Explain the black box that Muslims worship?
Muslims only worship the one and only God, Allah, and do not worship anything else, including a black box. The 'black box' that you are referring to is properly called the ka'bah, and is believed by Muslims to have been built by Adam originally and then rebuilt by Abraham. It is considered to be the most sacred place of worship in Islam. Muslims do circumambulate the ka'bah and do face it during prayer, however Muslims DO NOT worship the ka'bah itself. To say that would be as absurd as saying that Christians who go to Church worship the Church itself or Jews who go to the synagogue worship the synagogue itself. The ka'bah is merely symbolic and is considered to be the 'house of Allah' hence Muslims face it during prayer, but actually worship only Allah.
Why Muslims pray in front of stone?
First of all it is not a stone, it is what Muslim's believe to be Allah's house on earth. They do not in any way believe he is inside it nor do they worship the Ka'ba. The stone you're referring to was sent down from Allah (what western scientist perceive to be a meteorite) to pin point the exact place he wanted this house to be built. It is believed by Muslims that the House was built by Abraham and possibly his sons helped. The stone has no other relevance other than that. Having said, the stone i believe can be viewed in Mecca but am not totally sure. Now the Ka'ba is not to be worshipped by Muslims, but it is used to give direction in which all Muslims all over the world will pray in. And nothing more then this. its their religion
Why do Islam worship a black box?

What is the sacred shrine located in Mecca that housed the images of many Arab gods?
