When We made the House (Ka‘bah of Makkah) a frequented place for men, and a place of peace! Make from the Station of Ibrahim a place of prayer. We gave the (following directive) to Ibrahim and Isma‘il (Ishmael): .Purify My House for those who are to circumambulate (make Tawaf) and those who stay in I‘tikaf, and those who bow down or prostrate themselves (in prayers).
