The Kaabah...it contains a blackened stone thought to be a meteorite. It also contains the idols representing gods that were worshipped in the Arabian Peninsula before the advent of Islam.

It is the sacred Ka'bah which was destroyed manytimes by natural calamities and was rebuilt by many prophets .It is this structure that all the muslims in the world face while offering their five time prayers daily .
