How and why is the Kabba or the Cube for that matter (Kabba means Box or Cube in most Semitic languages) -- connected to Saturn, and please bring about some evidence and references to some real research, not some speculative website serving what seems to be completely unfounded speculations. But I can be wrong of course.
Another well known "Kabba" or Box is the City of God, the Cubus Christi, the Kabaregidapoth, The New Jerusalem.
And of course the Holy of Holies in the Temple of Solomon was a cube.
The Cube or the Hexahedron is the second in line among the five Platonic solids, corresponding to the element Terra (Earth) according to Plato in his Timaeus. It has eight corners and six equally squared sides. The cube was thought to be the atom of hard matter.
I can't say I ever heard or read anywhere of any evidence the planet/god Saturn would be associated with cubes or the Kabba in Mecca. This whole thing sounds speculative at best.

Likewise, the Kbata could be the Kaaba, phonetically /ka3bata/ with eihter /h/ or /t/ termination. It is built of bricks and has the black stone , which is sacred. Thus, it could be the goddess of bricks for the Sumerians, and after eliding the /3/, it becomes /kabata/
His [the Mahdi's] aim is to establish a moral system from which all superstitious faiths have been eliminated. In the same way that students enter Islam, so unbelievers will come to believe
The Messenger of Allah said: "The Mahdi is of my lineage, with a high forehead and a long, thin, curved nose. He will fill the earth with fairness and justice as it was filled with oppression and injustice, and he will rule for seven years
The Master of the Command was named as the Mahdi because he will dig out the Torah and other heavenly books from the cave in Antioch. He will judge among the people of the Torah according to the Torah; among the people of the Gospel according to the Gospel; among the people of the Psalms in accordance with the Psalms; among the people of the Qur'an in accordance with the Qur'an.
