Muslims believed that the Kaaba was built by Abraham and Ishmael on Allah's instruction in Mecca.
This is found in Suras-
2:127 And remember Abraham and Ishmael raised the foundations of the House (With this prayer): "Our Lord! Accept (this service) from us: For Thou art the All-Hearing, the All-knowing.
3:96 Verily, the first House (of worship) appointed for mankind was that at Bakkah (Makkah), full of blessing, and a guidance for mankind.,
22:26 Behold! We gave the site, to Abraham, of the (Sacred) House, (saying): "Associate not anything (in worship) with Me; and sanctify My House for those who compass it round, or stand up, or bow, or prostrate themselves (therein in prayer).
As stated in the verses above, the Kaaba was the first house of worship for Islam and more importantly - a guidance for mankind.
Which meant that the people living in Mecca at the time Abraham supposedly built the Kaaba would have come to know from Abraham of the religion of Allah.
Yet, in other verses of the quran, it claimed Muhammad as the first 'warner' or messenger to the people in Mecca.
11:49 That is from the news of the unseen which We reveal to you, [O Muhammad]. You knew it not, neither you nor your people, before this. So be patient; indeed, the [best] outcome is for the righteous .
32:3 Or do they say, "He invented it"? Rather, it is the truth from your Lord, [O Muhammad], that you may warn a people to whom no warner has come before you [so] perhaps they will be guided.
36:6 That you may warn a people whose forefathers were not warned, so they are unaware.
is the quran implying that Abraham went through great distances in the desert, built the Kaaba (which is to be a guidance for mankind) and left the place without a word of why he built the kaaba and for what purpose? Such that it rested on Muhammad to be the first person to bring Allah's message to the people in Mecca?
Abraham supposedly lived 2000 BC ago, so the kaaba stood for about 2600 years without any word on why it is there?
