The First Qiblah-Masjid Al Aqsa to Holy Kabah

The Qiblah /Direction ….is
the direction towards the Kaaba in the Sacred Mosque in Makkah, which is used
by Muslims in various religious contexts, particularly the direction of prayer
for the Prayers Salah. 

The verses regarding the
Kabah and Qiblah need the attention. We all know that when the Holy Prophet
Muhammad ﷺ was in the Makaah the Muslim used to pray by turning their faces
towards Baiet ul Maqdas [Masjid Al Aqsa – Palestine]. Because until then Baiet
ul Maqdas was first Qiblaa.

But Prophet Muhammad ﷺ
had a different wish in his heart. Even after 16 to 17 months after migration
to Madinah Munawwarah Muslim used to pray by turning their faces towards the
First Qiblaa Awwal. Our Beloved Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad ﷺ was offering
prayer of Zuhr [noon] in a mosque in the village of Abu Salaam; Prophet
Muhammad ﷺ had a wish that Kabaah Ibrahimi [Holy Kabaah] is fixed as our [Muslims]
Qiblaa. Prophet Muhammad ﷺ looks towards the Heaven during his prayer.

Holy Quraan

Consider the Ayaat no 144, 

“We have been seeing you
turning your face to the heavens. So, We will certainly assign to you a Qiblah
that you would like. Now, turn your face in the direction of the Sacred Mosque [Al-Masjid-ul-Haram],
and [O Muslims], wherever you are, turn your faces in its direction. Even those
who have been given the Book know well that it is the truth from their Lord,
and Allaah is not unaware of what they do.”

Two Rakat of Zuhr Prayer
has been offered and two are remaining, the Holy Prophet Muhammad ﷺ turned his
face towards the Holy Kabah and finished the other two facing the Holy Kabah in
Makaah.

The mosque in which this
incident occurred is known as Masjid Al Qiblatayn meaning Masjid with two Qiblah’s.

 Just imagine what
would be the scene when Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was praying turning his face towards
Holy Kabah. May Allaah Kareem bless us to offer prayers five time regularly and
love the Holy Kabah. This is the House of Allaah Almighty, Allaah Almighty does
not need any place or house to live but it is for us [human beings] so that we
can offer prayers by turning our faces towards it…
