History and Construction of the Kaaba

The Kaaba is the first house of worship established for mankind, built by angels and raised by Prophets Ibrahim and Ismail as a symbol of monotheism. Throughout history, it underwent several renovations, most notably by the Quraysh, where Prophet Muhammad ﷺ placed the Black Stone. Draped in golden-threaded black silk, it serves as the focal point for billions of Muslims in prayer. It remains the "Ancient House," where circumambulating pilgrims create a majestic scene of Islamic unity.
