95. Take ye the station of Abraham as a place of Prayer
[2:126] And remember the time when We made the House a resort for mankind and a place of security; and take ye the station of Abraham as a place of Prayer. And We commanded Abraham and Ishmael, saying, ‘Purify My House for those who perform the circuit and those who remain therein for devotion and those who bow down and fall prostrate in Prayer.’
[3:98] In it are manifest Signs; it is the place of Abraham; and whoso enters it, enters peace. And pilgrimage to the House is a duty which men — those who can find a way thither — owe to Allah. And whoever disbelieves, let him remember that Allah is surely independent of all creatures.

Well, now-a-days, kindly pray a little bit behind ‘the station of Abraham’, as now that exact location is used by those doing the tawaf around the Ka’aba…
The word used in Quran is “Maqaam” which means station or status, I.e. purity of mind etc. It should be contrasted with the Arabic word “Muqaam” which signifies a place.
Allah has told us to “take the high level of purity of Abraham as a guide for our prayers.”
I believe it is the spiritual status or station of Abraham a.s. that is being described and not any special place in Mutaaf. Allah knows best.
