Maqam E Ibraheem
The Maqame Ibrahim refers to the stone on which Ibrahim (upon him be peace) stood on while he was building the Ka’bah. As Ismail (upon him be peace) passed stones onto Ibrahim (upon him be peace) and as Ibrahim (upon him be peace) continued laying them in place the Maqame Ibrahim miraculously continued rising higher and higher as the walls rose. Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) caused the trace of his footprints to remain on the stone as a reminder to the believers among his descendants.
Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) fulfilled three wishes that he had. One of these is that when he proposed to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) that the Maqame Ebrahim should be made a place for performing salah (prayer). Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) revealed the following verse in the Quran in Surah al-Baqarah:“Take the Maqam of Ebrahim as a place of salah (a place behind which you perform two rakahs of salah after Tawaf)” [2:125]
