Building the Building the Ka`bah Ka`bah and asking Allah to accept and asking Allah to accept this this Deed Deed
Allah asked Prophet Ibrahim(AS) to build the Kaaba and he did with the help of his son Prophet Ismail (AS). While building the Kaaba, they recited the following dua: "Our Lord! accept (this service) from Our Lord! accept (this service) from us for thou art the All us for thou art the All- -Hearing the All Knowing. ( Knowing. (Sura Sura Baqarah Baqarah, , 2 2: : 127 Hearing the All- - 127). ).
Although both the Prophets created a house that would be used by all Muslims until today, they did not brag or boast about it. Nor did they claim the creation as their own and feel proud about it. Instead they continuously recited the dua, asking Allah to accept their service. This is the behaviour of the sincere believers, whom Allah described in His following statement:
(And those who give that which they give) (23:60) meaning, they give away voluntary charity, and perform the acts of worship yet, (with their hearts full of fear) (23: 60) afraid that these good deeds might not be accepted of them.
