Surah 3:96

“Verily, the first House (of worship) appointed for mankind was
that in Bakka (Makkah), full of blessing and guidance for all
people.” Amazingly enough, this word “Bakka” was mentioned

Makkah as I mentioned earlier.

from every nation on earth i.e. Gentiles / non Jews.
4. “

themselves together, they come to thee:”
