Question:
Abu 'Umar says: Shaykh, regarding the Maqam Ibrahim and the verse[Al-Baqarah 2:125], I also ask, Shaykh, about the spot on which the glass was placed. Tell us about the verse and about this?
Answer:
Yes, this is the stone on which Ibrahim (peace be upon him) stood while building the House, and it was raised up with him so that he could build and hand the stones to Isma'il, and he (peace be upon him) was building. Allah preserved the imprint of his feet on this stone as a reminder for the Muslims, a lesson, and a warning.[Al-Baqarah 2:125] Meaning, at this stone on which he stood and where the imprint of his feet is, the Muslim prays facing the Ka'bah, facing the Ka'bah, praying to Allah (Mighty and Majestic) facing the Ka'bah. Yes.
Abu 'Umar says: Shaykh, regarding the Maqam Ibrahim and the verse
