Mecca and Medina (Kaaba)
Muslims from all over the world go to Saudi Arabia, a Middle Eastern nation, as their spiritual home. Mecca and Medina, which are revered by a billion Muslims worldwide as sacred cities, are largely to blame for this.
The Kaabah is located in Masjidul Haram in Mecca. It is a cubical structure that Prophet Ibrahim and his son Ismaeel first constructed. The final Messenger of God, the Holy Prophet (PBUH), is buried in Madinah. Non-Muslims are not allowed in Makkah or Madinah, which are twin cities.
The Muslim population has a distinct spiritual connection to Madinah and Makkah. When a believer enters these cities, they are overcome by intense emotion.
