وَإِذْ يَرْفَعُ إِبْرَٰهِۦمُ ٱلْقَوَاعِدَ مِنَ ٱلْبَيْتِ وَإِسْمَٰعِيلُ رَبَّنَا تَقَبَّلْ مِنَّآ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ رَبَّنَا وَٱجْعَلْنَا مُسْلِمَيْنِ لَكَ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِنَآ أُمَّةًۭ مُّسْلِمَةًۭ لَّكَ وَأَرِنَا مَنَاسِكَنَا وَتُبْ عَلَيْنَآ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلتَّوَّابُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ رَبَّنَا وَٱبْعَثْ فِيهِمْ رَسُولًۭا مِّنْهُمْ يَتْلُوا۟ عَلَيْهِمْ ءَايَٰتِكَ وَيُعَلِّمُهُمُ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ وَٱلْحِكْمَةَ وَيُزَكِّيهِمْ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ

English · Marmaduke Pickthall And when Abraham and Ishmael were raising the foundations of the House, (Abraham prayed): Our Lord! Accept from us (this duty). Lo! Thou, only Thou, art the Hearer, the Knower. Our Lord! And make us submissive unto Thee and of our seed a nation submissive unto Thee, and show us our ways of worship, and relent toward us. Lo! Thou, only Thou, art the Relenting, the Merciful. Our Lord! And raise up in their midst a messenger from among them who shall recite unto them Thy revelations, and shall instruct them in the Scripture and in wisdom and shall make them grow. Lo! Thou, only Thou, art the Mighty, Wise.
Türkçe · Elmalılı Hamdi Yazır Ve ne vakit ki İbrahim, Beyt'in temellerini yükseltmeye başladı, İsmail ile birlikte şöyle dua ettiler: Ey Rabbimiz, bizden kabul buyur, hiç şüphesiz işiten sensin, bilen sensin. Ey bizim Rabbimiz, hem bizim ikimizi yalnız senin için boyun eğen müslümanlar kıl, hem de soyumuzdan yalnız senin için boyun eğen müslüman bir ümmet meydana getir ve bize ibadetimizin yollarını göster, tevbemize rahmetle bakıver. Hiç şüphesiz Tevvâb sensin, Rahîm sensin. Ey bizim Rabbimiz, bir de onlara içlerinden öyle bir peygamber gönder ki, onlara senin âyetlerini tilavet eylesin, kendilerine kitabı ve hikmeti öğretsin, içlerini ve dışlarını tertemiz yapıp onları pâk eylesin. Hiç şüphesiz Azîz sensin, hikmet sahibi Sensin.

In the Qur’an (2:127), Ibrahim and Ismail ask Allah to accept their service while raising the Ka‘bah.

Qurʾān 2:127-129

And mention when Abraham raised up the foundations the supports or the walls of the House building it min al-bayt ‘of the House’ is semantically connected to yarfa‘u ‘raises up’ and Ishmael with him wa-Ismā‘īlu is a supplement to Ibrāhīmu both of them saying ‘Our Lord! Receive this building from us. Truly You are the Hearing of words the Knowing of deeds.
