Many years ago, a meteor fell in the Arabian desert. The primitive humans who saw it fall to Earth thought it was a rock from the gods, and built a shrine around it. They've been woshipping it ever since. Not even Mohammad could stop them from considering the rock to be "sacred", so he made up a story about Abraham bringing it down from Israel.

If ANOTHER meteor falls on Mecca, would it still be considered "a rock from God"?

Muslim tradition says that Adam found the rock, and Abraham found it later. Someone needs to brush up on their Muslim history ;)

Just to clear ur one misconception muslims dont worship that black stone. That black stone is used for direction only as all muslims pray towards that black stone. They pray one god and not that black stone

If a rock was big enough and landed in the right place - I reckon
the muslims might consider it a sign.
After all, the only reason why mecca is famous is because of
a scroll that was kept inside it. Taking the scroll out years later,
they found it had rotted away, with only the words "a__ah is
god almighty" or some such rubbish .. so they considered it a
sacred sign.

Of course, if the meteor was big enough that it destroyed mecca,
as you say, then *I* would consider it a sign from God!
