A:We do not know when the Kaaba was constructed, as it was already in existence long before the time of the prophet Muhamamad and was an object of devotion for three great faiths in and around Arabia - Judaism, Christianity and paganism.

Muslims believe that Adam constructed the Kaaba, but that it was destroyed in the Flood. According to this legend, Abraham was instructed to rebuild it and was assisted by Ishmail. While looking for a stone to mark the corner of the building, Ishmael met the angel Gabriel, who gave him the Black Stone, which was then whiter than milk. It later became black from the sins of those who touched it.
