How Would An Islamic Astronaut Know Which Way To Face When Praying? by LogicMind: 11:33pm On Apr 14, 2012
How does an islamic astronaut in outer space know which way to face when praying?
How many times does he pray as a day in outer space is no longer 24 hours? There is no morning, afternoon, evening or night.

And to God belongs the east and the west. So wherever you [might] turn,there is the Face of God. Indeed, God
is all-Encompassing and Knowing. {2:115}


If you are in a place or condition where you can't find the Qibla.... Any direction you face is fine.

This applies in Airplanes or travelling in bus.
