What is the Ka'ba?

The Ka'ba is the place of worship which God commanded Abraham and Ishmael to build cover four thousand years ago. The building was constructed of stone on what many believe was the original site of a sanctuary established by Adam. God commanded Abraham to summon all mankind to visit this place, and when pilgrims go there today they say ` At The service, O Lord', in response to Abraham's summons.
