The House of Allah-azwj in Makkah
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَقْتُلُوا الصَّيْدَ وَأَنْتُمْ حُرُمٌ ۚ وَمَنْ قَتَلَهُ مِنْكُمْ مُتَعَمِّدًا فَجَزَاءٌ مِثْلُ مَا قَتَلَ مِنَ النَّعَمِ يَحْكُمُ بِهِ ذَوَا عَدْلٍ مِنْكُمْ هَدْيًا بَالِغَ الْكَعْبَةِ أَوْ كَفَّارَةٌ طَعَامُ مَسَاكِينَ أَوْ عَدْلُ ذَٰلِكَ صِيَامًا لِيَذُوقَ وَبَالَ أَمْرِهِ ۗ عَفَا اللَّهُ عَمَّا سَلَفَ ۚ وَمَنْ عَادَ فَيَنْتَقِمُ اللَّهُ مِنْهُ ۗ وَاللَّهُ عَزِيزٌ ذُو انْتِقَامٍ {95}
O you who believe! Do not kill the prey while you are in Ihram; and the one from you who kills it deliberately, so his recompense would be like what he killed from the cattle. The possessor of justice from you would judge with it, (either) a sacrificial animal reaching the Kabah, or an expiation of feeding the poor, or equivalent of that in Fasting in order for him to taste the scourge of his matter. Allah Pardons from what is past; and (as for) the one who repeats, then Allah will Take Revenge from him, and Allah is Mighty with the Revenge [5:95]
جَعَلَ اللَّهُ الْكَعْبَةَ الْبَيْتَ الْحَرَامَ قِيَامًا لِلنَّاسِ وَالشَّهْرَ الْحَرَامَ وَالْهَدْيَ وَالْقَلَائِدَ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ لِتَعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ {97}
Allah Made the Kabah, the Sacred House, as a Standard for the people, and (so is) the Sacred Month, and the offerings and the sacrificial animals. That is for you to know that Allah Knows what is in the skies and what is in the earth, and that Allah is most-Knowing with all things [5:97]
العياشي: عن أبان بن تغلب، قال: قلت لأبي عبد الله (عليه السلام): جَعَلَ اللَّهُ الْكَعْبَةَ الْبَيْتَ الْحَرامَ قِياماً لِلنَّاسِ؟ قال: جعلها الله لدينهم و معايشه
Al Ayyashi, from Aban Bin Taghlub who said,
‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘(What about) Allah Made the Kabah, the Sacred House, as a Standard for the people [5:97]?’. He-asws said: ‘Allah-azwj Made it for their Religion and their life.[1]
