What is the Ka'aba?:

Introduction: What is the Ka'aba?:

The Ka'aba (literally "the cube" in Arabic) is an ancient stone structure that was built and re-built by prophets as a house of monotheistic worship. It is located inside the Grand Mosque in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. The Ka'aba is considered the center of the Muslim world, and is a unifying focal point for Islamic worship.

Description:

The Ka'aba is a semi-cubic building that stands about 15 meters high and 10-12 meters wide. It is an ancient, simple structure made of granite. In the SE corner, a black meteorite (the "Black Stone") is embedded in a silver frame. Stairs on the north side lead to a door which allows entry to the interior, which is hollow and empty. The Ka'aba is covered with a kiswah, a black silk cloth which is embroidered in gold with verses from the Qur'an. The kiswah is re-done and replaced once a year.

Defination of Hajj

Hajj, the pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia,

1 of the 5 basic requirements (arkan or "pillars") of Islam. Its annual observance corresponds to the main holy day id al-adha, itself a commemoration of Abraham's readiness to sacrifice his son on Divine orders. While the hajj could be a religious obligation to be fulfilled a minimum of once within the course of the life of each Muslim, non secular law grants many exclusions on grounds of hardship. The hajj may be a series of extensively detailed rituals. These embody wearing a special garment that symbolizes unity and modesty, collective circumambulations of the Kaaba, and therefore the symbolic stoning of evil.
