Qadam-e-Rasul ( Arabic: قدم الرسول) (English: Footprint of the Messenger) is a type of veneration of Muhammad. It comes from the belief started early in Islam that when Muhammad stepped on a rock his footprint left an imprint. This belief was never accepted by orthodox branches of Islam;[ citation needed] however, the idea was disseminated widely and led to the creation of many shrines around such imprints. [1] Some examples are the Shrine of the Holy Footprint in Delhi and in Cuttack in India and the displays in the Topkapı Palace and the Eyüp Sultan Mosque at Istanbul. [2]
