The Inscribed Marble Stones Inside the Holy Ka’bah

There are eight marble stones inscribed in the Thulth calligraphic style inside the Holy Ka’bah and one stone inscribed with Kufic style. The Kufic plate has letters made of coloured marble pieces in an inlaid base. All these plaques were inscribed before the sixth century Hijrah.

On the eastern wall and between the door of the Holy Ka’bah and Tawbah Door, there is a document from the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques (may Allah protect him) inscribed on a marble plate, indicating the date of the renovations of the Holy Ka’bah completed by him.

The total number of the inscribed, white marble plaques inside the Holy Ka’bah is ten. All these plaques are 144 centimetres above the marble floor of the Holy Ka’bah except the stone laid above the door of the Holy Ka’bah. From within, this stone is more than two metres above the floor. These plaques are detailed in the following designs.
