What does "Obaid's Mecca" mean?


I named my blog using the word "Mecca" because of the two meanings that it brings to the table:

1) "A mecca" is said to be a place that attracts many visitors; therefore, calling my blog a mecca implies that people will one day be attracted towards it, giving me a motive to actually put some thought into what I write.

2) The former term was derived from the city of Mecca, the birthplace of the Prophet Muhammed (peace be upon him), and the way millions of Muslims visit it every year (as depicted above, wherein lines of people are praying around the Kabah, the holiest Islamic site in the world). This meaning of the word holds meaning to me as I see Islam to play a huge role in the way I live my everyday life and interact with others.
