HISTORICAL PLACES (DESCRIPTIVE TEXT)

 History of the existence of the Kaaba in Mecca 

KA'BAH which is located in the middle of the Grand Mosque in Mecca with the shape of the building which continues the shape of a cube. The Ka'bah is a building that is used as a benchmark or qibla or direction for religious matters for Muslims around the world such as prayer. In addition, the Ka'bah is a building that must be visited or pilgrimage for Muslims during the Haj and Umrah seasons. At first, Mecca was just an empty expanse. From how far the view can see all we see is the sand struggling in the middle of the scorching heat. The flow of zam-zam water was the first to turn this arid area into a small place where a new group of Islamic world civilization started. The Ka'bah, named as Bayt al 'Atiq, is a building that was restored during the time of Prophet Ibrahim and Prophet Ismail after Prophet Ismail was in Mecca by order of Allah SWT. In the Qur'an, surah Ibrahim verse 37 that the holy site of the Ka'bah existed at the time when Prophet Ibrahim placed Siti Hajar and Prophet Ismail when he was a baby in that location.
