The Holiest Place on Earth الحرم المكى

Al-Masjid al-Ḥarām (المسجد الحرام "The Sacred Mosque"), is the largest mosque in the world. Located in the city of Mecca, it surrounds the Kaaba, the place which Muslims turn towards while offering daily prayer and is considered to be the holiest place on Earth by Muslims. The mosque is also commonly known as the Haram or Haram Sharif.

Islamic tradition holds that the mosque was first built by the angels before the creation of mankind, when God ordained a place of worship on Earth to reflect the house in heaven called al-Baytu l-Ma'mur (Arabic: البيت المعمور, "The Worship Place of Angels"). Al-Baytu l-Ma'mur is believed to be located in heaven directly above the Kaaba. The first Kaaba was built by angels and Adam was the first human to re-build it. From time to time the mosque was destroyed and rebuilt anew. According to popular belief it was famously built by Ibrahim (Abraham), with the help of his son Ismael. They were ordered by Allah to build the mosque, and the Kaaba. The Black Stone is situated near the eastern corner of the Kaaba, and according to some people is believed to have 'fallen from heaven' and turned black due to man's misdeeds. Others believe it is only a mark to start the circumambulation around the Kaaba. The Kaaba is the direction for all the Muslims to pray across the globe thus signifying unity among all. The Islamic teaching specifically mentions that nothing is magical about Masjid-ul-haram except for the oasis ZamZam which has never dried ever since it was revealed.

" And when We assigned to Abraham the place of the House (Kaaba), saying: Do not associate with Me aught, and purify My House for those who make the circuit and stand to pray and bow and prostrate themselves. "
[Qur'an 22:26]

" And when Abraham and Ishmael raised the foundations of the House (Kaaba): Our Lord! accept from us; surely Thou art the Hearing, the Knowing. "
[Qur'an 2:127]

Your book took scriptures from the Torah.. Islam use to face Jerusalem and because Muhammad couldn't convert the Jews he turn his back to them to face makkah a trading port.. And called it holy. And again your Islam was created in a.d. Which means it came from something else... Umm why do catholics and Islam stand side by side

And again 786 what prophecy? Your own book tells you that prophets come through the lineage of Issac not Ismael.. You own book.. And Muhammad is from Ismael.. Your own book condems u. How is it that Islam was created by your "prophet" after Christ was already in the earth and gone. You talk about how we grab bits of your scripture when
