*Ka’aba (Arabic, ka’bah,* a square house).**

A shrine of Mecca, said to have been built by Abraham on the spot where Adam first worshipped after his expulsion from Paradise. In the north-east corner is a stone seven inches long, said to be a ruby sent down from heaven. It is now black, from being kissed so often by sinful man. (See ADAM’S PEAK.)	1
