Model of the Ancient Kaaba. Built by Prophet Abraham the Kaaba is a building at the centre of Islam's most sacred mosque, that is Al-Masjid Al-Ḥarām (Arabic: الـمَـسـجِـد الـحَـرَام, The Sacred Mosque), in Mecca, Hejaz, Saudi Arabia.
It is the most sacred site in Islam and is considered by Muslims to be the bayt Allāh, the "House of God". Wherever they are in the world, Muslims are expected to face the Kaaba when performing salat (prayer). From any point in the world, the direction facing the Kaaba is called the Qibla.
Scholars and historians say that the Kaaba has been reconstructed between five to 12 times.
The very first construction of the Kaaba was done by Prophet Adam (peace be upon him). Allah says in the Quran that this was the first house that was built for humanity to worship Allah.
After this, Prophet Ibrahim and Ismail (peace be upon them) rebuilt the Kaaba. The measurements of the Kaaba's Ibrahimic foundation are as follows:
-the eastern wall was 48 feet and 6 inches
-the Hateem side wall was 33 feet
-the side between the black stone and the Yemeni corner was 30 feet
-the Western side was 46.5 feet
