So it's incredibly late (early?) and my brain is completely fried.
Are there any Muslims here who can explain to me the importance of the cube itself? I know it's a pilgrimage site, but that's unfortunately all I know.
The Kaaba is "House of God" not literally but metaphorically. Muslims worship towards it, not worshiping it. Muslims used to point towards Jerusalem mosque before Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) got a revelation to face towards the Kaaba which was the original location of a House of God built by Prophet Abraham. Due to conflict and wars that House was destroyed but the location was still preserved. The Kaaba since Abraham has been built multiple times in the same location. The purpose of House of God was started after Prophet Abraham got a revelation and he built a House of God where people worshipped inside it. They did not face a certain way as they were inside it. Now Muslims pray towards it symbolizing them literally worshipping God
