Inside The Kabah (Interior View)
The Kabah is the holiest building. It is in the middle of the Al-Haram mosque in Makkah.
In Islamic culture, it is a very important thing. When people go to Saudi Arabia for Hajj or Umrah,
they pray seven times while going counterclockwise around the Kabah.
Ismael, the son of the Prophet Abraham,
helped construct the Kaaba as a place of worship for the Almighty.
During the five daily prayers, adherents turn to face it as a show of devotion to God.
This makes the Kaaba’s outside structure and interior view beautiful.
A high number of pilgrims attend Hajj annually.
The Saudi government added to the mosque’s 40-acre grounds so that
it could accommodate more worshippers.
