"And we enjoined Abraham and Ishmael, saying: Purify My House for those who visit it and those who abide in it for devotion and those who bow down and those who prostrate themselves. " The Cow (2:125)
The Kabah is the spiritual center of islam and was connected with the name of Abraham. A small building suppported by six pillars about 8 ft. high, situated in the Kabah is known by this name, and was so known in the time of the Prophet and even before him, and this is incontrovertible evidence of Abraham's connection with Arabia and its spiritual center. There is a hadith in Budhari according to which "Umar Maqam Ibrahim used as a place of prayer. These words were spoken when the Prophet, after his flight to Madinah, turned his face to Jerusalem as the Qiblah, because Jerusalem was the qiblah of the Israelite prophets that had gone before him. It was on receiving the Divine injunction that he made the Ka"bah the qiblah of the Muslims.
