Kaaba  n.  (Written also caaba, kaabeh and kaabah)  The small and nearly cubical stone building, in the court of the Great Mosque at Mecca, toward which all Muslims must pray. It contains a sacred black stone, believed by Muslims to be one of the precious stones of paradise, and to have been brought to Abraham when he was contructing the Kaaba, by the Angel Gabriel.
