The Sacred House, the first house established on earth for the worship of Allah, is at the center of these verses. They relate that Abraham and Ishmael raised it together, that its site was shown by divine inspiration and that they were commanded to purify it for those who circle it and stay there in devotion. It is described as a place of return and security, with the standing place of Abraham and the pilgrimage.

And [mention] when We made the House [i.e., the Kaʿbah] a place of return for the people and [a place of] security. And take, [O believers], from the standing place of Abraham a place of prayer.
