What is The Black Stone: History and Significance about?

The Black Stone is a sacred black rock set into the eastern corner of the Kaaba in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. It is revered by Muslims and dates back to pre-Islamic times. According to Islamic tradition, it was set in place intact by the prophet Muhammad in 605 CE. Since then it has been broken into fragments and is now cemented into a silver frame. The stone is an important site of ritual during the hajj pilgrimage, with pilgrims circling the Kaaba and many trying to kiss the Black Stone.
