Paper 3
Revise: Hajj: pilgrimage and issues for British MuslimsWithin its Great Mosque stands the Ka’ba, the cube-shaped building towards which Muslims face when praying. Muslims believe Ibrahim and his son Isma’il built it as a place dedicated to worshipping the one God. Muhammad later restored its monotheistic purpose by removing idols.
Use Qur’an 2:125 to support explanations of the Ka’ba as a sanctuary and place of worship, not simply as a famous building.
