Mr. Shreekant, hr is some history of KAABA, the House of Heaven. In Sura 3 Verse 90 Qora%u2019an says %u201CAllah has spoken the Truth, therefore follow the creed of Ibrahim, a man of pure faith and no idolater%u201D. The first house established for the people was at Makka, a Holy place and a guidance to all beings. Qora%u2019an firmly establishes the fact that Ibrahim was the real founder of the Holy Shrine. Prophet Ibrahim built this House for devout worship to one God. But within his lifetime people disobeyed his orders and began to put idols inside the Kaaba. Ibrahim had to clean the House of these idols and of Idle worshippers. He told the people that this was a symbolic house of God. God does not live there for He is everywhere. People did not understand this logic and no sooner had Ibrahim died the people, out of reverence, filled the place with idols again. They thronged to this place annually and worshipped their personal gods, It was over Four Thousand years later that the last of the line of prophet (SA), Muhammad Ibne Abdullah entered Makka triumphantly, went inside the Ka%u2019aba and, with the help of his cousin and son in law Ali Ibne Abi Talib, (AS) destroyed all the idols of Ka%u2019aba with their own hands. At one stage of this destruction of idols, the tallest of the idol Hubbol was brought down after Ali had to stand on the shoulders of the Prophet to carry out God%u2019s orders. The Prophet of Islam was reciting the Verse from the Qur%u2019an %u201CTruth hath come and falsehood hath vanished.%u201D
