Why do Muslims have to pray towards Kaaba in Makkah?
Allah chose Ka’aba as a source of Unity for all the Muslims all over the world. Ka’aba was the First House of Worship to Allah on this planet earth. Adam and Eve were instructed to build Ka’aba. Angel Gabriel was sent by Allah to show them the way and to help them build the Ka’aba. Muslims all over the world are being blessed by Allah, that Ka’aba has become a source of Unity five times a day. It is also a source of Unity during Pilgrimage (Hajj). Ka’aba brings Muslims in their memories with Adam and Eve, and later with Prophet Ibrahim and his son Ismail who reconstructed it again.
