Station of Abraham, Holy place at Great Mosque of Mecca, Saudi Arabia

The Station of Abraham contains a stone block with footprints believed to belong to Prophet Abraham when constructing the Kaaba.

During the reconstruction of the Kaaba, this stone served as a platform for Abraham to reach higher sections of the sacred building.

Muslims gather around this enclosed structure during prayers, following the Quranic instruction to use it as a place of worship.

The stone rests inside a golden hexagonal chamber protected by thick glass panels within the Great Mosque complex.

The stone displays visible indentations interpreted as human footprints, set in a metallic-colored compound that preserves their shape.
