According to Newsweek, Muslims once faced Jerusalem while praying during the earliest years of the 7th century. However, after Muhammad was exiled from his home city of Mecca and driven to Medina, he instructed his followers to pray while facing the now-black and gold Kaaba. And as he would in the 630s, Muslims worldwide are compelled to undergo a pilgrimage (called Hajj) to the shrine.
