Facing The Ka'bah

Facing The Ka’bah

When the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) stood for prayer, he would face the Ka’bah in both obligatory and voluntary prayers1, and he (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) ordered that, saying to the "one who prayed badly"2 : When you stand for prayer, perform ablution prefectly, then face the qiblah and say takbeer.3
“During a journey, he (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) would pray voluntary prayers and witr on his mount, wherever it faced carrying him [east or west].”

The saying of Allaah, the Exalted, “Wherever you turn, there is the Face of Allaah” (Baqarah, 2:115) applies to this.

“[Sometimes] when he intended to pray non-obligatory prayers on his she-camel, he would make it face the qiblah, say takbeer, and pray towards wherever his mount turned its face.”

“He would make rukoo’ and sajdah on his mount by lowering his head, making the sajdah lower than the rukoo’.”

“When he intended to pray obligatory prayers, he would dismount and face the qiblah.”

In prayer during severe fear, he (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) set the example for his ummah to pray "on foot, standing on their feet, or mounted; facing the qiblah or not facing it"9, and he also said, When they (the armies) meet, then it (i.e. the prayer) is takbeer and indication with the head.

He (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) also used to say: What is between the east and the west is qiblah.

Jaabir (radiallaahu 'anhu) said:

“Once, when we were with the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) on an expedition, the sky was cloudy, so we tried to find the Qibla but we differed, so each one of us prayed in a different direction, and each of us drew marks in front of him in order to mark our positions. In the morning, we looked at it and found that we had not prayed towards the Qiblah. So we mentioned this to the Prophet (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) [but he did not order us to repeat (the prayer)] and he said: Your prayer was sufficient.”

“He (sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) used to pray towards Bait al-Muqaddas [with the Ka’bah in front of him] before the following verse was revealed: “We see the turning of your faces to the heavens; now shall we turn you to a Qiblah that shall please you: turn then your faces in the direction of the Sacred Mosque” (Baqarah 2:144). When it was revealed he faced the Ka’bah. There were people at Qubaa’ praying Fajr when someone came to them and said, 'Verily the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) has had some of the Qur’aan revealed to him last night and he has been ordered to face the Ka’bah, [verily] so face it’. Their faces were towards Shaam, so they turned round [and their Imaam turned round to face the qiblah along with them].”

What is the exact translation of Hajra-e-Aswad?
Who is the angel Gabriel(AS)?
Why did this angel brought a white rock?
Has the scientist ever examined the rock for its origin and composition.
Do we have any evidence such as pics showing the rock as white?
Is there just one rock or more and how many?

thx

Black stone.

Who is the angel Gabriel(AS)?

An ANGEL.

Why did this angel brought a white rock?

So that it turns into black.

Has the scientist ever examined the rock for its origin and composition.

No one ever dare to remove it from where it is.

Do we have any evidence such as pics showing the rock as white?

"Faith" does not need "pics". Do you have pics/movie that God really incarnated to other forms? "Sayings", "Traditions" tell us that.

Is there just one rock or more and how many?

One.

It is obvious Gabriel is an angel but how does this angel fit the plot?
Why did Gabriel bring the rock and and not somone else?
Why did Gabriel bring the rock and not something else?
Why a piece of Rock and not, lets say for example some other material.

**Why did this angel brought a white rock?

So that it turns into black.**

Hmmm...OK so the colour has significance!

**Has the scientist ever examined the rock for its origin and composition.

Why?

Interesting...I would say that the concept is similar in some respect!
Interesting that the faith needs a rock though!

Do you know other parts of the “plot”?

Why did Gabriel bring the rock and and not somone else?

Had it someone else, you’d have asked why him and not Gabriel AH. :rolleyes:

Why did Gabriel bring the rock and not something else?

Same response as above.

Why a piece of Rock and not, lets say for example some other material.

Read above.

**Has the scientist ever examined the rock for its origin and composition.

It has been made part of “Ka’ba” which is a “center” for Muslims all over the world.

**Do we have any evidence such as pics showing the rock as white?

Faith does not need a rock!. Rock serves as a ‘reminder’ or ‘sign’ just as your wrist watch or wall clock.

^ lollllllll you are funny!

The rock has no religious value except that it was used to build the kaa'ba and our Holy Prophet (SAW) kissed it, upon which after the death of the Holy Prophet (SAW), Hazrat Umer (RA) said,"You are but a rock, had the Messenger of Allah not kissed you, I wouldn't have either."

Interesting answer.

So in conclusion there are a lot of questions that cannot be answered.

It is not for any individual to question or answer.

So one cannot say that ones religion is better then others!!!!

Its down to one's faith!

Thanks all

:hehe: instead of looking at answers to your questions, you look at other posts and make conclusions. :hehe:

Muslims tell me Islam is pure and simple and “black and white!!!”

By interacting with you I realised the difference in individual understanding of the religion and the purity!

o we glorify ur gratitude for ur divine interaction :hehe:
