Also known as Zuhrah ibn Kilab ibn Murrah ibn Ka'b ibn Lu'ayy ibn Ghalib, he was born into the famous Quraysh tribe. When Qusai came of age, a man from the tribe of Banu Khuza'a named Hulail was the trustee of the Kaaba . Qusai married his daughter and, according to Hulail's will, got the trusteeship of the Kaaba after him. He is reputed to have brought great honour and illustriousness to his tribe, due to his wisdom. He reconstructed the Kaaba from a state of decay, and made the Arab people build their houses around it. He is known to have built the first "town hall" in the Arabian Peninsula . Leaders of different clans met in this hall to discuss their social, commercial, cultural and politcal problems. A provident leader, Qusai created laws so that Pilgrim s who went to Mecca were supplied with food and water, which was paid for by a tax that he persuaded his people to pay. Qusai had just one son, named Abd Al-Manaf Ibn Qusai . EXTERNAL LINKS
