Peace
Just to clarify... most of the oil/gas resources in the Hejaz are in the eastern provinces, and the hejaz has only been SA until recently with the Wahabi Saudi family take-over...
Lets steer clear from magic please..., and I do not wish to get into an argument about Djinns either -

By the way, ALL OF YOU, including me
SHAKIR And even if you bring to those who have been given the Book every sign they would not follow your qiblah, nor can you be a follower of their qiblah, neither are they the followers of each other's qiblah, and if you follow their desires after the knowledge that has come to you, then you shall most surely be among the unjust.

This is a true story.
In my small town there was a woman who was very eager to go to Hajj, and to taste the water of zam zam which everyone was saying was very delicious and sweet. One day she knew someone came from hajj and had zam zam water with them. She went and was served the water. She sipped from the glass, put it down and stayed quiet.- Heh? Why are you quiet? How did you find the water?
The woman replied - If this is the delicious zam zam, I am now worried about the taste of al-Kawthar!
- Heh? Why are you quiet? How did you find the water?
-
You mean qibla is not a direction towards any building?

Another verse of key importance
002.143
YUSUFALI Thus, have We made of you an Ummat justly balanced, that ye might be witnesses over the nations, and the Messenger a witness over yourselves; and We appointed the Qibla to which thou wast used, only to test those who followed the Messenger from those who would turn on their heels (From the Faith). Indeed it was (A change) momentous, except to those guided by Allah. And never would Allah Make your faith of no effect. For Allah is to all people Most surely full of kindness, Most Merciful.
PICKTHAL Thus We have appointed you a middle nation, that ye may be witnesses against mankind, and that the messenger may be a witness against you. And We appointed the qiblah which ye formerly observed only that We might know him who followeth the messenger, from him who turneth on his heels. In truth it was a hard (test) save for those whom Allah guided. But it was not Allah's purpose that your faith should be in vain, for Allah is Full of Pity, Merciful toward mankind.
SHAKIR And thus We have made you a medium (just) nation that you may be the bearers of witness to the people and (that) the Messenger may be a bearer of witness to you; and We did not make that which you would have to be the qiblah but that We might distinguish him who follows the Messenger from him who turns back upon his heels, and this was surely hard except for those whom Allah has guided aright; and Allah was not going to make your faith to be fruitless; most surely Allah is Affectionate, Merciful to the people.Damn, just read the whole surah!
Edit Oh, surprise...
002.144
SHAKIR Indeed We see the turning of your face to heaven, so We shall surely turn you to a qiblah which you shall like; turn then your face towards the Sacred Mosque, and wherever you are, turn your face towards it, and those who have been given the Book most surely know that it is the truth from their Lord; and Allah is not at all heedless of what they do. - Heh? Why are you quiet? How did you find the water?

Correction
Overall I do not have many problems with Hadith, I just do not accept them as a source of law, divine guidance, or even accurate historical accounts, The Quran is far enough for me, and if I would follow most it says, I will be very pious indeed...
thanks to Bro Tanveer -
OPF .........ok, let me study these verses again and I would come back...... peace

From my POV, the verse 2.144 clearly shows that you must point toward a physical location on Earth. Unless "bayt-al-haram" is not on Earth
-
So, are you turning now towards i? (The verse says wherever you are...)
Wherever you are, "turn" your face towards it.
Turn Verb - To rotate, act on by increasing angular momentum, etc.
-
Yes, we can have a picture of "it" in our room and turn the face towards "it" whats the problem?

It doesn't say "toward any old resemblance of the sacred house", but "toward THE sacred house".
Yes. Wonder what the consensus of the mullahs is pertaining to this topic when we are on a roundabout...

You mean "THE sacred house" the one built by Ibrahim?
