The black rock (thought to be a meterorite) is housed in a cube shaped building in Mecca called the Kaaba. Of this, Wikipedia says:
"For any reference point on the Earth, the Qibla is the direction to the Kaaba. Muslims are ordered to face this direction during prayer (Qur'an 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 do not recognize a lot about Muslims, yet i'm confident it has to do with their scripture or holy texts. i discover that in simple terms because you do not think in it, would not recommend that is stupid. in case you don't like someone, the same is going for that. no individual extremely is known with what occurs after we die--we will discover out at the same time as each and each human beings get there. interior the recommend time, faith tries to maintain good morality and easily provides human beings desire. at times, that is all and sundry want interior the international. at the same time as each thing is blowing up on your face, particularly faith can go 1000 miles. i'm Agnostic. i think each thing has an equivalent probability of being fantastic, yet that is in simple terms my perception. i don't like it at the same time as non secular human beings attempt to cram their beliefs down my throat, nor do i love it at the same time as non-non secular human beings attempt to deflate faith. we are who we are.

We don't. We only pray in that direction because it strengthens the unity of Muslims if all are praying in one direction. The stone has no significance to us.

No Muslim pray to no stones.
We pray to the one and only imageless God ALLAH.
