Before the reconstruction of the Ka'ba by the [[Quraysh]], the entrance of the Ka'ba was at ground level, but during the reconstruction of the Ka'ba, five years before the prophethood, the entrance of the Ka'ba was first raised above ground level, and a ladder was built for entry, which has been rebuilt and replaced several times throughout history. The latest external staircase of the Ka'ba was inaugurated in the year 2000 CE.
