Some Iraqi Shias trigger anger by installing fake model of Kaaba

Twitterers have widely shared photos and videos for a Kaaba fake model in Karbala’s city in Iraq made by some Shias. The model is believed to be installed near the shrine of Imam Hussein Bin Ali Bin Abi Talib.

The videos showed a group of Iraqis gathering next to a Kaaba model circling around it and some people have started to even kiss it as if it was the real one.

Muslims across social media platforms have denounced the act saying that it is an offensive move against the Islamic world and it’s also considered as a transgression of the Islamic sanctities.

The original ‘Holly Kaaba’, which is located in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, is a building at the center of Islam's most important mosque, Al-Masjid Al-Haram. It is the most sacred site according to Muslims.

The Qur'an contains several verses regarding the origin of the Kaaba. It states that the Kaaba was the first House of Worship for mankind and that it was built by Ibrahim and Ismail.
