History of the Kaaba - From Ibrahim to Today

A short, sourced history of the Kaaba in Mecca: the Quranic account of Ibrahim and Ismail, the Quraysh rebuilding in the time of the Prophet (peace be upon him), later rebuildings, and the Kaaba today. Quran and hadith are stated as such, later traditions are labelled as traditions, and where historians differ we say so.
