The Kabah
The Kabah is a cubic building built by the
Prophet Abraham (pbuh) situated at the centre of the Sacred Mosque in
Mecca.

The pilgrims visit the Kabah in Mecca and walk around it
seven times.Muslims believe
that the Kabah was built by the
Prophet Abraham (pbuh) and his son,
Ishmail (pbuh) 4000 years ago.

What do they wear?
The cloth of the pilgrim is known as ‘ihram’. White cloth is worn so all people are equal, whether rich
or poor.

They run between two mounts called ‘Safa’ and ‘Marwa’.

This action helps the pilgrims to remember an
important person in Muslim history. Hagar and her son, Ishmail,
were left in the desert without water. Hagar
was searching for water for her son. The story says that Ishmail dug his heels into the sand and a spring of water
gushed forth.
A well still remains here and pilgrims drink from it. The well is known as
‘Zam Zam.’

stone pillars which symbolise the devil.

Finally the pilgrims return to Mecca to
the Kabah and circle it seven times again. Once the pilgrims have completed all
the rituals they are given a new title. A man is now a ‘Hajji’
and a woman a ‘Hajja’.
