The Kaaba and Al-Masjid Al-Haram enjoy a grand status long before the advent of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) as the first place on earth dedicated for worshiping Allah. However, the Kaaba was not selected as the Muslims’ Qiblah at the beginning. Rather, Masjid Al Aqsa (Bait Al Maqdis) was the direction towards which Muslims prayed for years in Makkah and in Madinah. So what happened then? And why do Muslims face Kaaba now?
