Experience the Divine Presence: Original Kaaba Kiswa Cloth

The Kaaba Kiswa is more than a piece of cloth—it is a sacred Islamic relic that embodies centuries of tradition, deep spiritual meaning, and a physical connection to the House of Allah in Makkah. Woven from the finest silk and embroidered with Quranic verses in gold and silver thread, the authentic Kiswah cloth once covered the Kaaba, Islam’s holiest site. For Muslims across the globe, possessing a genuine piece of the Kiswa is a profound honor and a symbol of unwavering faith.

What Is the Kaaba Kiswa?

The Kiswa is the sacred black silk covering draped over the Kaaba, located in the Masjid al-Haram in Makkah, Saudi Arabia. This majestic cloth is changed once a year during Hajj, specifically on the 9th day of Dhul Hijjah.

Each Kiswa weighs over 670 kg, is composed of pure silk, and embroidered with over 120 kg of gold and silver threads. The cloth is adorned with intricate Islamic calligraphy, bearing powerful verses from the Holy Quran, including:

  • Surah Al-Ikhlas

  • Surah Al-Fatiha

  • Surah Al-Baqarah (Ayat al-Kursi)

  • The Shahada (Declaration of Faith)

These inscriptions reflect themes of monotheism, divine mercy, and the eternal greatness of Allah.

How Is the Kaaba Kiswa Made?

The Kiswa is crafted at the Kiswah Factory in Makkah, an institution supervised by the Saudi Royal Court. The process involves:

  • Importing and dyeing high-grade silk threads.

  • Embroidering verses using 24-karat gold and pure silver thread.

  • Involving over 200 skilled artisans including calligraphers, weavers, and craftsmen.

  • Completing the production over a span of 8 to 12 months.

This attention to detail, spiritual intention, and reverent craftsmanship ensures that each piece of Kiswa is not only aesthetic, but also immensely spiritual and historically significant.

Authenticity and Certification

Every piece of the original Kaaba Kiswa cloth offered through our platform is certified and verified. When purchasing from us, you will receive:

  • A Certificate of Authenticity (COA) issued by recognized Saudi religious bodies or authorized collectors.

  • Provenance information, detailing the origin, year, and portion of the Kaaba from which the cloth was taken.

Our goal is to offer only genuine, traceable, and authenticated Kiswah relics, giving our customers complete confidence in their acquisition.

Why Own a Piece of the Kaaba Kiswa?

1. Deep Spiritual Connection

The Kaaba is the qibla (direction of prayer) for over 1.9 billion Muslims worldwide. Owning a piece of its covering—the Kaaba Kiswa—is a direct connection to the spiritual center of Islam.

2. Rare and Limited Islamic Relic

After each new Kiswa is installed, the old cloth is carefully removed, preserved, and cut into sections. These are distributed only to royal families, Islamic dignitaries, museums, and certified sellers. Only a limited number of authentic Kiswah pieces are available for public acquisition.

3. A Legacy Heirloom

The Kaaba Kiswa is a timeless Islamic artifact that can be preserved and passed down through generations. It is both a personal relic of faith and a family treasure that carries immeasurable historical and emotional value.

Gifting a Kiswah piece is akin to giving a portion of Makkah, a gesture that carries profound barakah and emotional meaning.

Where and How to Display Your Kaaba Kiswa

Preservation Tips

To ensure the long-term care of your Kiswa cloth:

  • Store in cool, dry environments away from sunlight.

  • Use UV-protected glass for framing.

  • Avoid contact with moisture or strong odors.

These steps help maintain the cloth’s color, texture, and embroidery for decades.
