Which city is home to the cube-shaped shrine known as the Ka'bah?

• A. Medina
• B. Jerusalem
• C. Mecca
• D. Cairo

Answer: (C)

Location and sacred status of the Ka'bah are being tested. The cube-shaped Ka'bah sits at the center of the Grand Mosque in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. It is Islam's holiest site, and Muslims around the world face toward it during prayers (the qibla).Pilgrims perform Tawaf, circling the Ka'bah, as a key rite of both Hajj and Umrah, underscoring its central role in worship. Because the Ka'bah is located in Mecca, that city is the correct answer. Medina is known for the Prophet’s Mosque and his burial place, Jerusalem holds its own significance in Islam, and Cairo is a major city not linked to the Ka'bah. The combination of its cube form, central sacred status, and location makes Mecca the right choice.
