Description: Watercolour painting of the Holy Kaaba
The story: The Kaaba is a building at the centre of Islam's most important masjid, the
Masjid al-Haram in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. It is the most sacred site in Islam and is the qibla
(direction of prayer) for Muslims around the world when performing salah (prayer).
The Kaaba has been rebuilt several times throughout history, most famously by Ibrahim
(Abraham) and his son Ismail (Ishmael), when he returned to the valley of Mecca several
years after leaving his wife Hajar (Hagar) and Ismail there upon Allah's command. Circling
the Kaaba seven times anti-clockwise, known as Tawaf, is an obligatory rite for the
completion of the Hajj and Umrah pilgrimages. [2] The area around the Kaaba on which
pilgrims circumambulate is called the Mataaf.
