"Kabah" is not a common English word - assuming this refers to "Kaaba", an Islamic sacred building in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, a possible sentence would be "The Kaaba is one of the holiest sites in Islam."
A:Mecca is unique because it was the home city of the prophet Muhammad and therefore the place where Islam began. It was also the location of the Kabah, the cube-shaped pagan shrine in the heart of Mecca. It was already quite ancient and the original meaning of the cult associated with it had been forgotten but, at the time of Muhammad, the shrine was dedicated to Hubal, a Nabatean deity, and there were 360 idols arranged around the Kabah. Because of the shrine, Mecca was a place of pilgrimage for pagans, but also even for Arabic Jews and Christians. Muhammad therefore felt that the Kabah ought to be kept as a place of pilgrimage for Islam.
It is called Kaba or Kaaba or Kabah. It is located in Mecca (Makkah) and surrounded by the Grand Mosque (Al-Masjid Al-Haram).

The Prophet (P.B.U.H) spend his childhood in Mecca. He (P.B.U.H) explained the principles of Islam to family members and to foreigners (not openly to local people). When he migrated to Medina, Muhammad (P.B.U.H) was comfortable enough to preach openly and publicly.
