The Kaaba is a cube-shaped sanctuary at the center of the Great Mosque in Mecca and the holiest site in Islam. Muslims around the world face it during daily prayer, and pilgrims circle it during the Hajj and Umrah rites. Revered as a house of worship associated with Abrahamic tradition, it functions less as a building to be entered than as a focal point—symbolizing unity, orientation, and continuity across the global Muslim community.
