صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
Allah Almighty states in part 4, Surah Aal-e-‘Imran, verse no. 96:
اِنَّ اَوَّلَ بَیْتٍ وُّضِعَ لِلنَّاسِ لَلَّذِیْ بِبَكَّةَ مُبٰرَكًا وَّ هُدًى لِّلْعٰلَمِیْنَۚ(۹۶)
Translation from Kanz-ul-Iman: Indeed the first house which was established as a place of worship for the people, is the one which is in Makkah (the Holy Ka’bah); blessed and a guide to the entire world.
Under the aforementioned blessed verse, it is stated in Tafseer Sirat-ul-Jinaan: “The first house that was built on the face of the earth for worship was the blessed Ka’bah.” It is stated in a blessed Hadees: “The blessed Ka’bah was built 40 years before Bayt-ul-Muqaddas.” (Bukhari, vol. 2, pp. 427, Hadees 3366)
Moreover, the Qiblah of angels is Bayt-ul-Ma’moor which is situated in the sky and is exactly above the blessed Ka’bah.” (Kanz-ul-‘Ummal, vol. 7, pp. 49, Hadees 38081)
