No, Makkah does not belong to Turkey. Makkah, also known as Mecca, is located in Saudi Arabia and is considered the holiest city in Islam.
Here's why Makkah belongs to Saudi Arabia:
- Historical and Geographical Location: Makkah has been located in the Arabian Peninsula for centuries, long before the existence of modern-day Turkey.
- Political Boundaries: Saudi Arabia has been the sovereign nation controlling Makkah since its establishment in 1932.
- Religious Significance: Makkah is the birthplace of the Prophet Muhammad and the site of the Kaaba, a cube-shaped building that Muslims circumambulate during the Hajj pilgrimage. This religious significance makes Makkah a crucial part of Saudi Arabian identity and culture.
