BAKKA:
3:96 - The first House (of worship) appointed for men was that at Bakka full of blessing and of
guidance for all kinds of beings: 422423
422 Bakka: same as Makkah, perhaps an older name. The foundation of the Ka'ba goes back to Abraham. (3.96)

PILGRIMAGE: A GENERAL DEFINITION, ITS EXCELLENCE AND PREREQUISITES
Allah, the Exalted One, says: "The first House (of worship) appointed for men was that at Bakka; (Bakka is one of the names
of Makkah) full of blessings and guidance for all kinds of beings: in it are signs manifest (for example), the station of
Abraham-- whoever enters it attains security; pilgrimage thereto is a duty men owe to Allah--those who can afford the
journey; but if any deny faith, Allah stands not in need of any of His creatures" (Qur'an 3.96-97).
BALANCE:
6:1 – Praise be to Allah Who created the heavens and the earth and made the darkness and the
light. Yet those who reject Faith hold (others) as equal with their Guardian-Lord. 834835
834 Adala has various meanings: (1) to hold something as equal to something else, as here; to balance nicely; (2) to deal
justly, as between one party and another, xiii.15; (3) to give compensation or reparation, or something as equivalent to
something else, vi. 70; (4) to turn the balance the right way, to give a right disposition, to give a just bias or proportion,
lxxxii. 7; (5) to turn the balance the wrong way, to swerve, to show bias. iv 135. (6.1)
7:8 - The balance that day will be true (to a nicety): those whose scale (of good) will be heavy will
prosper.
15:19 - And the earth We have spread out (like a carpet); set thereon mountains firm and
immovable; and produced therein all kinds of things in due balance. 19551956
1955 Majesty, order, beauty and harmony are shown in all Allah's Creation, but especially in the heavens. Coming nearer to
man, Allah's care for man and His goodness are shown (besides His other qualities) in His creation of the earth. In
highly poetical language, the earth is described as spread out like a carpet, on which the hills act as weights to keep it
steady. (15.19)
1956 And every kind of thing is produced on the earth in due balance and measure. The mineral kingdom supports the
vegetable and they in their turn support the animal, and there is a link of mutual dependence between them. Excess is
eliminated. The waste of one is made the food of another, and vice versa. And this is a chain of gradation and interdependence.
(15.19)
1957 See last note. 'We provide sustenance of every kind, physical, mental, spiritual, etc., for you (i.e. for mankind). But We
do more. We provide for everyone of Our creatures. And there are those of which mankind is not even cognisant. We
provide for them also. There are those who may at first sight appear hostile to man, or whom man may consider
hostile, such as wild and noxious animals. They are Our creatures, and We provide for them also, as they are Our
creatures. But there is due order and balance in the economy of Our universal Plan.' (15.20)
17:35 - Give full measure when ye measure and weigh with a balance that is straight: that is the
most fitting and the most advantageous in the final determination. 2221
2221 Giving just measure and weight is not only right in itself but is ultimately to the best advantage of the person who gives
it. (17.35)
23:102 - Then those whose balance (of good deeds) is heavy they will attain salvation: 2942
