'''The pillars of the Ka'ba''' are the four corners of this structure, each facing one of the four cardinal directions: east, west, north, and south. Each corner is called a "Rukun," and they are as follows: the Rukun al-Hajar al-Aswad (eastern), the Rukun al-Shami (western), the Rukun al-Iraqi (northern), and the Rukun al-Yamani (southern).

==Overview==
The [[Ka'ba]] is a square building with four pillars, each called a "rukn" (pillar), and collectively known as the "arkan al-Ka'ba" (pillars of the Ka'ba).

Each of these pillars has other names as well. For example, each pillar is named after the direction it faces: the Iraqi pillar, the Levantine (Shami) pillar, and the Yemeni pillar.

The pillars of the Ka'ba are significant in the positioning of certain rituals and rites of Hajj. For instance, the pillar of the Black Stone (Hajar al-Aswad) marks the starting and ending point of the [[Tawaf]] .<ref>Ṣabrī Pāshā, Ayyūb. ''Mawsūʿa mirʾāt al-ḥaramayn'', vol. 2, p. 264.</ref>

==Hajar al-Aswad pillar==
{{main|Hajar al-Aswad pillar}}
The eastern pillar, known as the pillar of the Black Stone (Rukn al-Hajar al-Aswad), is the starting point of the Tawaf. This pillar is located in the southeast of the [[Ka'ba]].<ref>Azraqī, '' Akhbār Makkah'', Vol. 1, p. 65; Kurdī,''Al-Tārīkh al-qawīm li Makka wa bayt Allāh al-karīm'', vol.3, p. 236; Ibn Jubayr,''Riḥla Ibn Jubayr'', p. 53.</ref>
This pillar is the closest to the entrance of the Ka'ba and is opposite [[the Zamzam well]]. Facing the pillar of the Black Stone is the famous [[Mount Abu Qubays]].<ref>Maqdisī al-Bashārī, '' Aḥsan al-taqāsīm fī maʿrifat al-aqālīm'', p. 72.</ref> [[The Multazam]] is a part of the Ka'ba's wall near this corner.

==Iraqi pillar==
The Iraqi Corner (Rukn al-Iraqi) is the second corner of the Ka'ba encountered in the path of the Tawaf.<ref>Baghdādī, ''Marāṣid al-ʾiṭṭlāʿ ʿlā ʾasmāʾi al-amkina wa al-buqāʿ'', vol. 2, p. 629; Fārisī al-Aṣṭakhrī, ''Al-Masālik wa al-mamālik'', p. 16.</ref>

This pillar is famous as the Iraqi pillar because it is located towards [[Iraq]] and serves as the [[qibla]] for the people of Iraq.<ref>Ṭūsī, '' Muṣbaḥ al-mutahajjid wa silāḥ al-mutaʿabbid'', p. 27; Ibn Ṭāwūs, ''Falāḥ al-sāʾil wa najāḥ al-masāʾil fī ʿamal al-yawm wa al-layl'', p. 129; Shurrāb,'' Al-Ma'ālim al-Athīrah fī al-Sunnah wa al-Sīrah'', p. 129.</ref>
==Shami pillar==

The pillar is located in the south of the Ka'ba and is therefore also known as the southern pillar.<ref>Nāṣir Khusraw, ''Safarnāmah-i Nāṣir Khusraw'', p. 129; Burckhardt, ''Tarḥāl fī al-Jazīrah al-ʿArabīyah'', p. 176; Khalīlī, ''Mawsūʿat al-ʿAtābāt al-Muqaddasah'', vol. 2, p. 333.</ref>
