God's House

The building is known by many names, including Bait Ateeq, meaning the Ancient House referring to its construction by Abraham (Ibrahim) in ancient time periods, Allah's House, the House of Allah (Bait Ullah), God's House or House of God, the Sacred House, transliterated as Bait al-Haram) and the Ancient House (Baytu l-'Atīq). The Arabic word Kaaba comes from the Arabic ka'bah meaning "square house," which in turn comes from ka'b meaning "cube."
