Flood sweeps into Masjid al-Haram and brings down Kaaba walls
On 19 Shaban 1039 AH (1630), a flood caused by torrential rain swept into Masjid al-Haram in Mecca and brought down parts of the Kaaba's walls. Sultan Murad IV had the Kaaba thoroughly rebuilt through Judge Mehmed Efendi and the architect Rıdvan Agha.
