باب الكعبة
The Door of the কাবা শরীফ is one of the most revered features of the sacred house. Originally at ground level during the time of নবী করীম Ibrahim, it was raised by the Quraysh during their reconstruction of the কাবা শরীফ before Islam to control access. The current door was commissioned by King Khalid ibn Abdulaziz in 1979, crafted from 280 kg of pure gold with কুরআনic verses engraved upon it. The door measures approximately 3.06 meters high and 1.68 meters wide. The area between the door and the Hajar al-Aswad (হাজরে আসওয়াদ) is known as the Multazam, a place where dua is especially মুস্তাহাব. The কাবা শরীফ is opened twice a year for an interior cleaning ceremony, and on select occasions for heads of state and dignitaries.
