Muslims believe that a brilliant white stone fell from heaven during the time of Adam and Eve. Over time, this stone turned black because of the sins which it absorbed. It is believed that Abraham found this rock and the Angel Gabriel brought it to him while he was building the Kaaba.
To this day, the Black Stone is an object of reverence to Muslims. They turn east to face this Stone when they pray five times a day. During the pilgrimage to Mecca, they circle the Kaaba and attempt to kiss the Black Stone as Muhammad once did. If they can't get near to kiss it, Muslims point towards it.how dumb is that ????
there is more !!
