Prophet Ismail A.S and Ibrahim A.S

Abraham, in his later years, was commanded by God to set up the holy house of prayer in Mecca, with his first son Ishmael, which became known as the Kaaba.^{[citation needed]} God made a covenant with Abraham and Ishmael,^[33] that they should sanctify the Kaaba, as a holy place of worship, where all people in the future could retreat to, bow to and prostrate themselves. Abraham then prayed for Mecca, saying "My Lord, make this a city of Peace...".^[34] God answered, saying that the believers would be rewarded but all evil men would be punished.^[35] The Qur'an then narrates that Abraham and Ishmael said a prayer,^[36] once they had built the Kaaba.
