Was this black cubicle actually built by Father Abraham and his first son-Ishmael whom he had with Hagar the Egyptian woman? Ishmael and his mother were transferred to another location around the valley of Mecca right from childhood when Sarah started feeling insecure, they didn't cohabit with Abraham. Islamists claim the Black Cubicle (Kabaah) was built by Abraham and his son Ishmael at the site where Abraham journeyed to sacrifice his son-Isaac, around 1700-2000 BCE, and then re-consecrated by Muhammad in 630 CE, the Ka'ba is the most sacred place in Islamic religion. Five times each day, devout Muslims direct their prayers toward Mecca and the Kabaah. As one of the Five Pillars of Islam, each Muslim is to commit to the Hajj and pilgrimage to Mecca at least once in his or her life time. Nearly 3 million Muslims converge at Mecca each year for the Hajj. They worship the Black Stone by circling the Kaaba (Black Cubicle) seven times counterclockwise, known as Tawaf; the first three at a hurried pace on the outer part of the Mataaf and the latter four times closer to the Kaaba at a leisurely pace. Tawaf around the Kabaah: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-YyR1oN66w&pp=ygUWVGF3YWYgYXJvdW5kIHRoZSBrYWFiYQ%3D%3D The circling is believed to demonstrate the unity of the believers in the worship of the One Allah, as they move in harmony together around the Kaaba, while supplicating to Allah. To be in a state of Wudu (ablution) is mandatory while performing Tawaf as it is considered to be a form of worship ('ibadah). Tawaf begins from the corner of the Kaaba with the Black Stone. If possible, Muslims are to kiss or touch the Black Stone, but this is often not possible because of the large crowds. The door of the Kaaba is made of solid gold; it was added in 1982. The kiswa, a large cloth that covers the Kaaba, which used to be sent from Egypt with the Hajj caravan, today is made in Saudi Arabia. The Black Stone which is forged into a silver casing is located at the eastern corner of the Ka'ba (the Black Cubicle). Contact with this sacred object will confer “baraka”, a divine blessing on the pilgrim. Many Muslims believe that the Stone fell from Heaven during the time of Adam and Eve, and that it was once a pure and dazzling white stone, but has turned black because of the sins it has absorbed over the years. Non-Islamic historians point to the baetylus, or meteorite worship, in pre-Islamic Arabia, and say it is likely that the Stone is a meteorite. Some say that the Stone was found by Abraham (Ibrahim) and his son Ishmael (Ismail) when they were searching for stones with which to build the Black Cubicle (Ka'ba). They recognized its worth and made it one of the building's cornerstones. It was also said that the stone was given to Ishmael by the Archangel Gabriel. Source 1 Like

If you don't understand things, ask questions. Wifi told you Muslims worship stones mumu. That stone was one of those things the prophet used to unify thr Arabs. It was one counted worthy by the tribes, the prophet called the leaders of the 7 tribes to put it where it is. There's nothing like stone worship in Islam okay ? |

TemplarLandry: What enlightenment is there when you lied that Muslims worship stones? Which Islamic text mentions Muslim worshiping stones? And Hajj is for all Muslims who are able and capable especially as regards the expense! Poor people are not forced to do it. |
