Adam built the original Ka'bah and that Prophets Abraham and his son Ismail re-built it.
The ceiling and roof are two levels made out of wood constructed with teak and capped with stainless steel. Inside the floor is made of marble and limestone. The interior walls are clad with marble halfway to the roof. The marble is inset with Qur'anic inscriptions.
Three pillars stand inside the Kaaba, with a small altar set between one and the other two. Lamp-like objects hang by a rope above the platform and an enclosed staircase leads to the roof.
