Inside Mecca, National Geographic
 "Truly, Mecca is a city like no other. At its heart is a great mosque called the al-Masjid al Haram, and at its center is the Kaaba, the 50-foot tall, black-draped shrine that is Islam's most revered structure. While there are many stories detailing its origins, according to Islamic teachings God commanded the Prophet Abraham to raise the foundations of the Kaaba as a place for worship. Thousands of years later, after the Kaaba had become a center of pagan worship, the Prophet Muhammad cleansed it of its many idols and rededicated it to the worship of the one God, who in Arabic is called Allah. Today, pilgrims retrace the steps of Abraham and Muhammad as they perform the rites of the hajj with their fellow pilgrims."
— Iyad Madani, Saudi Arabia's Minister of Hajj
