Simply NO....This question is so tired now. Cant you think of something a little bit more original. We do not worship anything or anyone but God. We all pray in the direction of Mecca and the Kabba is the focal point. The Kabba is an empty building covered with a black cloth it is not a Stone.

I know this is long but its a good answer if you are refering to the Kaaba! Muslims worship only one God and nothing else,
Question:
When Islam is against idol worship why do the Muslims worship, and bow down
to the Kaaba in their prayer?
Answer:
Kaaba is the Qibla i.e. the direction Muslims face during their prayers. It is
important to note that though Muslims face the Kaaba during prayers, they do
not worship the Kaaba. Muslims worship and bow to none but Allah.
It is mentioned in Surah Baqarah:
“We see the turning of thy face (for guidance) to the heavens: now shall
We turn thee to a Qiblah that shall please thee. Turn then thy face in the
direction of the Sacred Mosque: wherever ye are, turn your faces in that
direction.” [Al-Qur’an 2:144]
1. Islam believes in fostering unity
For instance, if Muslims want to offer Salaah (Prayer), it is possible that some
may wish to face north, while some may wish to face south. In order to unite
Muslims in their worship of the One True God, Muslims, wherever they may be,
are asked to face in only one direction i.e. towards the Kaaba. If some Muslims
live towards the west of the Kaaba they face the east. Similarly if they live
towards the east of the Kaaba they face the west.
2. Kaaba is at the Centre of the World Map
The Muslims were the first people to draw the map of the world. They drew the
map with the south facing upwards and north downwards. The Kaaba was at
the centre. Later, western cartographers drew the map upside down with the
north facing upwards and south downwards. Yet, Alhamdullilah the Kaaba is at
the centre of the world map.
3. Tawaf around Kaaba for indicating one God
When the Muslims go to Masjid-e-Haram in Makkah, they perform tawaf or
circumambulation round the Kaaba. This act symbolizes the belief and worship
of One God, since, just as every circle has one centre, so also there is only one
Allah (swt) worthy of worship.
4. Hadith of Umar (may Allah be pleased with him)
Regarding the black stone, hajr-e-aswad, there is a hadith (tradition), attributed
to the illustrious companion of the Prophet Muhammed (pbuh), Umar (may Allah
be pleased with him).
According to Sahih Bukhari, Volume 2, book of Hajj, chapter 56, H.No. 675.
Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, “I know that you are a stone and
can neither benefit nor harm. Had I not seen the Prophet (pbuh) touching (and
kissing) you, I would never have touched (and kissed) you”.
5. People stood on Kaaba and gave the adhaan
At the time of the Prophet, people even stood on the Kaaba and gave the
‘adhaan’ or the call to prayer. One may ask those who allege that Muslims
worship the Kaaba; which idol worshipper stands on the idol he worships?

They worship that stone at Mecca as much as a Christian would worship the cross. Which is, not at all.

Muslims do no longer worship the black stone pronounced as kaaba. The kaaba is have self belief to have been outfitted by utilising Abraham and Ismael as a house of worship to god. even in the event that they do no longer worship the kaaba. there's a hadeeth, the place the prophet says "The sanctity of a believer is plenty extra suitable in Allah's sight than the sanctity of the Kaaba itself."

DEAR, MUSLIMS DO NOT WORSHIP THE STONE YOU ARE REFERRING TO IN MECCA. MUSLIMS WORSHIP ALLAH WHO IS IN ENGLISH GOD AND THE BEST WAY TO EXPLAIN THIS TO YOU IS : HE IS THE CREATOR OF EVERYTHING YOU SEE IN YOUR LIFE. THE STONE IS CALLED THE BLACK STONE AND IS IN A CORNER OF THE KAABA WHICH IS A CUBE CONSTRUCTION IN MEKKAH THAT HAS BEEN BUILT BY PROPHET ABRAHAM.

That holy stone that they worship is a bright star that fell from heaven.
Luke 10:18, "And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven."
