Kaaba Dressed in New Outfit for 1448 AH
The Holy Kaaba is adorned with its new mantle for the year 1448 AH, which took 11 months to produce by 150 Saudi craftsmen and artisans. A total of 47 pieces of black silk were crafted, embroidered with 30 Quranic verses using silver threads plated with gold, bringing the total weight of the covering to 1,410 kilograms. The manufacturing process involved meticulous stages, starting with water purification and silk washing, followed by weaving and embroidery, and concluding with the secure transportation of the Kiswah around the Maqam (the Maqam Ibrahim) in the Masjid al-Haram.
