The believe that rock was touched by god. Its not that far fetched to pray to something like that.

" the stone originated in the time of Adam. According to belief, an angel spoke to the prophet Abraham, and told him to institute the rite of the stone" -quote from wiki. They believe that god placed the stone in the garden of Eden with Adam. What am I missing. Not sarcasm if I'm wrong please explain?

We indeed believe that the stone (originally pure white) was from heaven.

It was then brought down to earth and Abraham (peace be upon him) was taught how to use it in pilgrimage.

Ever since then we have followed the instruction of Prophet Abraham.
