This time I will start with the city of Makkah. It is considered to be the most important city in the world. There are a number of reasons for this.
Makkah, the city of prayers:
The first important reason is that Makkah is the direction for all Muslims around the world to perform their prayers.
Makkah, the centre of the Earth:
Secondly, Makkah is considered to be the center of the earth, and this is supported by the Golden Ration Theory.
The accurate timing:
Thirdly, it was discovered that the timing in Makkah is more accurate than GMT.
Building of the Kaaba:
There is also the oldest building on earth called Kaaba (Cube-shaped building), and it is located inside the Grand Mosque in Makkah.
On YouTube you can see an explanation of the theory and you could follow this link :
