It gives us a unified sense of prayer.
So Mecca is our qibla.
It's our place of direction when we are alive and when we are dead.
So actually we pray facing towards it.
When we die, we are also faced towards it in our graves.
And it kind of gives us that unifying spirit.
So this is the valley of Mecca.

And it is the place that Adam, in the Quran, Adam, peace be upon him, first had a place constructed there as a place of worship from the angels towards God.
And then when Abraham settles Hagar and Ishmael in Mecca,
they build this house of worship.
And that is where the gushing springs of Zemzum are mentioned, where God sends an angel to give a miracle to Hagar and Ishmael that they can sustain themselves from as they're not left in the desert.
So Ishmael being the firstborn son of Abraham is given a place and there's a story and a history that's going to unfold from that place of Mecca.
And then Isaac is born, peace be upon him, 13 years later.
