May the peace of Christ be with you!
I appreciate your prompt replies, Wael :) Please feel free to take your time though. There's no shortage of questions from where I'm sitting... I'll just keep the ball rolling - hehe!
Quote:Mecca where the Kaaba located which is our <b>Qibla i.e. the direction Muslims face during their prayers</b>. For instance, if Muslims want to offer Salaah, it is possible that some may wish to face north, while some may wish to face south. <b>In order to unite Muslims in their worship </b> <b>of the One True God</b>, Muslims, wherever they may be, are asked to face in only one direction. If some Muslims live towards the west of the Ka'ba they face the east. Similarly if they live towards the east of the Ka'ba they face the west.
Does the Qur'an teach that all Muslims must pray towards Kaaba? I'm certain all Muslims do, but if they don't, are their prayers still acceptable?
Quote:You have to feel it when you go to Makkah; Insh a Allah.
I'm forbidden to enter Mecca. I'm Catholic, Alhamdulilah :) But I watched a documentary once called "Mecca" produced by National Geographic. It took my breath away!
God bless.
