     Brief History

   The Quran contains several verses regarding the origin of the Kaaba. It states that the Kaaba was the First House of Worship and that it was built by Ibrahim and Ismail on Allah's instructions.

    Verily, the first House (of worship) appointed for mankind was that at Makkah, full of blessing, and a guidance for mankind.

        

   Quran, Surah AL Imran (3), Ayah 96

    Behold! We gave the site, to Ibrahim, of the (Sacred) House, (saying): " Associate not anything (in worship) with Me, and sanctify My House for those who compass it round, or stand up, or bow, or prostrate themselves (therein in prayer).

   __Quran, Surah Al-Hajj(22), Ayah(26)

     And remember Ibrahim and Ismail raised this foundation of the House (With this prayer):'' Our Lord! Accept (this service) from us: For Thou art, the All-Hearing, the All-knowing.

 Qibla

The Qibla is the direction faced during prayer. It is the focal point for prayer. The direction faced during prayer is the direction of where the Kaaba is.

The Kaaba is the holiest site in Islam and is often called by names such as the House of God.

Black stone of Macca

Located in the eastern corner of the Kaaba is the Black Stone Mecca, whose now-broken people are surrounded by a ring of stone and held together by a heavy silver band.

   According to tradition, this stone was given to Hazrat Adam on his expulsion from paradise in order to obtain forgiveness of this seins . Legend has it that has stone was originally white but has become black by absorbing the sins of the countless thousands of pilgrims who have kissed and touched it.

The house of Allah SWT is the ultimate love of every Muslim. I can't explain my feelings about Kabba in words. Only tears can show our love and respect for the house of Allah SWT. Their people are always ready to help the pilgrims. I wish every Muslim should get the chance to visit Allah's home once in his or her life. Ameen.
