger picture here... Wahhabism was created to destroy Islam from within... They probably consider Epstein as "Ahlul Kitab"

Yep. & a big wake up call to those who did not believe in any conspiracies.

They were also injecting baby blood into themselves to lengthen their life.

Gates (the big proponent of scamdemic vacc1nes) was also in the files and Epstein was asking him how to reduce the population.

WEF, Agenda 2030, NWO, it’s all real.

this is stuff we’ve been saying for years - even though I wish I was wrong about them.

My guess is that he intended to perform sorcery on the millions of Muslims whose DNA would have remained on the Kiswa during Hajj, left behind through their kisses and through their perspiring hands and faces that came into contact with it.

Salam un Alaikum - look at this from a different angle. These are the people who have been murderers of thousands of Prophets and Awliyah throughout ages, and have been in open animosity with Archangel Jibraeel.
 

They being the super agents of Iblees Laeen, are likely in constant attempts of profiling the DNA of their arch enemy, the Imam of our time (may Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) protect HH); this Kiswah incident which hung on the door of Ka’aba, the place where He (af) will rest and make his first call, the blowing up of the Smarra shrine, His (af) immediate parents (عليه السلام) resting place, other such attempts in Hashimee graveyard in Damascus. With almost all of humanity profiled, there is one individual who is still out of the reach of their net, and all of these Billion$ of investments are just for that, because without that, the world domination of ultimate evil will remain a vulnerable dream. 
..totally factual, it’s not an emotional rant.
