According to Islamic tradition, the rock is the spot from which Muhammad ascended to Heaven accompanied by the angel Gabriel.
The Foundation Stone and its surroundings is the holiest site in Judaism. Just as Muslims pray towards the Kaaba at Mecca, the holiest site in Islam, Jews pray towards the raised platform on which the Dome of the Rock stands. Jews have traditionally regarded the location of the stone as the holiest spot on Earth, the site of the Holy of Holies during the Temple Period. The Jewish tradition does not have information regarding the exact location of the Holy of Holies, but the majority of scholars and rabbis believe it is somewhere in the area of the raised platform.
The Qur'an states that the Kaaba was constructed by Abraham and his son Ishmael, after Ishmael had settled in Arabia. The building has a mosque built around it, the Masjid al-Haram. All Muslims around the world face the Kaaba during prayers, no matter where they are. Mecca, is also the birthplace of the Prophet Mohammed.

Now, I hope I do not cause any offence to any Muslims around here because thats not my intention. If anyone thinks they might get offended then please do not read this thread, or read at your own risk.

Now, if you measure the distance between the Holy of Holies to the Kaaba in Mecca, the distance you will get is exactly 666 nautical miles.

And that should be around 1233.432 km.. surely a horrible number as well.
Can I ask why this distance would only matter in nautical miles ?edit on 18/9/11 by LanceDH because: typo
