Architecture of Kaaba (Internal Structure of Kaaba)

The Kaaba is the building towards which Muslims face five times a day, everyday, in prayer. This has been the case since the time of Prophet Muhammad sallalahu alaihi wasallam over 1400 years ago.

The other names of the Kaaba

Literally, Kaaba in Arabic means a high place with respect and prestige. The word Kaaba may also be derivative of a word meaning a cube.

Some of these other names include:
Bait ul Ateeq-which means, according to one meaning, the earliest and ancient. According to the second meaning, it means independent and liberating. Both meanings could be taken
Bait ul Haram-the honorable house

The Kaaba has been reconstructed up to 12 times

Scholars and historians say that the Kaaba has been reconstructed between five to 12 times.
The very first construction of the Kaaba was done by Prophet Adam (peace be upon him). Allah says in the Quran that this was the first house that was built for humanity to worship Allah.
After this, Prophet Ibrahim and Ismail (peace be upon them) rebuilt the Kaaba.

The Size of the Kaba:

-The eastern wall was 48 feet and 6 inches
-The Hateem side wall was 33 feet
-The side between the black stone and the Yemeni corner was 30 feet
-The Western side was 46.5 feet
-The current height of the Kaba is 39 feet, 6 inches and total size comes to 627 square feet.
-The inside room of the Kaba is 13X9 meters. The Kaba's walls are one meter wide. The floor inside is 2.2 meters higher than the place where people perform Tawaf.
-The ceiling and roof are two levels made out of wood. They were reconstructed with teak which is capped with stainless steel.
-The walls are all made of stone. The stones inside are unpolished, while the ones outside are polished.
-This small building has been constructed and reconstructed by Prophets Adam, Ibrahim, Ismail and Muhammad (peace be upon them all). No other building has had this honor.

Reconstruction of the Kaaba In 1996

A major reconstruction of the Kaaba took place between May 1996 and October 1996.

This was after a period of about 400 years (since Sultan Murad Khan's time).
During this reconstruction the only original thing left from the Kaaba are the stones. All other material has been replaced including the ceiling and the roof and its wood.

Dr. Muzammil Siddiqi is the president of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA). He had the opportunity to go inside the Kaaba in October 1998. In an interview with Sound Vision, he described the following features:
-there are two pillars inside (others report 3 pillars)

-the space can accommodate about 50 people
-there are no electric lights inside
-the walls and floors are of marble
-there are no windows inside
