Was the kaaba built by all the prophets?
No, this is not true!
According to the Islamic traditions, which remains unsuported by any evidence whatsoever, it was Adam [you know the guy who was 50 feet tall] who first built Kaa'ba, later it was rebuilt by Abraham and Ishmael on the foundations laid down by Adam himself.
Now sometimes after Ishmael, the Arabs got into idolatry and made it a center of their religious activities. These Pagans attributed partners to Allah and placed those gods and goddesses in Kaa'ba as well.
During the early days of Muhammad, on whom be peace and blessings, the people of Makkah renovated it in which the Prophet (PBUH) himself participated.
So, its absolutely wrong to relate building of Kaa'ba to Moses (PBUH).
ALLAH KNOWS The BEST of any other sock puppet!

Historical Answer
The first caliph was Abu Bakr who ruled from June 632 C.E. to August 634 C.E.
Shiite Answer
The Prophet himself declared, in front of many people returning home from Hadj, that Ali ibn Abi Talib ( A. S. ) Was to be the Imam ( Leader ) after him. However, Abu Bakr got himself elected by a Shoura in contravention to the Prophet's Will. As a result, he was a false Caliph. Ali was finally recognized as Caliph by all Muslims in 656 C.E.

Who revealed the direct word of Allah to Muhammad?
The Quran was revealed by God (Allah) to Prophet Mohamed (peace upon him) through the Angel Gabriel (Jibril).
God revelation of Quran started in year 610 AD when Mohammed(PBUH) was at age 40 and was meditating in a mountain cave called 'Ghar Hiraa' in Mecca (or Makkah). Quran revelation continued until year 632 AD (till death of prophet Mohamed peace upon him).
Quran contains lots of scientific statements regarding many biological, astronomical, geographic, historical , ... facts and phenomena that were possible to be validated and proved only by the current state of discoveries and technologies. These statements that are usually called "scientific miramcles of Quran" are strong proof that Quran is God revelation to prophet Mohammed (PBUH) and that Quran could not be written by any human in the seventh century with having these scientific information.

Why is the Qur'an and Sunnah important?
Praise be to Allaah.
The Qur'aan is the word of the Lord of the Worlds, which Allaah revealed to His Messenger Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), to bring mankind forth from darkness into light:
"It is He Who sends down manifest Ayaat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) to His slave (Muhammad) that He may bring you out from darkness into light
[al-Hadeed 57:9 - interpretation of the meaning]
Allaah has told us in the Qur'aan the stories of the earlier and later generations and the creation of the heavens and the earth. He has explained in detail what is halaal and what is haraam, the basics of good manners and morals, the rulings of worship and dealings with others, the lives of the Prophets and the righteous, and the reward and punishment of the believers and disbelievers. He has described Paradise, the abode of the believers, and He has described Hell, the abode of the disbelievers. He has made it (the Qur'aan) an explanation of all things:
"And We have sent down to you the Book (the Qur'aan) as an exposition of everything, a guidance, a mercy, and glad tidings for those who have submitted themselves (to Allaah as Muslims)"
[al-Nahl 16:89 - interpretation of the meaning]
The Qur'aan explains the names and attributes of Allaah and what He has created. It calls us to believe in Allaah, His angels, His Books, His Messengers and the Last Day:
"The Messenger (Muhammad) believes in what has been sent down to him from his Lord, and (so do) the believers. Each one believes in Allaah, His Angels, His Books, and His Messengers. (They say,) 'We make no distinction between one another of His Messengers' - and they say, 'We hear, and we obey. (We seek) Your forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the return (of all)'"
[al-Baqarah 2:285 - interpretation of the meaning]
The Qur'aan describes the Day of Judgement and what will happen after death - the resurrection, the gathering, the judgment and being brought to account. It describes the Cistern, the Siraat (bridge over Hell), the Balance [in which deeds will be weighed], the blessings and torment, and the gathering of mankind on that great Day:
"Allaah! Laa ilaaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He). Surely, He will gather you together on the Day of Resurrection about which there is no doubt. And who is truer in statement than Allaah?
