The Original Cloth Kaaba Kiswa is more than a beautiful fabric—it is a revered symbol of Islamic spirituality, heritage, and divine craftsmanship. Once covering the Holy Kaaba in Masjid al-Haram, Makkah, the Kiswa is a living piece of sacred history. Crafted from the finest silk and embroidered with 24-carat gold and pure silver threads, this relic is now available to be cherished in Muslim homes around the world.

As believers seek to bring barakah and spiritual connection into their lives, owning a piece of the authentic Kaaba Kiswa is one of the most profound expressions of faith and love for the Divine.

What is the Original Kaaba Kiswa?

The Kiswa is the magnificent black cloth that wraps the Kaaba. It is replaced annually on the 9th of Dhul Hijjah, during the Hajj pilgrimage. The previous year’s Kiswa is then carefully cut and preserved, with select pieces distributed by the Saudi government to diplomats, religious institutions, and collectors.

Each Kiswa cloth is woven from black silk and richly embroidered with gold and silver Quranic verses, reflecting a tradition that spans over a millennium. Owning even a small portion of this sacred covering is considered a high honor among Muslims.

Historical and Spiritual Significance

A Relic Touched by Millions of Prayers

For an entire year, the Kiswa is exposed to the heartfelt prayers, tawaf (circumambulation), and supplications of millions of Muslims. Its fibers carry the collective devotion of the Ummah, making it more than fabric—it becomes a living relic infused with spiritual energy and sacred remembrance.

Islamic Art and Calligraphy

The Kiswa is adorned with intricately designed calligraphic inscriptions of selected Quranic verses such as Surah Al-Ikhlas, Surah Al-Fatiha, and Ayat al-Kursi. Each word is woven with precise attention to beauty, forming a masterpiece of Islamic art and devotion.
