The First House of Worship founded for mankind was in
Bakka [Makkah]. Blessed and guidance to mankind. In
it are evident signs, even the Standing Place of Abraham
[Maqam Ibrahim]; and whoever enters it is safe. And the
pilgrimage to the temple [Hajj] is an obligation due to God
from those who are able to journey there.
Qurʿan 3: 90–
