=== The History of al-Haram al-Makki ===
Except for the [[hadith]] quoted from [[the Prophet (s)]] in which [[Abraham (a)]] is considered the one who made [[Mecca]] a Haram, some exegetes believe that before Abraham (a), [[Mecca]] was the same as other lands, but after beginning of his mission as a prophet and when he prayed to [[God]] for [[Mecca]] to be a safe land,<ref>Q 2: 126; Q 14: 35</ref> it became holy. Some others have considered it possible that the holiness of Mecca didn't start with Abraham's prayer, but it revived after a period of ignorance.<ref>al-Tabari, Muhammad b. Jarir.

Before [[Islam]], ''Haram'' of [[Mecca]] was known for [[Arabs]] and they avoided war, wounding and revenge in that area to observe its holiness and follow the tradition of Abraham (a) and [[Isma'il (s)]] and thus, they called Mecca, ''Bacca'' (where breaks the neck of oppressors), ''Bassasa'' (where repels mischief makers and disbelievers) and ''Silah'' (a safe place).<ref>Ibn Hisham.

Also some Jews used to draw their shoes as a symbol of respect to Haram. Also, it's been said that Companions of [[Jesus (s)]] walked on feet when arriving in Haram as a sign of respect.<ref>Fakihi, Muhammad b. Ishaq.

The holiness of Haram continued to be observed after Islam. For example, Companions of [[the Prophet (s)]] avoided committing any sins in Haram and prohibited each other from harassing or annoying others and even avoided staying there long for the fear of being disrespectful.<ref>Fakihi, Muhammad b. Ishaq. ''Akhbar Makka fi qadim al-dahr wa haditha''. vol. 2. p. 259-305</ref>

In some verses, [[Prophet Abraham (a)]] prayed that God makes Mecca a safe place: "And [mention] when Abraham said, "My Lord, make this a secure city and provide its people with fruits - whoever of them believes in Allah and [[Akharat|the Last Day]]".

In the Qur'an (2:125) the attribute "safe" is given to "al-Bayt" which has been interpreted by some exegetes as [[al-Haram al-Makki]]. There are different hadiths and interpretations about the attribute of "safety" that is mentioned in the Qur'an. Some exegetes have considered that the Qur'an talks about an objective reality which indicates that safety exists in the geographical area of Haram. In other words, they believe that the place has been created by [[God]] in a way that it's safe from disasters and tribulations, both in this world and the [[hereafter]].<ref>al-Sharif al-Radi.

P. 141-142</ref> In some hadiths, "safety of Haram" has been interpreted as the safety of animals for not being hunted by other animals or humans who enter that area.

Some exegetes denied the external reality of safety for Haram, and have interpreted the safety only as a legislated safety referring to the order of God regarding the observation of Haram's holiness and its rulings; Because there is no difference between Haram and other lands in the case of events like war, flood and earthquake which could endanger its safety.

The expanse of Haram has been fixed and known since the dawn of time, therefore, there are very few narrations about it. According to one of these narrations, the length and width of Haram are one ''Barid'' (In Arabia, a unit of distance equals 4 [[farsakhs]], 12 miles, and about 19.3 kilometers).

After Abraham (a), [[Isma'il]] reconstructed the indicators of Haram. In [[al-Jahiliyya|pre-Islam Age of Ignorance]], 'Adnan b. Udad and Qusay b. Kilab did the same at their own times. [[Quraysh]] rebuilt the indicators of Haram at the beginning of the Prophet's (s) mission. 8 years later, after conquering Mecca, Tamim b. Asad Khuza'i and Aswad b.
