The Ka’bah is the Sacred House of Allah, and the greatest building for Muslims. It enjoys a great prestige and a glorious history. It was built by Abraham and his son, Ismail, peace be upon both of them. It is the first house that Allah placed on earth so that mankind may worship Him alone, without ascribing any partner to Him.