[al-Nisaa' 4:87 - interpretation of the meaning]
The Qur'aan calls us to examine and ponder the signs of Allaah in the universe and the verses of the Qur'aan:
"Say: 'Behold all that is in the heavens and the earth'"
[Yoonus 10:101 - interpretation of the meaning]
"Do they not then think deeply in the Qur'aan, or are their hearts locked up (from understanding it)?"
[Muhammad 47:24 - interpretation of the meaning]
The Qur'aan is the Book of Allaah for all of mankind:
"Verily, We have sent down to you (O Muhammad) the Book (this Qur'aan) for mankind in truth. So whosoever accepts the guidance, it is only for his own self; and whosoever goes astray, he goes astray only for his (own) loss. And you (O Muhammad) are not a Wakeel (trustee or disposer of affairs, or guardian) over them"[al-Zumar 39:41 - interpretation of the meaning]
The Qur'aan confirms the Books which came before it, the Tawraat (Torah) and Injeel (Gospel), and it is a witness over them, as Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
"And We have sent down to you (O Muhammad) the Book (this Qur'aan) in truth, confirming the Scripture that came before it and Muhaymin (trustworthy in highness and a witness) over it (old Scriptures)"[al-Maa'idah 5:48]
After the Qur'aan was revealed, it became the Book for all of mankind until the Hour begins. Whoever does not believe in it is a kaafir who will be punished with torment on the Day of Resurrection, as Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
"But those who reject Our Ayaat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.), the torment will touch them for their disbelief (and for their belying the Message of Muhammad)"[al-An'aam 6:49]
Because of the greatness of the Qur'aan and the signs, miracles, parables and lessons contained therein, in addition to its eloquence and beautiful style, Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
"Had We sent down this Qur'aan on a mountain, you would surely have seen it humbling itself and rent asunder by the fear of Allaah. Such are the parables which We put forward to mankind that they may reflect"[al-Hashr 58:21]
Allaah has challenged mankind and the jinn to produce something like it, even one soorah or one aayah, but they could not do that and will never be able to do that, as Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
"Say: 'If the mankind and the jinn were together to produce the like of this Qur'aan, they could not produce the like thereof, even if they helped one another'"[al-Israa' 17:88]
Because the Qur'aan is the greatest of the heavenly Books, the most complete, the most perfect and the last of them, Allaah commanded His Messenger Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) to convey it to all of mankind, as He says (interpretation of the meaning):
"O Messenger (Muhammad)! Proclaim (the Message) which has been sent down to you from your Lord. And if you do not, then you have not conveyed His Message. Allaah will protect you from mankind" [al-Maa'idah 5:67]
Because of the importance of this book and the ummah'sneed for it, Allaah has honored us with it. He sent it down to us and has guaranteed to preserve it. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
"Verily, We, it is We Who have sent down the Dhikr (i.e. the Qur'aan) and surely, We will guard it (from corruption)" [al-Hijr 15:9]

What did the angel Gabriel command Muhammad to be?
'Iqra' which means 'Read'
Muhammad was in the cave on Mount Hira, and an Angel appeared before him. The Angel, whose name was Gabriel, said to Muhammad: "Read in the name of your Lord who has created everything, who has created man from a clot of blood."
At once, Muhammad knew what this meant. He should go to Makkah and tell the people: Allah has created Man. Allah has created all the things that Man needs to live. Therefore Man should be grateful to Allah. He should pray only unto Allah and obey only Him. It is Allah's will that the poor and the sick should be cared for, and that people should strive with all their might to do good and lead honorable lives. After death, such people will be richly rewarded for their efforts. But those who purposely do evil will receive terrible punishment, unless they are sincerely sorry for what they have done and ask Allah to forgive them.
Who is the successor to Muhammad for shiites?
This is a question that divides Sunnis and Shiites. Here are some answers from contributors:
Answer 1
Politically, it was the First Caliph Abu Bakr.....
Genealogy wise, his son-in-law, Ali bin Abu Talib....
Answer 2: Shiite View
Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) was appointed at Ghadeer Qum according both Shia and Sunni sources at the final major sermon of the Holy Prophet Muhammed (pbuh). However, during the funeral procedures of the Prophet (saaw), whilst Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) was washing the body of the Prophet (saaw) and preparing the funeral, some companions secretly met at the house of Saqeefa. Umar ibn Khattab appointed Abu Bakr and later, as history books tell us, Umar ibn Kattab proclaimed that whoever goes against this appointment, he would 'cut their tongues off'.
