This is the Kaaba in the Holy City, where over 4000 years ago, God told the prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) to build in stone a place of worship, probably on a holy sanctuary founded by Adam. God asked Abraham to call all mankind to visit the place. At one corner of the Kaaba is the black stone which was part of the original building. The pilgrims will circle the Kaaba seven times, and go seven times between the mountains of Safa and Marwa, as did Ibrahim's wife, Hagar in her search for water.
