Black stone of mecca

[Nimrod's Apprentice]

Isnt the black stone of mecca from outer space? Or was given to man by allah for building the kaa ba.

i'm not a muslim, but I think it was a meteor that they found. it used to be a pagan shrine for the local religions but was adopted by islam.

the "black stone" is not a meteor ..but a stone from paradise (heavenly stone). there's not much confirmation around pre- Abraham's time. the current structure of kaa'ba in mecca was built by Abraham and his son Ishmael (peace be upon them both) with the stone bein placed in it

prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him) said: "the black stone has descended from heaven, when it was whiter than milk, but people's sins have blackened it" (source:tirmidhi)
