 The Bah‡`’ World, Vol. 18, Part Five: In Memoriam
His widowed young mother, who was then pregnant with her second son, Sabr’, was forced to leave her house and return to that of her parents in a nearby village, due to the machinations and unbearable treatment of one of her deceased husband's brothers.
Their faith was rewarded: within a week they had acquired a house that was to become a real Bah‡`’ home for countless pioneers, travelling teachers and friends, and would later become the `gateway to the islands', as most of the Bah‡`’s who travelled to the Western Isles, Orkneys and Shetlands passed through Iverness.
Bah‡`’ life, but for the history books let me state that she was born on 8 December 1907 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the fourth of twelve children of Herman and Elsie (Lyman) Bremer.

 Saudi Aramco World : The Ka’bah – House Of God
The Ka'bah is also referred to in the Koran as the "first house established for mankind," meaning, according to the foremost medieval commentator on the Koran, al-Tabari, that it is the first building ever consecrated to the worship of God.
For the Ka'bah—"the House of God"—is not a temple, not a church, not a shrine.
In medieval times popular legend held that the Ka'bah was created before the earth and floated for 1,000 years upon the surface of the waters covering the earth, coming to rest in Mecca only when the waters receded and the earth emerged.

 A Manual of Hadith: Chapter V: The Mosque
To the Muslim, however, the mosque means much more than a mere house of Divine worship which could, in fact, be offered anywhere; it is the real centre for the society of Islām in a certain locality, as the Ka'bah is the centre for the Muslims of the whole world.
The mosque was thus a place where everything which related to the good of the individual or the community was to be learned or taught, and hence it became the cultural centre of Islām.
The mosque, being the essential meeting-place of Muslims five times a day, became also a general centre where all important matters relating to the welfare of the Muslim community were transacted and where Muslims gathered together on all important occasions.
