The Maqam e Ibrahīm (Station of Ibrahim) is a small square stone associated with Hazrat Ibrahim, Hazrat Ismail and their building of the Kaaba. The imprint on the stone came from Hazrat Ibrahim's feet. The imprints of Hazrat Ibrahim's feet appeared when Hazrat Ibrahim stood on the stone while building the Kaaba; when the walls became too high, Hazrat Ibrahim stood on the maqam, which miraculously rose up to let him continue building and also miraculously went down in order to allow Ismail to hand him stones.

Some statements stand out in your memory for the power with which they resonate through you mind.

And then there are the many other places that anchor our lives - where we live, eat, work and have fun.
