The Greatest 10 Days: History of the Ka’ba

“The Greatest 10 Days: History of the Ka’ba” is an immersive lecture that explores the rich spiritual, historical, and cultural legacy of the Ka’ba—the sacred heart of Islam—within the context of the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah, considered the holiest days in the Islamic calendar. This session traces the Ka’ba’s journey from its origins, built by Prophet Ibrahim (AS) (Abraham) and his son Ismail (AS), through pre-Islamic times, the life of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), and into the modern era. Participants will gain insight into how the Ka’ba has served as a focal point for pilgrimage, and a symbol of unity for Muslims worldwide. The lecture will also reflect on the spiritual significance of the ten days leading up to Eid al-Adha, drawing connections between sacred history and contemporary devotion. Whether you’re a student of Islamic history or a seeker of deeper spiritual understanding, this lecture offers a powerful perspective on why these days—and this sacred structure—remain central to Muslim identity and faith.
