The Cloth Kaaba Kiswa holds profound spiritual and historical significance in the heart of every Muslim. This elegant black silk cloth, adorned with gold and silver embroidered Quranic verses, is the official covering of the Holy Kaaba in Masjid al-Haram, Makkah. It is not just a piece of fabric, but a sacred symbol of Islam, unity, and devotion to Allah (SWT).

What is the Kaaba Kiswa?

The Kaaba Kiswa (كسوة الكعبة) is a large, ornately embroidered cloth made from pure black silk, used to cover the Kaaba, the most sacred structure in Islam. The Kiswa is approximately 14 meters high and made in several pieces that are sewn together directly on the Kaaba every year on the 9th of Dhul-Hijjah, the day of Arafat during Hajj.

It features Quranic inscriptions meticulously woven in 24-carat gold and silver thread, highlighting verses of tawheed (oneness of Allah), glorification, and supplication. Each verse serves as a reminder of the eternal messages of the Qur’an.

The Making of the Kiswa – A Masterpiece of Faith and Craftsmanship

Crafting the Kiswa is a highly detailed and sacred process carried out by the Kiswah Factory in Makkah, where only the finest materials and expert artisans are employed. The process involves:

  • Over 700 kilograms of silk dyed black

  • Gold and silver threads for the calligraphy

  • A year-long preparation process

  • Supervision by religious authorities and royal officials

The result is a stunning piece of Islamic heritage that not only covers the Kaaba but also reflects centuries of Islamic tradition, reverence, and excellence.

Annual Replacement and Distribution of the Old Kiswa

The old Kiswa is replaced annually and carefully removed, folded, and cut into sections. These pieces are then distributed to:
