Mecca was an important city for Arabs on the Arabian Peninsula before Islam because it was a pilgrimage site. During the 4th century, pilgrims flocked to the city of Mecca to perform an act of ritual on a small square building called Ka'aba (a cube in Arabic). Pilgrims would walk seven times around the Ka'aba to worship idols that were scattered inside the cube.
