The Muslims do not worship at Mecca because something happened there. They worship at Mecca because the Black Stone or Kaaba is there. According to Muslims, Abraham used a black asteroid to create a place of worship for God and since the black asteroid is literally a stone from the heavens, it is seen as a closer connection to God.
