Makkah al-Mukarramah holds an unparalleled place in the hearts of Muslims. It is home to the Sacred Kaaba—the qiblah to which millions turn in prayer every day, and the destination of pilgrims performing Hajj and Umrah. From every corner of the globe, Muslim hearts yearn for it.

The history of the Kaaba extends deep into time. Narrations mention that the angels were the first to establish this House, before it was rebuilt by Prophet Adam (AS). Later, it was raised again by the Father of Prophets, Ibrahim (PBUH), together with his son Ismail (AS). Over the centuries, the Kaaba has witnessed successive phases of construction and renovation. It encompasses distinctive landmarks, each bearing profound significance:

Situated at the southeastern corner of the Kaaba, the Black Stone holds a revered place in Islam. Narrations state that it descended from Paradise. Pilgrims are encouraged to kiss or touch it during tawaf, emulating the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
This is the stone upon which Prophet Ibrahim (PBUH) stood during the construction of the Kaaba. The imprint of his blessed feet remains visible to this day. Facing the Kaaba’s door, Allah Almighty commanded believers to take it as a place of prayer after tawaf: “And take the standing place of Ibrahim as a place of prayer.” [Surat al-Baqarah 2:125]

It is part of the Sacred Kaaba and a distinguished landmark of Masjid al-Haram. Situated on the eastern wall between the Black Stone corner and the Kaaba’s door, it is revered as a place where prayers are answered. It was named “Multazam” because worshippers cling to it in earnest supplication to Allah.

Hijr Ismail, also known as Al-Hijr or Al-Hatim, is the northern semi-circular section of the Kaaba, enclosed by a low white marble wall. It is one of the most prominent features of the Grand Mosque and holds a deep historical connection to the construction of the Kaaba.
Originally, this area was part of the Kaaba itself. However, when the Quraysh rebuilt the Kaaba before the Prophetic mission, they shortened its boundaries to reduce costs, leaving this section outside the main structure. For this reason, Ismail’s Stone is considered part of the Kaaba, and praying within it is equivalent to praying inside the Kaaba itself.
