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 thier faces toward the Old House in their prayer.

[Remember Abraham said: "O my Lord! make this city one of peace and security: And reserve me and my sons from worshipping idols.]
[Qur'an
14:35]
