kabba

[pascoe]

Assalam alikum I was just wondering we know the kabba was not built till Abraham peace be upon him so I was wondering where did the prophets pray too before him and did they pray 5 times a day like us or some other form of prayer

Wa Alaikum As'salam,

The Kaaba is for the Abrahamic Religions.  Allah Almighty Said:

[022:078] And strive in the cause of ALLAH as it behoves you to strive for it. HE has chosen you and has laid no hardship upon you in the matter of religion; so follow the faith of your father Abraham; HE has named you Muslims both before and in this Book, so that the Messenger may be a witness over you, and you may be witnesses over mankind. Therefore observe Prayer and pay the Zakaat, and hold fast to ALLAH. HE is your Protector and an Excellent Protector and an Excellent Helper !

The Kaaba was mentioned and the Pilgrimage to it was prophesied in the previous Scriptures, in the Bible and elsewhere:

As to all other nations and Religions that existed for millions and millions and millions of years on this earth, Allah Almighty Said that He sent customized and different Islams to different people:

[005:048]  To thee We sent the Scripture in truth, confirming the scripture that came before it, and guarding it in safety: so judge between them by what God hath revealed, and follow not their vain desires, diverging from the Truth that hath come to thee. To each among you have we prescribed a law and an open way لكل جعلنا منكم شرعة ومنهاجا. If God had so willed, He would have made you a single people, but (His plan is) to test you in what He hath given you: so strive as in a race in all virtues. The goal of you all is to God; it is He that will show you the truth of the matters in which ye dispute;
