Al-Ka’bah al-Musharrafah

Al-Ka’bah al-Musharrafah

Baitullah. Safa tower is demolished during the picture-taking. The royal palace is clearly seen.

Rukn Yamāni. It's considered as sunnah to touch it every round during circumambulation of Ka'bah. It is believed to be remnants from the original stone used by Prophet Ibrāhīm (peace be upon him) to build the Ka'bah. Shiites claim that Saidina 'Alī karramallu wajhah, The Fourth Caliph, was born at this corner of Ka'bah.

The General Presidency for the Affiars of al-Masjid al-Ḥarām and al-Masjid an-Nabawi has provided live webcam of al-Ka'bah on their official website.
