#Is_there_anything_similar_to_kissing_the_Black_Stone_in_the_Bible?
All the movements in the Kaaba as walking, kissing or touching the Black Stone and the Yemeni Corner, or pointing to the Black Stone – all come under the heading of remembering Allah, may He be exalted, because they are all *acts of worship, and submission to Allah.*
We follow Prophet Muhammed, and he did that as a state of remembrance and worshipping of Allah.
The prophet's companion ‘Umar ibn al-Khattaab (may Allah be pleased with him) said, when he kissed the Black Stone:
I know that you are a stone and have no power to harm or benefit; were it not that I saw the Prophet (blessings and peaceful of Allah be upon him) kissing you, I would not have kissed you.
*In the bible we find the similar thing* , let me show you ...
Isa 6:6-7: "Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar:
And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Behold, this has touched your lips; and your iniquity is taken away, and your sin purged."
Would you consider this worshipping the coal ? .. as it takes away your sins❓
❓Is there any blessing behind kissing the Black Stone ?
With regard to what some people think, that the purpose behind that is to seek blessing (barakah) from it, there is no basis for that, so it is invalid.

With regard to what some people think, that the purpose behind that is to seek blessing from it, there is no basis for that, so it is invalid.
With regard to what some people have said, that circumambulating the Ka‘bah is like circumambulating the graves of their saints, and that it is tantamount to idolatry, this is part of their heresy.
The believers only circumambulate it in compliance with the command of Allah, and whatever is done in compliance with the command of Allah, doing it is an act of worship of Allah, may He be exalted.

What we should point out here is that our prayer facing the direction of the Ka’bah has nothing to do with the structure of the Ka’bah, rather it has to do with its location. If it were to be destroyed, we would still pray in that direction, not to that structure.
The Kaaba is the direction that Muslims head to when praying.
For instance, if Muslims want to offer Prayer, it is possible that some may wish to face north, while some may wish to face south. In order to unite Muslims in their worship of the One True God, Muslims, wherever they may be, are asked to face in only one direction i.e. towards the Kaaba.
The act of circumambulating around the Kaaba is because it's an order of Almighty God not because Muslims worship it.At the time of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him , people even stood on the Kaaba to make the call of prayer.So which idol worshipper stands on the top of the idol he worships? Muslims do not worship the Kaaba at all, but rather they worship the Lord of the Kaaba ,the Lord of the universe, Almighty God.
