At other times the term describes the entire complex.
Prophet Abraham brought Hagar and her son Ishmael while she was suckling him, to a place near the Ka’ba under a tree on the spot of Zam-zam, at the highest place in the mosque. Ishmael’s mother followed him saying, “O Abraham! Where are you going, leaving us in this valley where there is no person whose company we may enjoy, nor is there anything (to enjoy)?” She repeated that to him many times, but he did not look back at her then she asked him, “Has Allah ordered you to do so?” He said, “Yes.” She said, “Then He will not neglect us,” and returned while Abraham proceeded onwards, and on reaching the Thaniya where they could not see him, he faced the Ka’ba, and raising both hands, invoked Allah saying the following prayers: ‘O our Lord! I have made some of my offspring dwell in a valley without cultivation, by Your Sacred House (Ka’ba at Mecca) in order, O our Lord, that they may offer prayer perfectly. So, fill some hearts among men with love towards them, and (O Allah) provide them with fruits, so that they may give thanks.’ (14.37) Ishmael’s mother went on suckling Ishmael and drinking from the water (she had).

(Uppsala Mecca Painting Dated: 1710-1712 Author: Unknown Painting with topographical view of Mecca with the Great Mosque in the center surrounded by the houses of the city and hills, purchased by Uppsala, University Library in 1717 from the Swedish orientalist Michael Eneman who acquired it in Turkey. )
Since the 1880s, the city of Mecca has been photographed and filmed. Even these images, however, are of road to Arafat is realistically rendered, as it goes to the north first and then bends sharply to the east. These locations are based on four corners of Ka’ba, match with authentic hadiths and Arabian Geography read details Uppsala painting bellow: less value than the Uppsala painting. Paradoxically, though these photos are panoramic, they do not show as many details as the earlier representations did. Therefore, one can conclude that the Uppsala painting remains an absolute summit in Hajj representations and has never been surpassed, even by later techniques of coloured pictures or photographs.
The Uppsala painting is orientated from the perspective of Mount Sha`b Ali, northwest of the Ka’ba. This mountain provides an excellent view of the Ka’ba and Mecca, and it looks to the sa’i area, where the rite of running between the hillocks of Safa and Marwa takes place, and the northern facade of the Masjid al-Haram. In the drawing, south is in the upper right of the canvas, and north in the lower left. Mount Arafat is correctly drawn to the southeast of Mecca, as is Jeddah, which is painted to the west.
