Maqam Ibrahim (Station of Abraham)


                     On the east side of the Kaaba, about two meters high,
                one meter wide, there is a rectangular structure covered in
                glass on its top part and marble on the bottom. This structure
                protects a stone that Prophet Abraham (pbuh) stepped on

                while building the Kaaba. Islamic and historical sources ac-
                cept this as the point mentioned in the Qur'an as "the Maqam
                of Abraham."
