who built the kaaba stone according to the quran
Ibrahim and Ishmael
title: Kaaba text: where the sacred world intersected with the profane; the embedded Black Stone was a further symbol of this as a meteorite that had fallen from the sky and linked heaven and earth. According to Sarwar, about 400 years before the birth of Muhammad, a man named "Amr bin Lahyo bin Harath bin Amr ul-Qais bin Thalaba bin Azd bin Khalan bin Babalyun bin Saba", who was descended from Qahtan and was the king of Hijaz had placed a Hubal idol onto the roof of the "Kaaba". This idol was one of the chief deities of the ruling tribe Quraysh. The title: Kaaba text: on Allah's instructions. Ibn Kathir, the famous commentator on the Quran, mentions two interpretations among the Muslims on the origin of the "Kaaba". One is that the shrine was a place of worship for Angels before the creation of man. Later, a house of worship was built on the location by Adam and Eve which was lost during the flood in Noah's time and was finally rebuilt by Abraham and Ishmael as mentioned later in the Quran.

The Quran contains several verses regarding the origin of the "Kaaba". It states that the "Kaaba" was the first House of Worship, and that it was built by Ibrahim and Ishmael title: Kaaba text: have preceded the "Kaaba", it was the first "House of God", dedicated solely to Him, built by His instruction and sanctified and blessed by Him as stated in Quran 22:26–29. A Hadith in Sahih al-Bukhari states that the "Kaaba" was the First Mosque on Earth, and the Second Mosque was the Temple in Jerusalem. While Abraham was building the "Kaaba", an angel brought to him the Black Stone which he placed in the eastern corner of the structure.
