Makkah is the most sacred place in islam. Makkah is the most popular place for
muslim people. Makkah is place where all muslim people go to visit and pray. All muslims
people anywhere in the world pray toward Makkah. The city located in Saudi Arabia. this city
have great history. I had the chance to visit this city once.It has been a lot of expanded in it. The
city is vary important because it is the place where the prophet Mohammad was born and it has
the Kaaba.

Makkah is the most sacred place in islam. Makkah is significant because it is

considered the first place on earth that god Almighty was worshipped alone. It is said that Adam
and Eve were first expelled from paradise the two were separated Eve in Makkah and Adam in
the far east. After many years of searching for one another. Adam finally managed to make his
way down through the arabian peninsula to Makkah. It was at the top of mount Arafat just out
side the city Makkah where the two were reunited. The history of Makkah goes back to Abraham
,who built the Kaaba with with the help of his elder son Ishmael. When Abraham and Ishmael
had finished building the sacred house there was still one brick that had to be put in its place,
so Abraham sent his son off to find a unique stone, but god Almighty destined that the final

stone was to be laid would not be from the material world,but instead a stone directly from the
heart of paradise the Angle Gabriel then brought the stone down to Abraham, who proceeded to
put it in its proper place. When the stone came down it was pure white color, but due to the
impurities of this world, and the sinfulness of man, the stone slowly began to fade, and turned
black.

When I first went to Makkah I was about 17 year old. I went there with my family. we
went to hotel. we dressed omra dress and we went Kaaba. I was amazed when I saw the big
buildings I was so exited when I saw the Kaaba all the stores about Kaaba came to my mind.
We went to the Kaaba and I saw the black stone and I touched it. We started walking around the
Kaaba for seven times. After we are done we went to the saafa wa almrua and we walked
between them.

The first expanded was since the followers of the prophet Mohammad and the first of
them was the follower Omar. Omar had The expansion of Omar ibn al-Khattab in the
