Analyzing the Historical Discourse of the Qur'an of the Title Maqām Ibrāhīm

The term Maqām Ibrāhīm is used twice in the Qur'an, in verses 125 of al-Baqarah and 97 of Āl-i ʿImrān, The main question of this article is whether these two verses, in the context of their revelation, only wanted to convey a message to their audience about Abraham's stepping stone, or were they looking for another discourse by choosing the title Maqām Ibrāhīm? In this research, by analyzing the linguistic structure of Tajrīd, it was revealed that the Qur'anic title Maqām Ibrāhīm has undergone a change of meaning throughout history, in the form of narrowing of meaning. This Quranic title is used in the context of revelation, in the meaning of Abraham's place of worship and for all Kaʿbah, not just "stepping stone". Therefore, the Qur'an has called the House of Allah the Almighty, the place of Abraham (= the place of worship of Abraham) and with this title, in order to establish the context of the order to change the Qiblah (in verse 125 of al-Baqarah) and theoretical support for this order (in verse 97 of Āl-i ʿImrān), against the criticisms of the Jews. Madinah and their speech was from Bait al-Moqaddas.
