كَانَ ٱلنَّاسُ أُمَّةٗ وَٰحِدَةٗ فَبَعَثَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلنَّبِيِّـۧنَ مُبَشِّرِينَ وَمُنذِرِينَ وَأَنزَلَ مَعَهُمُ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ بِٱلۡحَقِّ لِيَحۡكُمَ بَيۡنَ ٱلنَّاسِ فِيمَا ٱخۡتَلَفُواْ فِيهِۚ وَمَا ٱخۡتَلَفَ فِيهِ إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوهُ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا جَآءَتۡهُمُ ٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتُ بَغۡيَۢا بَيۡنَهُمۡۖ فَهَدَى ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لِمَا ٱخۡتَلَفُواْ فِيهِ مِنَ ٱلۡحَقِّ بِإِذۡنِهِۦۗ وَٱللَّهُ يَهۡدِي مَن يَشَآءُ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطٖ مُّسۡتَقِيمٍ

KIBLA قبله
That TOWARDS which ONE consistently REMAINS FOCUSSED
وہ جسے ہر وقت سامنے رکھا جائے
1. Always remains in front of our eyes.
2. The Purpose/Way of Life
3. The CENTRAL & HIGH level of Mind set/Psyche and its PRACTICAL Application
(فکر و عمل)
For the above purpose, the CENTRAL MANIFESTED/PHYSICAL PLACE is called KIBLA.
KIBLA of Jews and Christians was BAIT AL-MAQDAS
بيت المقدس,
But, as this became the PART of Bani-Israel therefore, it could not be the CENTER OF ISLAMIC WAY OF LIFE.
Our beloved NABI/RASOOL, after Hijrat, ESTABLISHED THE FOUNDATIONS OF ISLAMIC STATE in MADINA but,
It was his ERNEST DESIRE that they should be the CUSTODIANS OF KA’BAH in MAKKA.
Allah promised it and so it happened (2:144).
The CENTRAL PURPOSE behind KA’ABA being declared as QIBLA, was to find out those people who were following Nabi saws. (2:142 & 143).
IMPORTANT NOTE
Nowhere in Quran, it is mentioned that our beloved NABI/RASOOL used to offer his Prayer facing
بيت المقدس
and later changed his direction towards MAKKA.
Also, it is NOT mentioned in Quran to FACE towards KA’ABA while praying.
22: 30 (Al-Hajj)
حالت إحرام میں حرمات الله كى تعظيم كرو
22: 30 (Al-Hajj)
حالت إحرام میں شکار کی ممانعت ہے ۔
5: 96 (Al-Ma’eedah)
لیکن صرف خشکی کے جانور کی ۔
If we go against the COMMAND then one has to offer KAFFARAH كفاره.
NOTE: The word IHRAM إحرام is NOT mentioned in Quran.
