The name of Ka'bah

2-4-2002 | IslamWeb

Question:

Why is the Ka'bah called by this name?
Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger.

 

Imaam Al-Fayyoomi may Allaah have mercy upon him wrote in his book “Al-Misbaah Al-Muneer”, "Al-Ka'bah is so named due to its height and due to its square shape." The Ka'bah also literally means a room.

Allaah Knows best.
