Mecca began as an empty and desolate valley. God directed Abraham to take Hagar and Ishmael there. The Bible says that Abraham took them to "Paran". In fact, the very first name for the valley of Mecca was, in Arabic, "Faran". The name means "The two runaways". That is because after Abraham left Hagar and Ishmael there, a caravan from Yemen came through the valley and found there only a woman and her child; so they thought they were two runaways. That is where the first name of Mecca came from.
Abraham used to visit his son in Paran, from time to time. They, together, layed the foundations for the House - the Kaabah.
Unlike what Bible scholars will telly you, Ishmael was included in God's Covenant with Abraham. through ishmael came the last prophet of God - Muhammad.
