Some important ayat for muslims to know and ponder

[Pristine]

Recently someone posted some statements saying that Quran does not say where to face while praying.

Also statements were made repeatedly that Quran is the complete and only source of Islam.

The following are the translations of two verses of 2. Al-Baqarah for information of all muslims, in case someone is discussing the same topic with you.

(Translation: Courtesy http://www.unn.ac.uk/societies/islamic/index.htm))

**150. And from wheresoever you start forth (for prayers), turn your face in the direction of Al-Masjid-al-Harâm (at Makkah), and wheresoever you are, turn your faces towards, it (when you pray) so that men may have no argument against you except those of them that are wrong-doers, so fear them not, but fear Me! - And so that I may complete My Blessings on you and that you may be guided.

151. Similarly (to complete My Blessings on you) We have sent among you a Messenger (Muhammad SAW) of your own, reciting to you Our Verses (the Qur’ân) and sanctifying you, and teaching you the Book (the Qur’ân) and the Hikmah (i.e. Sunnah, Islâmic laws and Fiqh - jurisprudence), and teaching you that which you used not to know.

**

…and Allah Knows Best
