Inna awwala Baitinw wudi'a linnaasi lallazee bi Bakkata mubaarakanw wa hudal lil 'aalameen (ʾĀl ʿImrān 3:96)

Sahih International:

Indeed, the first House [of worship] established for mankind was that at Bakkah [i.e., Makkah] – blessed and a guidance for the worlds. (Ali 'Imran [3] : 96)

1 Mufti Taqi Usmani

The first house set up for the people is surely the one in Makkah having blessings and guidance for all the worlds.
