Muhammad transformed the Kaaba primarily by turning it into an Islamic holy site. After the conquest of Mecca in 630 CE, he removed the idols and images associated with polytheism, reestablishing the Kaaba as a place of monotheistic worship dedicated to the one God (Allah). He did not tear it down or move it to Medina; instead, he emphasized its significance as a center of Islamic faith.
