Sacred Places for Islam
Muslims have many sacred places such as their shrines and mosques. Their sacred
places reveal their faith and beliefs about God and the virtues they must learn. To
Muslims, the holiest place reveals their faith and teaches them about love and
goodness that everyone has and that Allah, or God, has given to them.
Also places such as "The Dome of the Rock" teach them about Mohammed, their role
model, leader and founder, and his teachings based on God. These sacred shrines and
mosques are visited on monthly pilgrimages Muslims take. The most holiest place
Muslims believe is Ka'bah which holds the Black Stone of Mecca and is believed to wash
away sins if you kiss or touch it.
