why do muslims worship the black rock.?

Answer 1

Not racist, just uninformed.

Answer 2

that is like asking chirstians why they worship the cross
but the black rock is called the Kabba
The Kaaba is a large masonry structure roughly the shape of a cube. (The name Kaaba comes from the Arabic word meaning "cube"). It is made of granite from the hills near Mecca. The most current dimensions for the structure are: 15 m high (49') with sides measuring 10.5 m (34') by 12 m (39'). [Petersen, Andrew. Dictionary of Islamic Architecture. London: Routledge, 1996. p.142.] It is covered by a black silk cloth decorated with gold-embroidered calligraphy. This cloth is known as the kiswah; it is replaced yearly. [1] [2]

The eastern cornerstone of the Kaaba contains the Black Stone or al-Ħajaru l-Aswad, which is generally thought to be a meteorite remnant.

Entrance to the inside of the Kaaba is gained through a door set 2.13 meters above the ground on the north-eastern wall of the Kaaba.


Inside the KaabaInside the Kaaba, there is a marble floor. The interior walls are clad with marble half-way to the roof; tablets with Qur'anic inscriptions are inset in the marble. The top part of the walls is covered with a green cloth decorated with gold embroidered Qur'anic verses. Lamps hang from a cross beam; there is also a small table for incense burners. The building is believed to be otherwise empty. Caretakers perfume the marble cladding with scented oil, the same oil used to anoint the Black Stone outside.

Muslims throughout the world face the Kaaba during prayers. For most places around the world, coordinates for Mecca suffice. However, in the Sacred Mosque, worshippers pray in concentric circles radiating outwards around the Kaaba. Therefore, the focus point is in the middle of the Kaaba. As one is not permitted to take a GPS reading from on top or inside the Kaaba, an estimate must be made from various positions around the Kaaba.

Answer 3

I am not a Muslim but I can understand the principles of Islam. In a religion, generally, there are two things that govern the religion: the dogma and the procedures. The dogma for Islam is THERE IS ONE ALLAH AND MOHAMMAD IS HIS PROPHET. There are a number of procedures for a Muslim to be a Muslim; one of these procedures is to pray 5 times a day facing towards the Kaaba, what Allah ordered him to do. There are also other procedures such as going to Mecca and pray at Kaaba once in your life if possible (haj); to fast during the month of Ramadan, to give alms to the have-not, etc. Therefore, Muslims do not worship Kaaba but do go to Kaaba as a procedure given to them by Allah. They worship Allah.

Answer 4

Muslims don't worship the black rock, which is known as Hajr-e-Aswad.

It is a part of the holy site (Ka'aba) to which muslims may visit on their pilgrimage to Mecca. The stone is part of Allah’s mark and is a sign of Him being the Supreme Being, but is not itself considered an object of power, nor is it itself worshipped by muslims.
