God is everyway on earth, but for uniqueness HE said we should face Kabba

Chapter : 2 (Al-Baqarah) Verse : 178

It is not righteousness that you turn your faces to the East or the West,
but truly righteous is he who believes in Allah and the Last Day and the angels and the Book
and the Prophets, and spends his money out of love for Him, on the kindred and the orphans
and the needy and the wayfarer and those who ask for charity, and for ransoming the captives;
and observes prayer and pays the Zakat; and those who fulfil their promise when they have made
one, and the patient in poverty and afflictions and the steadfast in the time of war; it is these who
have proved truthful and it is these who are truly God-Fearing.

The kabba

Chapter : 2 (Al-Baqarah) Verse : 126

And remember the time when We made the House a resort for mankind and a place of security; We said, 'Take ye the station of Abraham as a place of prayer.' And we commanded Abraham and Ishmael, saying, 'Purify My House for those who perform the circuit and for those who remain therein for devotion and those who bow down and fall prostrate in Prayer.'

Topic: "Why We Face The East In Prayer"

@abdulg,

We've seen those verses before; but it still does not answer the question that is being pursued in another thread. Besides, the topic is misleading both to you and your fellow Muslims: it is not a question of facing the EAST; but of facing the Qiblah! If you're arguing for the EAST again, you will invite a whole fresh debate that has been scored and done with:

                   https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-53767.32.html#msg1123203

Please correct the topic, and offer us some reasonable answers to the question, if you may. Perhaps the Topic should rather read:

"Why We Face The Kaa'ba/Qiblah In Prayer"


Cheers.  smiley

Take a look at the other thread:

         Why Do Muslims Face The East When Praying?
