| Kaabah is the direction for prayer for us Muslims. It is never an object of worship. Allah, the Only One God, has ordained that the Kaabah become the direction for Muslims' prayer. In a way, it is a symbol of unity, just everywhere you go on this earth, when you pray, the direction is same, the qiblat, the Kaabah. It is a matter of direction. While praying, we worship Allah, towards/ in the direction of the Kaabah. |

| ...as al-Bukhaari (1597) and Muslim (1270) narrated in their Saheehs that �Umar ibn al-Khattaab (may Allaah be pleased with him) said of the Black Stone when he kissed it: �By Allaah, I know that you are only a stone and you can neither bring benefit nor cause harm. Were it not that I had seen the Messenger of Allaah kissing you I would not have kissed you.� So when we Muslims pray facing the direction of the Ka�bah, we do so because Allaah has commanded us to do that. If he had commanded us to pray facing in any other direction, we would have had to do that. What we should point out here is that our prayer facing the direction of the Ka�bah has nothing to do with the structure of the Ka�bah, rather it has to do with its location. If it were to be destroyed, we would still pray in that direction, not to that structure. Hence we find that nowadays Muslims pray on the second storey and on the roof of the Grand Mosque in the Sanctuary of Makkah, facing the direction of the Ka�bah even though it is not directly in front of them. This is what millions of Muslims do throughout the world, praying in the direction of the Ka�bah even though they cannot see it. This demonstrates the great difference between the laws of Islam and the actions of the mushrikeen (polytheists) whose worship of their idols, stones and trees ceases when these objects cease to exist. Therefore if the mushrik cannot see his object of worship or idol, he does not face the direction of that thing. We ask Allaah to bestow upon us sincere faith, and to make us steadfast in it until we meet Him� Aameen. from: Source |

| Translation of Verse 177: Surat al-Baqarah, Al-Qur'an It is not righteousness that ye turn your faces towards East or West; but it is righteousness to believe in Allah and the Last Day, and the Angels, and the Book, and the Messengers; to spend of your substance, out of love for Him, for your kin, for orphans, for the needy, for the wayfarer, for those who ask, and for the ransom of slaves; to be steadfast in prayer, and practise regular charity, to fulfil the contracts which ye have made; and to be firm and patient, in pain (or suffering) and adversity, and throughout all periods of panic. Such are the people of truth, the God-fearing. |
