Kaaba

**__Summary__**:
The Kaaba is large cube that can fit roughly 50 people although only a couple are allowed in on rare occasions to clean it and refresh the oils and scents. Its located in Mecca, Saudi Arabia and is the most holy place in all of Islam. All Muslims must face toward it while praying, and for one of the five pillars of Islam you must journey to the Kaaba and attempt to kiss one of the corner stones. Its made of granite, there are three pillars inside, and there are 2 lanterns in there. There is no electric light bulbs, but there is one door and no windows. It is covered by a cloth called a Kiswa, it i s died black and it i s made of pure silver and gold. It i s changed every year and it costs 17 million dollars. It was originally made by Adam to store an asteroid that he was given after leaving the garden of Eden. It was later rebuilt by Abraham.

The kaaba is very important to the Islam religion. This structure acts as a focal point of pilgrimage and prayer and attracts Muslims from all around the world. (Good) Thousands of people each year travel to Mecca to complete the hajj, and pay their respects to the great monument. During the hajj, people walk around the kaaba several times in unison with one another. They keep track of the number of times they circle by counting the number of times they see the black stone that is embedded in one of the corners. Many people feel the need to touch or even kiss the stone. Throughout the day as Muslims around pray, the always face the kaaba whether they be near it or across the world. The doors of the kaaba are situated in the northern wall and the whole structure is covered with a black cloth embroidered with golden calligraphy. How does this fit? Seems like a fact for your description paragraph Each year, a new one of these drapes replaces the preexisting,representing a cleansing of the holy sanctuary. Since the death of the prophet Muhammad, the structure has been rebuilt several times. Each time, they architects have treid to use the preexisting materials, but at the same time, make it even more grand and more spectacular than before. This paragraph starts strong but devolves away from an emphasis on a focal point of the religion and becomes a description. Stay focussed.
