| The Holy City of Makkah
(Mecca) |
| The Holy City of
Makkah, which lies inland 73 kilometers east of Jeddah, is the place where
the Prophet Muhammad,
peace be upon him, was born - the place where God's message was first
revealed to him and the city to which he returned after the migration to
Madinah in 622 AD.
Makkah is the holiest city on earth to Muslims. Five times each day, the world's one billion Muslims, wherever they may be, turn to the Holy City of Makkah to pray. And at least once in their lives, all Muslims who are not prevented by personal circumstance perform the Hajj, the pilgrimage to Makkah. Thus each year the Holy City of Makkah is host to some two million hajjis (pilgrims) from all over the world. The Holy Mosque in Makkah houses the Ka'aba, in the corner of which is set the Black Stone which marks the starting point for the seven circumambulations of the Holy Mosque which every hajji must complete. |
