Maqam Ibrahim

Common card · No. 286120

The Maqām Ibrāhīm (Arabic: مَقَام إِبْرَاهِيْم, lit. 'Station of Abraham') is a small square stone associated with Abraham, Ishmael and their building of the Kaaba in what is now the Great Mosque of Mecca in the Hejaz region of Saudi Arabia. According to Islam, the imprint on the stone came from Abraham's feet. It is the only standing historic structure in the Mataf area out of at least six others, which were removed to clear the area for the circumambulation (tawaf).
