What makes Mecca unique?
A:Mecca is unique because it was the home city of the prophet Muhammad and therefore the place where Islam began. It was also the location of the Kabah, the cube-shaped pagan shrine in the heart of Mecca. It was already quite ancient and the original meaning of the cult associated with it had been forgotten but, at the time of Muhammad, the shrine was dedicated to Hubal, a Nabatean deity, and there were 360 idols arranged around the Kabah. Because of the shrine, Mecca was a place of pilgrimage for pagans, but also even for Arabic Jews and Christians. Muhammad therefore felt that the Kabah ought to be kept as a place of pilgrimage for Islam.
