yes, this is what the verse is saying.....but my friend, NO matter how hard you try, your Good deed cannot outweigh your bad deed. The bible say our God is a good and righteous judge, God will not ignore sin. Take for example, a man kill your love one and he was charge to court, on the day of judgment, the man pleaded and say "he judge, I've been doing many good deed, pleased forgive me" and he was forgiven. Will you call the judge a Good and righteous judge ? Beside do you really think after years of prostration, you died, you will be taken to hell until judgment ? This is lies told by satan.
Good deeds cn outweigh ur bad deeds.their are hadeeths dat states how d rewards of good outweigh bad deed.as for sin,all sins are nt equal.we hv major and minor sins.major sins are erased by seekin 4giveness while good deeds erase minor sins..later i would bring up d evidences for it bt for now make do with d fundamentals..

Prayer is respectful communication
between man and God. Christians are
free to pray to their God from anywhere, from any direction, in any (respectable) position, at any time of the day or night and they can be assured that their beloved God would listen to them. To insist that you have to face a specific direction to talk to God is an insult to his Almightiness.

Psalms 4:1: “When I call, answer me,
O my righteous God.”

However, whenever Muslims want to
pray to Allah, they are commanded to do so at certain specific times, face a specific direction and follow a specific ritual.

Surah 2:144: We have seen the
turning of thy face to heaven (for
guidance, O Muhammad). And now
verily We shall make thee turn (in
prayer) toward a qiblah which is dear
to thee. So turn thy face toward the
Inviolable Place of Worship, and ye (O
Muslims), wheresoever ye may be,
turn your faces (when ye pray)
toward it. (Pickthall)

QUESTION :
1.At the time when Allah revealed Surah
2:144 to change the Qiblah from
Jerusalem to Mecca, the Ka’ba was still
a pagan shrine housing 360 pagan
idols. Why would Allah permit his
Prophet to bow towards the Ka’ba while
it was still polluted with 360 pagan
idols?
2. Why must the prayers of the Muslims
be directed towards the pagan shrine
in order to reach the ears of Allah?
3. Since the Blackstone was venerated by the pagans during pre-Islamic days,
why are Muslims all over the world
commanded to face this very pagan
Blackstone whenever they pray?
4.If you say it to unify Muslims, why are
these very same Muslims who while
praying unitedly in Arabic, still fighting
and killing each other?

Dindinrin, you can not differentiate between Prayer and Worship.
That is your problem

And besides why must you go to church on sunday!!!

That's the limitation of the English language. They call it both prayer but they are not the same. Sallah is the one that has prescribed times but dua also called prayer can be done anywhere at anytime.

Muhammad, a mercy to the world ? Irony !!!

How is Muhammad a mercy to any nation ? He came beheading people and taking their wives as sex slaves. Because of Muhammad many homes are weeping, many homeless, many in the hospital, many in hunger, many children made orphans, yet to people who have been hypnotized islamically, Muhammad is a mercy to the world. May God deliver you from islamic bondage.
