Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: “And take the station of Ibrahim as a place of prayer”

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He also says, may Allah bless you, and to complete that:
And [mention] when Abraham said, "My Lord, make this a secure city and provide its people with fruits - whoever of them believes in Allah and the Last Day."وَإِذْ قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ رَبِّ اجْعَلْ هَٰذَا بَلَدًا آمِنًا وَارْزُقْ أَهْلَهُ مِنَ الثَّمَرَاتِ مَنْ آمَنَ مِنْهُم بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ
[Al-Baqarah 2:126]
.

Answer:
There remains in the interpretation of the verse before this,
And take, [O believers], from the standing place of Abraham a place of prayer.وَاتَّخِذُوا مِن مَّقَامِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ مُصَلًّى
[Al-Baqarah 2:125]
, what is the Station of Ibrahim? The Station of Ibrahim is the rock upon which he used to stand when building the Ka'bah. It would rise with him and lower him, and it remained. The traces of his (peace and blessings be upon him) feet remained in the rock; the traces of his noble feet remained in this rock. It is one of the signs of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He).
And take, [O believers], from the standing place of Abraham a place of prayer.وَاتَّخِذُوا مِن مَّقَامِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ مُصَلًّى
[Al-Baqarah 2:125]
Allah made it so that one prays near it. So he places it between himself and the Ka'bah and prays facing it and the Noble Ka'bah. Yes.