Hence, although Ali ibn Abu Talib was the most knowledgable of the companions (there is no doubt about this - we do not see even a fraction of the depth seen in the writings of Ali ibn Abi Talib in any other companions). Hence, the divine knowledge that Muslims believe the Prophet had was taught by the Prophet (saaw) to Imam Ali (as).
Answer 3: Sunni View
The first thing to keep in mind is that the Prophet-hood not Kingship in which the son succeeds the father. The Prophets have no inheritance. The holy Prophet (SAW) used to lead the Prayers till he fell ill and was not able to lead the Muslims in prayer. He deputed this duty to his closest friend, father-in-law, and the first adult Muslim whom Almighty Allah describes as his friend in the Cave of Thor - Hazrat Abu Bakr (RAU). It may have been an indication that he was the most suitable person after him to lead the Muslims. However, he didn't mention any clear name of his Caliph in this regards. It left it to his Companions whom he considered to be equal to the task.
The Ansaar (the Helpers-native people of Madina Munawra) were discussing the matter of caliphate in Saqifa Bani Sa'adia when Hazra Abu Bakr RAU, Hazrat Omar RAU and Hazra Abu Obaida RAU reached there and after a heated discussion Hazrat Abu Bakr (RAU) was chosen the First Rightful Caliph.
On his death bed, Hazrat Abu Bakr (RAU) suggested the name of Hazrat Omar (RAU) to succeed him. The Companions rau agreed to his proposal and Hazrat Omar (RAU) became the second Rightful Caliph.
When Hazrat Omar (RAU) was fatally wounded as a result of a conspiracy, he suggested the names of six holy Companions (RAU) to select a Caliph amongst them. Some of the Companions suggested to him that he should nominate his son Hazrat Abdullah bin Omar as Caliph. He didn't agree to this proposal. The six companions nominated by him were: Hazrat Usman ibni Affan, Hazrat Ali ibni Abu Talib, Hazrat Zubair bin Awam, Hazrat Talhah bin Obaid Ullah, Hazrat Abdul Rahman bin Aof, and Hazrat Sa'ad bin Abi Waqas rau all of them. After some sittings and discussions, Hazrat Usman bin Affan rau was chosen the third Rightful Caliph.
During the last days of Hazrat Usman rau rebels sieged his house and killed him. Then they forced Hazrat Ali rau to become the fourth Rightful Caliph. Yet, his Caliphate was never completely established till he was killed by a Khawaji. After his death His elder son Hazrat Hassan rau became the caliph but be withdrew his name, made peace with Hazrat Muawiya rau.
It is interesting to note that those who claim that Hazrat Ali rau was the real successor of the holy Prophet (SAW) can't give any logic against this fact that during the Caliphate of first three Rightful Caliphs, Hazrat Ali rau had been the honorable member of the Advisory Council (Majlis-i-Shura). He had been an ardent supporter of these Caliphs. When the rebels sieged Hazrat Usman's house, he sent his sons to guard the house of the Caliph. He and his sons had been receiving stipend from these Caliphs. Hazrat Shahr Bano was given in the wedlock of Hazrat Husain rau by Hazrat Omar rau. All these actions become Haraam, then.
Was Hazrat Ali rau such a coward to remain true to them, and not to rise against them? Or was a hypocrite? Was he not as brave as his son Hazrat Hussain rau who rose against Yazid? He was the lion of Allah, one of the most dauntless persons. He is respected by all Muslims of all sects. The love of Ahli Bayat is a part of the Eeman of all Muslims. Yet, history shows that if Hazrat Abu Bakr rau and Hazrat Omar rau had not been selected Caliphs, Islam would not have spread to that extent. Hazrat Ali rau was much younger for this uphill task that needed to keep the Muslims united under one banner. He could not establish even his own Rightful Caliphate completely. All the stories concocted later on have no sound proof. Whatever message our beloved Prophet (SAW) received from Almighty Allah was in toto, completely preached by the Prophet (SAW) He didn't hide anything. Those who accuse that the Prophet (SAW) didn't convey all message should be mindful about their Eeman. In his last sermon at Arafaat he rose his finger thrice and said, "O My Allah, you also bear witness that I conveyed to your people all what you revealed to me."
