'''The Cover of the Kaʿba''', also known as '''Kiswa''' (Arabic: {{ia|الكسوة}}), The Cover of the [[Kaaba]] (Kiswah)

The cover of the Kaaba, known as the Kiswah, is a large black textile that envelops the walls of the Kaaba. Draping the Kaaba is considered a mark of deep respect and reverence for this sacred structure. The tradition of covering the Kaaba with various fabrics of different colors and materials dates back to pre-Islamic times, reflecting a longstanding historical practice.

The historical accounts of preparing and installing the Kiswah are well-documented in various sources. These accounts not only highlight the significance of the Kiswah but also discuss its various aspects in Islamic jurisprudence.

In contemporary times, the Kiswah is meticulously crafted in a specialized workshop in Mecca. It consists of five main sections, each meticulously embroidered with verses from the Quran and intricate designs. This process ensures that the Kiswah remains a symbol of the sanctity and honor of the Kaaba, maintaining its revered status in the Islamic tradition.

~~Today, the curtain is woven in a dedicated workshop in [[Mecca]] and consists of five pieces, each covering one of the walls of the Ka'ba, with an additional piece allocated for the door.~~
