Grand shrine in Mecca
August 16, at Mecca in Saudi Arabia, the holiest city of Islam, where Muslims gathered during Ramadan performing the hajj, having an unprecedent grand occasion. Kaaba (Caaba) is a black stone shaped like a cube building in Mecca and is the most sacred Muslim pilgrim shrine; hundreds of millions of Muslims turn in its direction when they are praying.

the Kabba is not a shrine man, shrine is a place where someone holy is buried, this does not exist in Islam at all, we have no shrines,no one is buried there, plus shrines are forbidden in Islam, thats your first mistake, the second mistake is the black stone, the Kabba is not a black stone cube, its a cube building built of many stones, not black, the color is not the issue, and it is dressed with a black garment, in the old days it was white and sometimes green, the black stone is a small stone which is placed in the corner of the building itself, one of many stones, the Kabba to all muslims is the main direction of praying, it is not holy in itself but because of the status it is placed in .. thats all, thanks, nice pictures by the way …
Grateful to you for your information.
