What you termed as "the old temple" in Mecca is not really a temple. It is regarded as the House of Allah where Muslims face when they pray to Allah. It is called the "Kaabah". Muslims all over the world will face towards the 'Kaabah' when they perform their prayers. Muslims also circle the Kaabah seven times anticlockwise when the perform the ritual 'Tawaf' during the Hajj season as one of the seven mandatory acts of the Total Hajj Pilgrimage.
