Did You Know These Facts About The Kaaba ?

Every Muslim is expected to face the Kaaba during prayers, no matter where they are in the world.

During the Hajj, millions of Muslims walk around the Kaaba in a counter-clockwise direction in a ritual known as Tawaf.

The Kaaba is said to have been originally built by Abraham and his son Ishmael, and has been reconstructed several times throughout history.

The Kaaba, located in the center of Islam's most sacred mosque, Masjid al-Haram, in Mecca, is the most sacred site in Islam.

The structure is a cuboid, covered in a black silk cloth called the Kiswah, which is replaced annually during the Hajj pilgrimage.
