What's the difference between Kaaba and Allah?

Question

I want to hear the answers that you are really convenced with?

Answer 1

As told by Wikipedia,

"For any reference point on the Earth, the Qibla is the direction to the Kaaba. Muslims are ordered to face this direction during prayer (Koran 2:143-144). While it may appear to some non-Muslims that Muslims worship the Kaaba, the Kaaba is simply a focal point for prayer, in a similar fashion to the cross for Christians or the Temple Mount for Jews."

I don't want to paste here, so visit this link http://www.irf.net/irf/dtp/dawah_tech/mcqnm9.htm

if you want to convince yourself as to the reasons why muslims face the Kaaba when praying.


Allah is the One Perfect God, The Creator, nothing is comparable to Him, He is the Designer.

Answer 2

The Kaaba is not the object of our worship. This is certainly true. We worship Allah alone, and we do not represent Him in any physical form. The Kaaba is only the focus point in our worship of God Almighty. It symbolizes the unity of all Muslims in all generations, as they all turn toward it when they pray. It acquires its importance from the fact that it is the first house ever built for human worship. This is clearly stated in the Qur’an: “The first House (of worship) ever set up for mankind was indeed the one at Bakkah: Rich in blessing; and a source of guidance to all the worlds.” (3: 96) Incidentally, Bakkah is another name of the city of Makkah. It was built by the two prophets Abraham and Ishmael on God’s orders and by His guidance.

Muslims know that the Kaaba itself has no power to benefit or harm anyone. It is a blessed place for our worship, but worship is addressed to God alone. We greet the Kaaba by doing the tawaf around it, which is a walk encircling it seven times, during which we praise and glorify God, read the Qur’an, or pray for our forgiveness, God’s mercy or any other thing. This tawaf counts like a prayer, but ordinary speech is permissible while we are doing it.

Answer 3

Kaba is considered by Muslims as the first house of worship built by Prophet Abraham for the sole worship of Allah(Arabic for God)

Quran says
"Most surely the first house appointed for men is the one at Bekka, blessed and a guidance for the nations. " 3: 96.

"And when Ibrahim and Ismail raised the foundations of the House: Our Lord! accept from us; surely you are the Hearing, the Knowing: " Quran 2:127.

It is a large cubical building structure and has been renovated few times in its history

Allah is the arabic word for God. It is not used to refer to any other created being. Besides Muslims, Arab Christians and Jews also use the same word to refer to God
