2) The Kaaba is the most sacred shrine in Islam.
2002 World Book Encyclopedia: Kaaba, pronounced KAH buh, also spelled Caaba, is the most sacred shrine of Islam. It is a small, cube-shaped building with a flat roof near the center of the Great Mosque in Mecca. Muslims everywhere turn their faces toward the Kaaba when they pray. The famous Black Stone, enclosed in a silver ring, rests in the eastern corner of the Kaaba. According to Muslim tradition, the Kaaba was originally built by Abraham and Ishmael (also called Ibrahim and Isma'il), and the Black Stone was given to Abraham by the angel Gabriel. The Kaaba is the chief goal of the annual pilgrimage of Muslims. Pilgrims run and walk around it seven times, praying and reciting verses from the Quran. They touch or kiss the stone to end the ceremony.
