Ka'aba
|
|
| Ka'aba |
|
|
- Built originally by Abraham
- The Black Stone of the eastern corner is said to date to the period of
Adam and Eve, and is possibly a meteorite remnant
- To keep the peace among the perpetually warring tribes, Mecca was declared
a sanctuary where no violence was allowed within 20 miles (32 km) of the Kaaba. This
combat-free zone allowed Mecca to thrive not only as a place of pilgrimage, but also as a
trading center.
- The Kaaba was thought to be at the center of the world with the Gate of
Heaven directly above it. The Kaaba marked the location where the sacred world intersected
with the profane, and the embedded Black Stone was a further symbol of this as a meteorite
that had fallen from the sky and linked heaven and earth.

- Like Jews, the earliest Muslims prayed facing Jerusalem. According to
Islamic tradition, when Muhammad was praying in the Qiblatain Mosque (in Medina), he was
ordered by God to change the qibla from Jerusalem to Mecca and the Kaaba. Various theories
are advanced as to the reason for the change.
- For any reference point on the Earth, the qibla is the direction to the
Kaaba. Muslims are ordered to face this direction during prayer (Qur'an 2:143-144). While
it may appear to some non-Muslims that Muslims worship the Kaaba, it is simply the focal
point for prayer.
