Ra of Abu Dhar, he said, "I asked, 'Messenger of Allah, Which mosque was first built?" He replied, 'Haram'. I asked, 'Then (the mosque) where? " He replied, 'Then the Aqsa Mosque'. I asked, 'What is the distance between the two? " He replied, "Forty years. After the prayer meet you anywhere after that, then pray, because there is virtue to him." (Bukhari-Muslim)
Inside the Grand Mosque Kaaba there is a direction of the Qibla of Muslims during prayer times. The mosque was first built by the Caliph Omar permanently bin Al-Khattab in the year 638 AD
In the reign of Abdurrahman bin Zubair who ruled the Hijaz region, building the Kaaba made as the hadith of the Prophet peace be upon him about the foundation of Prophet Ibrahim. But because there were wars with Abdul Malik bin Marwan, ruler of Syria, the Kaaba on fire due to fire thrower (Manjaniq) owned Syrian troops.
So Abdul-Malik ibn Marwan who later became caliph, the renovation of the building back to the Kaaba by the renovation of the Holy Prophet at the age of 30 years, not based on the foundation that built Prophet Ibrahim. In its history the Kaaba several times been damaged by war and age of the building.
In the reign of Caliph Harun al-Rashid, Abbasid ruler Daula, he plans to renovate the back Kaaba in accordance with the foundation of Prophet Ibrahim and Prophet desired. But the intention is prevented by Imam Malik, one of the leading scholars, because it feared it would become a holy building khilafiyah problem by ruling later and could result in unloading pairs of the Kaaba. So until now the Kaaba building renovation and equipment in accordance with the Caliph Abdul Malik bin Marwan.
From time to time-Haram always experience the renewal and expansion, initiated by the Muslim caliphs who gives attention to the Grand Mosque. Large-scale development in the history initiated by King Fahd bin Abdul Aziz, who holds a "waiter Two Holy City of Makkah and Madinah."

And now, the Grand Mosque was like a concrete jungle surrounded by challenging the sky. Makkah Construction seems to speed up in anticipation of increasingly membludaknya pilgrims, both Hajj or Umrah, who came to Mecca each year. Now estimated at 2.5 million people have attended these holy rituals.
Because of the rapid development around the Grand Mosque, pilgrims sometimes wonder and awe. Fact, not rare or Umrah pilgrims who are confused and get lost looking for the road to the Grand Mosque and when returning to the inn.
However, modernity and the rapid development of the Grand Mosque and its surroundings, do not reduce the primacy of worship in this holy place.

Inside the building there is a rock where the Prophet Ibrahim when he built the Kaaba stand together as his son Prophet Ismail.
In addition, in the Grand Mosque are also Multazam, which lies between the Black Stone and the door of the Kaaba, a distance of approximately two meters.
