It was built and worshipped even before the birth of Muhammad. Pilgrimage to Mecca was already in practice. Muhammad accepted it's place in Islam through divine revelation. The meteorite was seen as a special gift from God. It was even connected with Adam and Abraham and even the angel Gabriel, thought to have carried it to earth.

The Ka'ba is the 50ft tall structure in Mecca that Muslims circle 7 times. It is covered by the Kiswa which is a drape that costs approximately $5.3 million and uses gold thread. It is important because it is a structure built by Abraham that was dedicated to Allah. In the corner of the Ka'ba is the Black Stone but neither the stone nor the Ka'ba are worshiped themselves. The Ka'ba is what all Muslims pray toward but they do not pray to the Ka'ba itself.

The Ka'bah is believed to be the main house of god. They believe all mosques are the houses of god, but the Ka'bah is the main one. Also, in Islamic history the Ka'bah is believed to be built by the prophet Ibrahim, and his son, Ishmael on god's orders. The Ka'bah is also one of the places visited during Hedge, in which it is walked around seven times representing when Ishmael's mother walked around the mountains in the desert seven times trying to find water for her infant, Ishmael.

The Kaaba is the place that, for Muslims, Allah has said to turn when they pray. So for Muslims, it is the most important place on earth. As well the Kaaba helps to unify a religion which exists in all countries and in differing forms.
