The Hebrew text called it Baca, saying, [ בְּעֵמֶק הַבָּכָא ], and it reads: (be’eamaq Habaka), meaning the valley of Baca. The text as it appears in the catholic translation is as follows: Passing through the vale of tears, they make it a place of springs. For the lawgiver shall give a blessing, they shall go from virtue to virtue: the God of gods shall be seen in Zion (Psalms 84/6-7). This great name (Baca) is Muhammads (PBUH) hometown name. The name that the Holy Quran uses to name the holy town of Makkah {Verily, the first House (of worship) appointed for mankind was that at Bakkah (Makkah), full of blessing, and a guidance for Al-Alamîn (the mankind and jinns).} (Al- Emran: 96) The blessing of this house is the multiple rewards that God gives its residents and visitors. One prayer (as Muhammad (PBUH) said) is equal to more than one thousand prayers anywhere else1, and that agrees with what comes in Psalm: For a day in your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere.
