Ka‘bah artwork by Mihraan Ibne Saad
Mihraan Ibne Saad’s artwork of the Ka‘bah, submitted with his Dhul-Hijjah reflection.

Light editorial correction: the submitted text used “Qabaa”; the public version uses “Ka‘bah”, which appears to be the intended meaning.

Ka‘bah is located at Makkah, Saudi Arabia. Ka‘bah was built by Adam Alaihisalam first, then built by Ibrahim and Ismail Alaihimassalam second and built by Quraysh and Prophet Muhammad Sallallahualaihiwasallam third. Ka‘bah is one of the holiest masjid in Islam. If I read two rakaahs of salaah at Ka‘bah, I will get 1000 rewards by Allah. I want to look at the Ka‘bah with my own eyes, because Prophet Muhammad Sallallahualaihiwasallam and his companions would spent time at the Ka‘bah. Every year people go to the Ka‘bah to Hajj and to make dua at Arafah's Maidan then they sacrifice animals for Allah. This pillar of Hajj came from Ibrahim Alaihisalam when he was about to sacrifice his Son Ismail Alaihisalam. I want to have a full Ramadan at Ka‘bah. Allah will be the Host, I will be the guest. What a beautiful thing. I want to die over there, Allah accept me very soon.
