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.
