Talk:Islamic mythology/Comments

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As stated in the article "Kaaba - a large cube of black stone that Muslims visit while on the Hajj (pilgrimage to Mecca). In Islamic mythology, Abraham and Ishmael built the Kaaba at God's request, to serve as the earthly counterpart of the heavens. Adam built the original earthly Kaaba, but Abraham and his son had to rebuilt it."

Just shows how ignorant the writers of Wikipedia are. The Kaaba is not built of a black stone. It is bult of grey stones from around Mecca. It is covered with a black cloth that gives the impression of it being a black cube. The cloth is changed annually around the time of the Hajj. However there is a black stone fixed into the Kaaba on one of it's corneres. The origin of the stone is however disputed.

I would like to see such misinformation cleared out in Wikipedia as it is a great cause of the disrepute of this free encyclopedia.
