Ali 'Imran 3:97 فيه ايات بينات مقام ابراهيم ومن دخله كان امنا ولله على الناس حج البيت من استطاع اليه سبيلا ومن كفر فان الله غني عن العالمين ٩٧
فِيهِ
ءَايَٰتُۢ
بَيِّنَٰتٞ
مَّقَامُ
إِبۡرَٰهِيمَۖ
وَمَن
دَخَلَهُۥ
كَانَ
ءَامِنٗاۗ
وَلِلَّهِ
عَلَى
ٱلنَّاسِ
حِجُّ
ٱلۡبَيۡتِ
مَنِ
ٱسۡتَطَاعَ
إِلَيۡهِ
سَبِيلٗاۚ
وَمَن
كَفَرَ
فَإِنَّ
ٱللَّهَ
غَنِيٌّ
عَنِ
ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ
٩٧
Wherein are plain memorials (of Allah's guidance); the place where Abraham stood up to pray; and whosoever entereth it is safe. And pilgrimage to the House is a duty unto Allah for mankind, for him who can find a way thither. As for him who disbelieveth, (let him know that) lo! Allah is Independent of (all) creatures.

Ibn Kathir (Abridged)
The Ka`bah is the First House of Worship
Allah said,
إِنَّ أَوَّلَ بَيْتٍ وُضِعَ لِلنَّاسِ
(Verily, the first House appointed for mankind) for all people, for their acts of worship and religious rituals. They go around the House in Tawaf, pray in its vicinity and remain in its area in I`tikaf.
