Mother of the Towns: Makkah Makkah is the city where the House of Allah, Al-Ka’bah, is erected. Allah Almighty mentions in His Book ,Al-Qur’an:
“ Verily! The first Sanctuary appointed for mankind was that at Makkah, a blessed place and a guidance for the worlds.”
It refers to the time when the Father of Mankind, Adam (Be His blessings upon him) was sent to the earth and he laid foundation of Makkah by constructing Baitullah (Al Ka’bah) on the ground where it is erected today.
Abu Zar Ghifari (May Allah be pleased with him) reports that he asked the the Holy Prophet (Be His blessings and peace upon him) : “ Which mosque was constructed first of all on the earth?” he replied: “ Masjid Al Haram (Baitullah).”
Imam Ibn-i- Katheer ( Be His blessings on him)has quoted a Hadith under the mentioned verse:
Abdullah bin Amr bin Al’aas (May Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Holy Prophet (Be His blessings and peace upon him) said: “Adam and Hawa (Eve) constructed Baitullah by the commandment of Allah and circled aroud it..”
Standard for Mankind:
The Holy Qur’an announces:
“Allah hath appointed the Ka’bah, the Sacred House, a standard for mankind, and the Sacred month and the offerings and the garlands. This is so that ye may know that Allah knoweth whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth, and that Allah is Knower of all things.” The venerable Ka’bah is standard for mankind in four dimensions.
First Dimension: Qiblah for Muslims: Ka’bah is Qiblah for Muslims to say their Salah(prayers) facing towards it. As Muslims form circles around Ka’bah, in Masjid-ul-Haram, during their Salah, all the Masajid(mosques) of the world form imaginary
