[Prophet], say, ‘God speaks the truth, so follow Abraham’s religion: he had true faith and he was never an idolater.’

إِنَّ أَوَّلَ بَیۡتࣲ وُضِعَ لِلنَّاسِ لَلَّذِی بِبَكَّةَ مُبَارَكࣰا وَهُدࣰى لِّلۡعَـٰلَمِینَ ٩٦
inna awwala baytin wuḍiʿa lilnnāsi lalladhī bibakkata mubārakan wahudan lil'ʿālamīn
The first House [of worship] to be established for people was the one at Mecca. It is a blessed place; a source of guidance for all people
97
فِیهِ ءَایَـٰتُۢ بَیِّنَـٰتࣱ مَّقَامُ إِبۡرَ ٰهِیمَۖ وَمَن دَخَلَهُۥ كَانَ ءَامِنࣰاۗ وَلِلَّهِ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ حِجُّ ٱلۡبَیۡتِ مَنِ ٱسۡتَطَاعَ إِلَیۡهِ سَبِیلࣰاۚ وَمَن كَفَرَ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَنِیٌّ عَنِ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِینَ ٩٧

there are clear signs in it; it is the place where Abraham stood to pray; whoever enters it is safe. Pilgrimage to the House is a duty owed to God by people who are able to undertake it. Those who reject this [should know that] God has no need of anyone
