The Kaaba alsharifa

The Kaaba is the qiblah of Muslims in their prayers, and around it they circumambulate during the performance of the Hajj. It is also the first house to be placed on earth, and it is not possible to mention the Sacred Mosque without mentioning the Kaaba, as the history of the mosque begins with the date of the construction of the Kaaba. Muslims believe that those who built the Kaaba for the first time were the angels before Adam, and one of its names is also the Sacred House, and it was called that because God forbade fighting in it, and it is the holiest place on earth. God Almighty commanded the Prophet Abraham to raise the foundations of the Kaaba, and his son Ismail helped him build it. The Kaaba is located approximately in the middle of the Sacred Mosque in the form of a large room with a high building that is square in shape, and its height is 13.1 meters, and the length of the side that contains its door is twelve meters, and so is the one that faces it. In the era of Ismail, rather, its height was nine cubits, and it was without a roof, and it had a door attached to the ground, until a follower came and made a roof for it, then Abdul Muttalib bin Hashem came after him and made an iron door for it and decorated it with gold, and he was the first to decorate the Kaaba with gold
