    Turning the face to sky means 'confusion' ?? Are you sure ??

    Confused is also a translation of the Arabic word , which I meant.

        i am not saying that the Quran is talking about confusion, however looking up at the sky is a natural reaction to confusion, not to physically see God. i remember many points in my life, even as an infant, looking at the stars pondering about God and the nature of existence and reality.

        i think the point is being unnecessarily laboured.

          Surprised at your understanding
          Actual verse =

          (2144) We have seen you turning your face over and over again towards Heaven. Now, therefore, We turn you towards the qiblah that you like.

          Just an example
          If I say to ignoramus
          Well friend ! I know you have been visiting my house again and again.Do not worry I will lend you books so that you can prepare for your exam properly.
          Does it mean ignoramus visited my house again and again because of "Confusion".Try to locate the reason for visiting ,from this sentence.

            it would be much better for all of us if you explained the points you are trying to make rather than cross-examining us. can you please explain what your point is.

            thank you.

                  so far you have said very little, other than ask questions.

                  you could explain your understanding, or raise pertinent objections.

                    This is not a question of my understanding.Quranic sentence is crystal clear to explain its meaning.Look at the Verse again and again ,no ambiguity at all .

                      Raj-ah

                      Why was the prophet turning his face about the sky if he already had a "qibla" which was towards Jerusalem? The expression (turning your face about the sky) describes some one who is confused, not one who got his "God-assigned qibla".

                      Maybe the Arabs knew where Mecca was easier than where Jerusalem was. But anyways where do you know what the first Qibla was if Jerusalem is never mentioned?

                        Whether it first qibla was in Jerusaleum or somewhere else ,it does not matter.Let us suppose it was any qibla "X" .Whatsoever it was it was ordered by Allah according to this verse.

                        2143
                        This verse clearly shows He was having 'some qibla by the order of Almight Allah' before it was changed.

                          what i am asking is that you share your understanding. if you think something is crystal clear, please explain it.

                          i do not object to anyone's point of view, but i think the debate degrades when it becomes personal; we are all here to learn, and nothing is achieved by interrogation or by attempting to prove any participant's lack of knowledge or intelligence.

                          please think about your style of argument. i encountered the exact same kind of debate on sunni fora, where it would take someone over 10 pages of questioning just to make one point, which could have been made plain by simply putting forward a constructive argument.

                          thank you.

                            i agree the verse clearly indicates a previous qibla, but is it clear that whether that previous qibla was ordained by God?

                                Can't you stop re-posting the same verse, and write you own ideas, just for a change? We can read it. If we do not find the answer within it in the first time, we won't find it the second time either.

                                  Just to show to ignoramus that God's command for first qibla is in the same Verse.

                                    Quite fairly said, If one doesnot want to see NO body can let him/her see, even the WORD OF GOD.

                                      Why do not they find the answer in Quranic verses even when these are
                                      -detailed
                                      -clear (rather crystal clear)
                                      -Explained
                                      Is this not very strange?

                                        Why do not they find my answer in Quranic verses even when these are
                                        -detailed
                                        -clear (rather crystal clear)
                                        -Explained
                                        Is this not very strange?

                                          Ask the author, 'his' fault right?

                                          In every single one of your posts Leo, you have an agenda. Might want to visit the concept of 'learning' and 'studying'

                                          Why do they not study the Quran carefully? If it were from other than GOD, they would have found in it numerous contradictions.

                                          Why do they not study the Quran carefully? Do they have locks on their minds?

                                          We place shields around their minds, to prevent them from understanding it, and deafness in their ears. And when you preach your Lord, using the Quran alone, they run away in aversion

                                          Does each one of them want to receive the scripture personally?]
