Arabic text

وَإِذْ جَعَلْنَا ٱلْبَيْتَ مَثَابَةً لِّلنَّاسِ وَأَمْنًا وَٱتَّخِذُوا۟ مِن مَّقَامِ إِبْرَٰهِـۧمَ مُصَلًّى ۖ وَعَهِدْنَآ إِلَىٰٓ إِبْرَٰهِـۧمَ وَإِسْمَـٰعِيلَ أَن طَهِّرَا بَيْتِىَ لِلطَّآئِفِينَ وَٱلْعَـٰكِفِينَ وَٱلرُّكَّعِ ٱلسُّجُودِ

Translation

(Remember also the time) When We made the House (the Kabah) a gathering place for people (throughout the world) and a place of safety (from injustice and attack and a place of peace). (O people) Take the Maqaam of Ibraheem (the stone on which Ibraheem stood while building the Kabah) as a place of salaah (a place behind which you perform two Rakaahs of salaah after Tawaaf). We commanded Ibraheem عليه الصلاة والسلام and Ismaa'eel عليه الصلاة والسلام (saying, "Clean (remove idols from) My house (the Kabah) for those who perform Tawaaf, those who stay in it, those who bow (in Ruku) and those who prostrate (referring to those who perform salaah there)."

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The House of Allah is a place of safety: that is, every year people gather there for Hajj, and those who go there and perform the rites of Hajj become safe from the punishment of Hell; or [the meaning is that] no one there wrongs another. The Station of Ibrahim ﵇: the Station of Ibrahim ﵇ (Maqam Ibrahim)
