Prophets Adam then Abraham (peace be upon them)
The Kaaba was built by Abraham, whom many consider a prophet.
The Kaaba and the mosque are and have been a great source of revenue for the country way before there was oil to be had. The small meteorite that is in the center of what is called Kaaba was actually one of the idols that was worshipped before Islam blessed the region with its presence. It later became the symbol for Islam and its worshippers.

The Kaaba was built by Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) and his son Prophet Ismael (Ishmael) as a shrine dedicated to the worship of one God. It serves as a central focal point for Muslims around the world during their prayers and pilgrimage.
Muslims believe that the Kaaba was first built by Abraham, called Ibrahim in Arabic.
Muslims tell us that the kaaba was built by Ibrahim and his son Ismail. Islamic traditions assert that the Kaaba was first built by Adam, the first man on earth and that Abraham and Ismail rebuilt the Kaaba. The Best estimates is that the Kaaba really dates to about the 3rd century BC and Abraham could not have existed after 1500 BC.
It was built by Muhammed Ghori.
According to tradition, the Kaaba was built by Ibrahim as the first house for the worship of Allah. It is estimated that about six million Muslims make a pilgrimage to the Kaaba every year.

A:According to one Islamic tradition, the Kaaba was originally built in heaven, 2000 years before the creation of the world, and a model of it still remains in heaven. Adam erected the Kaaba on earth but this was destroyed during the Flood. 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.A more mundane explanation is that the Kaaba was built by the pagans of Mecca, perhaps a few centuries before the time of Muhammad. It became regarded as so sacred that even Arabic Jews and Christians came there to worship.
