The Raising of the Kaaba’s Foundations

A grown-up reads you the short text; the longer one you read yourself.

Abraham and his son Ishmael raised the foundations of the sacred Kaaba in Mecca, praying to God to make it a blessed sanctuary.

Prophet Abraham and his son Ishmael gathered in the valley of Mecca to raise the foundations of the Sacred House by divine command. Working together with humility and dedication, they set the Black Stone in its corner and prayed for God's acceptance and blessing upon their descendants, making the Kaaba the global Qibla of prayer and pilgrimage.
