Rare footage from inside the Ka'bah, Mecca Video-ARIF

ALL MUSLIMS around the world face the Kaaba during prayers, no matter where they are.
The Kaaba is covered by a black silk and gold curtain known as the kiswah, which is replaced yearly. About two-thirds of the way up runs a band of gold-embroidered calligraphy with Qur'anic text, including the Islamic declaration of faith, the ShahadaThe Kaaba is a large masonry structure roughly the shape of a cube. It is made of granite from the hills near Mecca, and stands upon a 25 cm (10 in) marble base, which projects outwards about 35 cm (14 in). It is approximately 13.1 m (43 ft) high, with sides measuring 11.03 m (36.2 ft) by 12.86 m (42.2 ft).

cant you read the comments before you ? i am balik islam, we muslims pray to allah, .not on kabaah.. it only guided us where to face, to be united.. i dont see any religion praying 5 times..ive been into some religion before.. islam is the religion of peace..

@joroma77 muslims don't pray to the cube.....they pray to God. The kaba provides a direction of prayer. And I don't find praying 5 times everyday to God weird, but what I do find weird, is only "worshiping" one day a week.

The door to the basement has graven images of the sun and the moon.

Which of these are all Muslims in Mecca worshipping toward?

JazakAllah The Kaabah is only the kiblat (direction for prayer) because we muslim believe God is everywhere. To show that muslim are all united everybody must pray towards one kiblat (direction) We worship Allah alone and not the Kaabah

Examine yourselves, muslims. Praying to a cubic temple covered with black garment? You don't find that weird?
