Synopsis

Fourteen centuries of sacred history, told completely for the first time in a single volume.

A film version of this story is available on the @WhisperedVowsStories YouTube channel.

From the Quranic account of Ibrahim raising the foundations, through the Year of the Elephant, the Conquest of Makkah, the burnings and sieges, the stolen Black Stone, the Ottoman centuries, to the sanctuary of today — this is the story of the House that millions circle and billions face in prayer.

Drawing on the Quran, the hadith, and the great classical historians — al-Azraqi, al-Tabari, Ibn Hisham, Ibn Kathir — and illustrated with 42 artistic reconstructions, this book tells the Kaaba’s story with the accuracy a sacred subject demands: where sources disagree, the disagreement is shown; where certainty is claimed, the evidence warrants it.

No prophet is depicted in any illustration, in keeping with Islamic reverence.
