Кааба is a cube-shaped structure located in the center of the Мечеть аль-Харам in Мекка, Саудовская Аравия. It is considered the most sacred site in Ислам and serves as the qibla, the direction Muslims face during prayer. The structure is made of granite and is covered with a black silk cloth known as the кисва. Every year, millions of Muslims visit the Кааба as part of the Хадж, the pilgrimage that is one of the Five Pillars of Ислам. The Кааба is believed to have been built by the prophets Ибрахим and Исмаил and holds great historical and spiritual significance for Muslims around the world.
