Do Muslim worship Kaba?



Do Muslims worship the Kaaba? 
by: Hafiz Muhammad Shariq
Some people believe that Muslims worship the Kaaba. Actually they may not know what the Kaaba is. Easily we can understand the true concept of kaaba by the word "Kaaba" which means direction. The Prophet Muhammad S.A.W made it clear that the direction for prayer is towards the Kaaba. There is not a single Islamic text (i.e. Quranic verse or authentic Hadith) will instructs anyone to worship the Kaaba. We're not even supposed to worship anything created, leave aside worshipping the Kaaba. In fact, the Quran says:

Surah Maidah 5:76:
"Say: "Will ye worship, besides Allah, something which hath no power either to harm or benefit you?But Allah,- He it is that heareth and knoweth all things."

And this is also mentioned in there verses. 
Surah R'ad 13:16:
 Surah Anbiya 21:66: Surah Furqan 25:55: etc.

If we look at history we would know that When the Muslims finally conquered the city of Makkah, Hazrat Muhammad S.A.W asked Ethiopian Sahabi Hazrat Bilal r.a to give azaan (call to pray) and Hazrat Bilal (RA) climbed on top of the Kaaba and called the prayer (Azan). Now I would like to ask those those who allege that Muslims worship the Kaaba; which idol worshipper stands on the idol he worships? Can you ? No… but Muslims could. So this is prove logically that Muslims do not worship kaaba.
