BAKKA IS MAKKAH

The Holy Ka'bah built by Abraham and his son Ishmael is in Makkah, and is mentioned in the Holy Qur'an in Surah 48:v24. Another name for Makkah is Bakka, depending on the dialect of the tribe. The name "Bakka" is also mentioned in Surah 3:96: "Verily, the first House (of worship) appointed for mankind was that in Bakka (Makkah), full of blessing and guidance for all people." Amazingly enough, this word "Bakka" was mentioned by Prophet David (pbuh) in his Psalm 84:6: "Who passing through the valley of Bakka made it a well, the rain also filleth the pools." The water well mentioned here is the well-known well of "Zamzam," which is still present close to the Ka'bah in Makkah as I mentioned earlier.
