Makkah

And when Abraham and Ishmael raised the foundations of the Sacred House, they prayed, 'Our Lord, accept this from us.

2:127And when Abraham and Ishmael were raising the foundations of the House, (Abraham prayed): Our Lord! Accept from us (this duty). Lo! Thou, only Thou, art the Hearer, the Knower.

And when Abraham said, 'My Lord, make this land secure and provide its people with sustenance, those who believe in You and the Last Day.' Allah replied, 'As for those who disbelieve, I will grant them enjoyment for a short time, then drive them into the torment of the Fire, what a dreadful fate!'

2:126And when Abraham prayed: My Lord! Make this a region of security and bestow upon its people fruits, such of them as believe in Allah and the Last Day, He answered: As for him who disbelieveth, I shall leave him in contentment for a while, then I shall compel him to the doom of Fire - a hapless journey's end!

14:35And when Abraham said: My Lord! Make safe this territory, and preserve me and my sons from serving idols.

And remember when We made the Sacred House a place of gathering and security for people, saying, 'Take the standing place of Abraham as a site of prayer.' We commanded Abraham and Ishmael, 'Purify My House for those who circle it, stand in prayer, bow, and prostrate.

2:125And when We made the House (at Makka) a resort for mankind and sanctuary, (saying): Take as your place of worship the place where Abraham stood (to pray). And We imposed a duty upon Abraham and Ishmael, (saying): Purify My house for those who go around and those who meditate therein and those who bow down and prostrate themselves (in worship).

22:26And (remember) when We prepared for Abraham the place of the (holy) House, saying: Ascribe thou no thing as partner unto Me, and purify My House for those who make the round (thereof) and those who stand and those who bow and make prostration.

“My Lord, they have led many astray. Whoever follows me is of me, but whoever disobeys, You are Forgiving, Merciful.”

14:36My Lord! Lo! they have led many of mankind astray. But whoso followeth me, he verily is of me. And whoso disobeyeth me - Still Thou art Forgiving, Merciful.

Our Lord, make us devoted to You, and from our descendants, a nation that submits to You. Teach us our rites and accept our repentance

2:128Our Lord! And make us submissive unto Thee and of our seed a nation submissive unto Thee, and show us our ways of worship, and relent toward us. Lo! Thou, only Thou, art the Relenting, the Merciful.

“Our Lord, I have settled some of my descendants in a barren valley near Your Sacred House, so they may establish prayer. So, fill the hearts of people with love for them and provide them with sustenance, that they may be grateful.”

14:37Our Lord! Lo! I have settled some of my posterity in an uncultivable valley near unto Thy holy House, our Lord! that they may establish proper worship; so incline some hearts of men that they may yearn toward them, and provide Thou them with fruits in order that they may be thankful.

Our Lord, send among them a messenger from their own people, who will recite Your revelations, teach them the Book and wisdom, and purify them.

2:129Our Lord! And raise up in their midst a messenger from among them who shall recite unto them Thy revelations, and shall instruct them in the Scripture and in wisdom and shall make them grow. Lo! Thou, only Thou, art the Mighty, Wise.

Who would turn away from the way of Abraham except one who is foolish? We chose him for a noble mission in this world, and in the Hereafter, he will be among the righteous.

2:130And who forsaketh the religion of Abraham save him who befooleth himself? Verily We chose him in the world, and lo! in the Hereafter he is among the righteous.

“Praise be to Allah, who granted me, Ishmael and Isaac in old age.

14:39Praise be to Allah Who hath given me, in my old age, Ishmael and Isaac! Lo! my Lord is indeed the Hearer of Prayer.

When his Lord said, 'Submit,' he replied, 'I submit to the Lord of all worlds.'

2:131When his Lord said unto him: Surrender! he said: I have surrendered to the Lord of the Worlds.

Abraham instructed his children, and so did Jacob: 'O my children, Allah has chosen this way for you, so do not die except in full submission to Him.'

2:132The same did Abraham enjoin upon his sons, and also Jacob, (saying): O my sons! Lo! Allah hath chosen for you the (true) religion; therefore die not save as men who have surrendered (unto Him).
