Wrong Method of Qibla

My Reply

Dear Brothers

Assalamalaikum

This is the method of experiment that has suggested by you for Qibla finding used with a globe and string to find the shortest distance to Kaaba. Some people in west and North America follow this method.  I have found major mistakes that cannot be solved at any cost and it would be utterly against to the Message of Unity in Islam and also the concept of rows in prayer. Because while we apply the shortest distance method on a globe, we get a point that is immediately opposite To Kaaba which shows equal distance from this point to Kaaba through all directions. So the result is people should be back to back to all directions as shown in the animation above. And we enlarge the point with rows, the rules and regulations of prayers cannot be followed here like the position of imam (mihrab). The Imams should be in front of a straight row or inside of a curved row.     There for a prayer cannot be applied from this point up to half of the globe. So it is not only against Qur’an and Sunnah but also it leads to Jahiliyah. 

wassalam -Abdul Rahim.

 

WaAlaykum AsSalaam w.r. w.b. 

Dear Sir.

I have told you that it is not our personal matter, so be careful. But you are still saying something to your wish. 

Luckily the point on the other side of world - opposite Makkah is in the middle of the Ocean - no one lives there. And there are no rows of Saf reaching it.

See! This is the way you are making rules. “Luckily” means, it is concern to whom, To you or to me or to Allah? We make rules without any idea of completion. If it creates any difficulty while apply you say something to escape. When you saw the globe in the animation, you thought it is full of ocean. In fact, this area is filled with Islands French Polynesia

But it is true that at that point one can face the Qiblah in any direction.

You made a new rule, but you think before you say some thing, It is not our personal matters. The intention of Qibla is neutralized by this rule means the people of Polynesia no need Qibla. Be cautious, you are creating evils.

By the way there is one more point where one can pray in any direction - that is Inside the Kaaba Cubular building itself!

Again you are making new rules, this means the Kaba and opposite point of Kaba is same (Astagfirullah) Do you know where the place is described to take Prayers from Kaba. You cannot pray inside the Kaba, Please do not assume the matter as you wish.   

Brother please try to understand and do not be blinded by Br. Ali Manikfan's erroneous arguments.

We do not say to computer try to understand, if the data is logical it will accept/ if illogical it will reject. Because computer is not obliged to anything or anybody even Charles Babbage the father of computer. I am not obligated to Ali Manikfan or any other except Allah who created me and taught me; and I know very well I am alone when the day of Judgment. 

Also in your International Date Line model - your (or Br. Ali Manikfan's) theory would say people stand back to back in prayers. So what is the difference?

Yes, now you come to the point. The difference is the Days. International Date Line is the border of days. Eastern side is one day ahead than Western side, It divides the lands as East and West. This line is described through only water, neither through villages nor houses like lunar date lines. The people are back to back in different lands which are days in different. The line cannot be illustrated through lands like the new point in French Polynesia which is to opposite Qibla as your new assumption of Qibla. Do you know why this line is zigzag even though the opposite side Greenwich line is straight? The Greenwich is man made line for standardize the time, But IDL made by Allah to separate the days, Who has established the days as seven. No body can change their days. Days are created by him before he created man.  Can you change your Friday to Thursday?

This Line is most important for Muslims, This is the meekatul Qiblah, This line is not man made one but he named this line as INTER NATIONAL DATE LINE.

Insha Allah, Tomorrow we will reach at the truth.     

WasSalaam.
