Historical Places in Makkah – Part 1

The history of Makkah dates back to the time of prophet Ibrahim (Abraham, PBUH) who, with the help of his son prophet Ismail (Ishmael PBUH), constructed Kaaba on the commandment of Allah at the location as we see today. It can be said the foundations of this city were laid by descendants of prophet Ismail (PBUH). Since Islam also originated from this city, the land of Makkah has witnessed countless events that changed the course of the history and mankind. I will try to gather some important historical places in this post, which is first part of the series.
