In Islam religion, there is no holier place in the world than the Great Mosque of Mecca, otherwise known as Haram, in Saudi Arabia. As far as spiritual goes, this is the pinnacle of devout treasures because of what it holds. With a vast size of ninety-nine acres, the Great Mosque of Mecca is capable of holding up to four million worshippers during Hajj (prayer). However, it is not the capacity of worshippers that makes this location so important; it is the Kaaba held in the center which is the most precious of all Muslim structures. All Muslims in the world face towards Kaaba during prayer as it is the non-secular compass for Islam. Therefore, all looking for an incredible and overwhelming spiritual phenomenon would do well to observe the Great Mosque during Hajj, though reports indicate this must be from the outside, as it is said only Muslims are permitted inside.
