  I was so disappointed when I learned it was covered in a sheet and not made of obsidian

  I always thought the Kaba was a solid block. I had no idea that there was an inside!

  So few things I learned:<br>1. There&apos;s an inside.<br>2. I thought the entire thing was the rock. Just a solid, cube rock.

  &quot;The interior of the Kaaba is off limits to everyone, except some dignitaries, religious scholars, and maintenance workers.&quot; As a child, I grew up Catholic and the Tabernacle where the consecrated host was put on display was off limits to everyone, except for priests, altar boys, and the cleaning lady with a feather duster and a vacuum cleaner.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8XaGhDic3o&amp;t=89">1:29</a> it&apos;s just that so many Muslims want to go there that there isn&apos;t enough room for them anymore، Although Umrah is optional

  My grandfather worked in Saudi Arabia in the 60s as a civilian contractor for the US &amp; Saudi militaries. At the time non-Muslims weren&apos;t allowed into Mecca, but as he was there during the Hajj he still wanted to circle the Kaaba despite being Christian (he is somewhat eccentric) so he circled the entire city seven times in his car. I&apos;m pretty sure that doesn&apos;t &quot;count&quot; lol but he was pretty pleased to do it

  This reminds me, when the first muslims migrated to scandinavia, they came up with different rules about fasting, since, there may be no dawn or dusk up there.

  Praying inside the Kaaba sounds like a math problem. It&apos;s like standing on the North Pole and trying to face South.

  It&apos;s not mentioned in the video, but for those who have not been there, you might have the impression that the floors are probably very dirty because of how many people walk around it (it&apos;s a mosque after all, so one must go barefoot). Actually, the marble floors are super clean because cleaning crews move in between the pilgrims seamlessly, forming wide lines like spokes around the Kaaba, sweeping and mopping at regular and frequent intervals. Plus Muslims ritually cleanse themselves including their feet before prayer/entering the mosque.<br><br>Many poor Muslims also use the mosque as a shelter and you can frequently find people sleeping or resting around the complex (and feeding the stray cats! ❤)
