About Makkah:
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was born in Makkah. Up until the age of 53, the Prophet (peace be upon him) lived in Makkah.
Later, he moved to Madinah, where he passed away at age 63.
According to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), the reward for offering one salah at Masjid Al Haram is equal to offering 100,000 prayers.
This holds true for both the obligatory (Farz) and voluntary prayers (Nawwafil).
