![]() ![]() The area around the Kaaba where pilgrims walk is called the Mataaf. Circling the Kaaba seven times counterclockwise, known as Tawaf (Arabic: طواف, romanized: tawaaf), is a Fard (obligatory) rite for the completion of the Hajj and Umrah pilgrimages. Īccording to Islam, the Kaaba was rebuilt several times throughout history, most famously by Ibrahim ( Abraham) and his son Ismail ( Ishmael), when he returned to the valley of Mecca several years after leaving his wife Hajar ( Hagar) and Ismail there upon Allah's command. In early Islam, Muslims faced in the general direction of Jerusalem as the qibla in their prayers before changing the direction to face the Kaaba, believed by Muslims to be a result of a Quranic verse revelation to Muhammad. It is considered by Muslims to be the Bayt Allah (Arabic: بَيْت ٱللَّٰه, lit.'House of God') and is the qibla (Arabic: قِبْلَة, direction of prayer) for Muslims around the world. The Kaaba ( Arabic: ٱلْكَعْبَة, romanized: al-Kaʿba, lit.'the Cube', Arabic pronunciation: ), also spelled Ka'ba, Ka'bah or Kabah, sometimes referred to as al-Ka'ba al-Musharrafa (Arabic: ٱلْكَعْبَة ٱلْمُشَرَّفَة, romanized: al-Kaʿba l-Mušarrafa, lit.'the Honored Ka'ba', Arabic pronunciation: ), is a stone building at the center of Islam's most important mosque and holiest site, the Masjid al-Haram in Mecca, Saudi Arabia.

The Gd value is the mean of the La-Sm extrapolation, the Sm-Tb interpolation, and the Yb-Tb extrapolation. Dy, Ho, Er, and Tm values interpolated between Tb and Yb. Pr and Nd values calculated by interpolation between La and Sm. Both the matrix and the clast have Ce anomalies, but the magnitude of the anomalies varies considerably. This is 1 of only 5 lunar meteorites that I know to have a significant negative cerium (Ce) anomaly. The specked white clast is richer in REE as well as more mafic that the matrix. Rare earth element (REE) concentrations in 8 subsamples of NWA 11182. Specimens: 12 g plus a probe mount on deposit at UNM, Ruben Garcia holds the main mass. Agee, UNM) This meteorite consists of primarily feldspathic clasts, microgabbro clasts, and shock melt, some containing vesicles. A saw cut reveals a fragmental breccia with numerous white feldspathic clasts and fine-grained lithic fragments, set in a dark-gray ground mass. Physical characteristics: Single stone, no fusion crust. History: Purchased by Ruben Garcia from Said Haddany in Tucson, 2017.

The light-colored, speckled clast on the left (10.0% FeO gabbro?) is more mafic than the darker glassy matrix on the right (3.7% FeO).
