The Kaaba
Is a cuboidal building in Mecca
Saudi Arabia, and is the most sacred site in Islam.
The building predates Islam, and, according to Islamic tradition,
the first building at the site was built by Abraham.
The building has a mosque built around it, the Masjid al-Haram.
All Muslims around the world face the Kaaba during prayers,
no matter where they are.
One of the Five Pillars of Islam requires every capable Muslim to perform
the Hajj pilgrimage at least once in their lifetime. Multiple parts of the Hajj
require pilgrims to walk several times around the Kaaba in a counter-clockwise

Black Stone
The Black Stone is a significant feature of
the Kaaba, believed by Muslims to date
back to the time of Adam and Eve.
Located on the eastern corner of the Kaaba, it is about 30 cm (12 inches) in
diameter and surrounded by a silver frame.
All Hajj pilgrims must attempt to kiss the
Stone as Prophet Muhammad once did.
If they cannot then a flying kiss would be
sufficient Because of the large crowds,
this is not always possible,
and so as pilgrims walk around the Kaaba,
they are to point to the Stone on each circuit.
