Mecca, the birthplace of Islam, and the religious center to which hundreds of millions of Muslims turn towards daily in prayer, is the holiest city in Islam. Only Muslims are allowed in the city, with millions arriving for the annual Hajj (pilgrimage).
Dating from the seventh century, the central Masjid al-Haram (Sacred Mosque) surrounds the Kaaba, the cloth-covered cubic structure that is Islam’s most sacred shrine.
Islam originated approximately 1,400 years ago in the nation of Saudi Arabia when the founder, Muhammad, declared that no other religion should exist on the Arabian Peninsula. This is still the official doctrine today in that no other religions can be practiced openly, though there is some level of tolerance for non-Muslim private religious practices.
“But the seed falling on good soil refers to someone who hears the word and understands it.”
Matthew 13:23 (NIV)
