According to legend, the stone turned black from its original white colour due to absorbing the sins of the many pilgrims who have come into contact with it over the years. The Black Stone is a sacred artefact that dates back to Adam and Eve. The Prophet Ibrahim set the black stone into the eastern corner of the Kaaba, which Muslims believe fell from the skies.
During their five daily prayers, observant Muslims across the world face the Kaaba.

The Kaaba is a structure in Makkah that stands in the heart of Islam's most significant mosque, the Masjid al-Haram.
