The Sacred House at the city of Makkah

Prophet Abraham and his son, Ismail, peace be upon them, raised the foundation of the Sacred House in the city of Makkah. The people of the Book are obliged to turn their faces toward the First House in their prayer.
[The first
House (of worship) appointed for men was that at Bakkah (Makkah): Full of blessing
and guidance for all kinds of beings]
[Qur'an
3:96]
