When Prophet Abraham (Peace be upon him) built the Holy Ka'ba, he left his footprints on the mud. Those footprints were preserved. Inside this display the footprint of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) can be seen. This is called Maqam-e-Ibrahim and it is located inside the Grand Mosque of Makkah, in front of Ka'ba. It is important to note that Prophet Abraham was the father of prophet Isaac and prophet Ishmael (Peace be upon all of them).
The black area in the middle of this casing is a rock called Hajr-e-Aswad (Back stone). This black stone is mounted on one of the corners of Holy Ka'ba. When Muslims start circumambulating the Ka'ba during pilgrimage, they start the walk in counter clockwise direction from this point. They kiss the black-stone or point towards it before starting the next round. It is believed to be the rock from the Heavens. Many people think that this was a meteoroid.
The footprint of Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him).
Note: The authenticity of this footprint is not known.
