The Kabah was a sanctuary in pre-Islamic times. Muslims believe that Abraham—known as Ibrahim(A.E.) in the Islamic tradition—and His son, Ismail (A.E), constructed the Kaabah. ... The Qurayesh tribe, who ruled Mecca, rebuilt the pre-Islamic Kabah in 608 CE with alternating courses of masonry and wood. Pilgrimage to a holy site is a core principle of almost all faiths. The Kaaba, meaning cube in Arabic, is a square building elegantly draped in a silk and cotton veil. Located in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, it is the holiest shrine in Islam. In Islam, Muslims pray five times a day and after 624 CE, these prayers were directed towards Mecca and the Kaaba rather than Jerusalem; this direction—or qibla in Arabic—is marked in all mosques and enables the faithful to know in which direction they should pray. The Qur‘an established the direction of prayer. All Muslims aspire to undertake the hajj, or the annual pilgrimage, to the Kaaba once in their lives if they are able. Prayer five times a day and the hajj are two of the five pillars of Islam, the most fundamental principles of the faith. Upon arriving in Mecca, pilgrims gather in the courtyard of the Masjid al-Haram around the Kaaba. They then circumambulate tawaf in Arabic or walk around the Kaaba, during which they hope to kiss and touch the Black Stone al-Hajar al-Aswad embedded in the eastern corner of the Kaaba. Today, the Kaaba is a cubical structure, unlike almost any other religious structure. It is fifteen meters tall and ten and a half meters on each side; its corners roughly align with the cardinal directions. The door of the Kaaba is now made of solid gold; it was added in 1982. The kiswa—the large cloth that covers the Kaaba—used to be sent from Egypt with the hajj caravan but today is made in Saudi Arabia. Until the advent of modern transportation, all pilgrims undertook the often dangerous hajj, or pilgrimage, to Mecca in a large caravan across the desert, leaving from Damascus, Cairo, and other major cities in Arabia, Yemen, or Iraq. title: khana kaba old pics|old video of Makkah |Makkah in 1966|rare video of kabah|Kabah 55 years old video tags: makkah,makkah old videos,old and very rare photo of makkah,makkah video,old pictures of kaaba,makkah old pictures,rare images of makkah,early photos of makkah,old makkah images,khana kabah tawaf today live,makkah old,old makkah,khana kabaa tv,kaba makkah,kabah,kaaba makah,latest pic of kaaba,khana kaba,video,rain in makkah,islamic videos,tawaf of kaaba,makkah azaan,imam e kabah,makkah live stream,old mecca,old kaaba,kaba sharif,mtn videos
