Ibrahim عَلَیہِ السَّلام and Ismail عَلَیہِ السَّلام Build the Kaaba

Allah gave Prophet Ibrahim عَلَیہِ السَّلام and his son Ismail عَلَیہِ السَّلام a special job: to build the Kaaba in Makkah.

Ismail عَلَیہِ السَّلام carried the stones, and Ibrahim عَلَیہِ السَّلام put them in place. When the walls grew tall, Ibrahim عَلَیہِ السَّلام stood on a stone to reach higher. That place is called Maqam Ibrahim.

As they worked together, father and son made dua that Allah would accept what they built.

Today, Muslims all over the world face the Kaaba every time they pray.
