Right. So when I first saw the top picture I was indifferent. I was like “oh, all right, another picture of the Kaaba.” Boy was I wrong!

It is actually a magnet in the shape of a cube with iron fillings scattered around it. The magnetic field causes the iron fillings to arrange themselves into that pattern. (Credit goes to Ahmed Mater)

I only realized my mistake when I stumbled upon an actual picture of the Kaaba. Subhanallah!! Allah is indeed Great. 

Soon will We show them our Signs in the (furthest) regions (of the earth), and in their own souls, until it becomes manifest to them that this is the Truth. Is it not enough that thy Lord doth witness all things? {Al-Quran 41:53}
