The Sacred Points of the Kaaba

The Kaaba has several sacred points and features that hold great spiritual significance for Muslims:

1. **The Black Stone (Hajar al-Aswad)**: Located at the eastern corner of the Kaaba, this stone is believed to have been sent down from Paradise. Pilgrims try to touch or kiss it during Tawaf, following the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

2. **The Yemeni Corner (Rukn al-Yamani)**: The corner facing Yemen, which pilgrims touch during Tawaf but do not kiss, as it does not contain the Black Stone.

3. **The Multazam**: The area between the Black Stone and the door of the Kaaba, where prayers are especially accepted. Pilgrims press their bodies against this area and make supplications.

4. **The Door of the Kaaba (Bab al-Kaaba)**: Located approximately 2 meters above ground level, the door is made of gold and is opened only for special occasions and cleaning.

5. **The Gutter (Mizab)**: A golden spout on the northern side that channels rainwater from the roof. It is considered blessed, and pilgrims often collect water that flows from it.

6. **The Station of Ibrahim (Maqam Ibrahim)**: A glass and metal enclosure containing the footprint of Prophet Ibrahim, located a few meters from the Kaaba.
