Question:
Who was the first to build the House? Was it Adam or Ibrahim?
Answer:
The correct view is that it was Ibrahim, as mentioned previously, as stated in the Noble Book: [al-Baqarah: 127]. No text has come indicating that anyone preceded him (peace and blessings be upon him).
When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about the first house established for people, he said:. It was said: Then which one? He said: . It was said: How long is the interval between them? He said: . So the first mosque is this mosque in which the Ka'bah is, and the second mosque is al-Quds (the Mosque of Iliya). There are forty years between them. It was built by Ya'qub, the grandson of Ibrahim (peace and blessings be upon him), and then Sulayman ibn Dawud (peace and blessings be upon them both) renewed it.
