    Frankly speaking You are an idiot as well an emotionalist. Senseless talk. No discussion.

    Actually agreed with most if not all that he said.

    As for where I face during prayer, why the heck does it matter. It's not like you can ever even pinpoint the exact direction to Mecca's ka'ba. It will always be off.

    And it's no wonder I've always realized PROSTRATING TO A DAMN CUBE borders on idol worship. Imo it's even worse that prostrating to a quran.

      We, true Muslims, do not believe in directions; Jews and Christians sanctify directions. While we are inside the Masjid alharam we stand in the circle for the congregational prayer so that each one confronts, is face to face to Ka'aba. Thus all 360 directions are covered. And when you are away, then it is said confront/be face to face Masjidal haram, since there people say congregational prayers in a straight row because of which every one will not be face to face to Ka'aba.

      Who are particular fools referred to in 2142??

        Interesting discussion!

        @Mazhar

        Mazhar, what do you mean by covering 360 directions? It is believed that there were 360 idols in and arround kaabah.

        We, true Muslims, do not believe in directions; Jews and Christians sanctify directions. While we are inside the Masjid alharam we stand in the circle for the congregational prayer so that each one confronts, is face to face to Ka'aba. Thus all 360 directions are covered. And when you are away, then it is said confront/be face to face Masjidal haram, since there people say congregational prayers in a straight row because of which every one will not be face to face to Ka'aba.

          Degrees in a circle are 360. Angles can still be many more perhaps. That is what I meant that by standing in a circle around Ka'abba gives 360 direction and not merely East or West.

            Alif; consonants of Arabic alphabet ( &#8206, Laa'm and Mee'm. Initial letter Alif has no speech sound and is not conjoined with the succeeding consonants of the word, while Laam and Meem are conjoined, and both have above them ancillary glyph/prolongation sign/mark which extends/stretches the sound value of the letter to which it is added. It reflects that the Book in hand is in the language that has letters and other marks, representing that its writing system is letter-diacritic combination based, resulting in the combination of sounds that form a syllable, rather than a single sound.

            The prolongation mark reflects that the following letter is still with which it is joined resulting in pause as consonant ends with still resulting in natural pause in its pronunciation "Laa'm". And so has the consonant the prolongation sign suggesting that it is to be pronounced with stretched sound to make last still letter vivid in sound ending in natural pause "Mee'm- ". Prolongation sign will also appear when the following consonant is "Hamza, " which can distinctly and audibly be pronounced only if the preceding letter is pronounced elongate. It may be noted that the prolongation sign is not the equivalent nor it represents hamza followed by alif.

              Salam Mazhar, all
              i read all this discussion from the begining and i can tell you this

              1 - You didn't answer any of the logical questions Ayman and others have raised in this topic. But instead, you ended insulting people and calling names like "idiot" and "mentally under aged".
              2 - You did not give a single proof (archeological or historical ) of mecca being known as a famous city before 8th century. the burden of proof is upon you.
              3 - Quoting from your colorful website didn't help in any way the purpose of this discussion.
              4 - Do you really believe that a muslim should circumvulate around a stone cube and kiss a black piece of meteorite ?? if so, you'll have a lot of trouble with your (sunni/shiaa) religion.

              Salam all

                Peace Mazhar,

                You don't even understand a single word from the above. Any idiot can mindlessly copy and paste verses. If you undertand anything them please translate the above passages and I will show you where the location is. There is no point in giving the location if you don't even understand the basics.

                Good so like you translated this passage, translate the above. In your translation you say "make this valley/locality a place of peace". Is Mecca a place of peace? How many people get trampled to death every year while they get pushed and shoved by people trying to kiss a Black Stone or stone three oblisks? Hundreds of people died in an armed rebellion in Mecca back in the seventies. In the eightees thousands of Iranian pilgrims were trapped and killed by security forces. Etc. Etc. Doesn't sound like a safe place.

                Also, you say whoever enters it is safe. Did you or anyone you know ever entered it? Please don't lie.

                Peace,

                Ayman

                I thought I was in duscussion with a literary person.

                And when We appointed/declared/made "The House" the place of pilgrimage/return/assembly for people

                and a place of safety/shelter/amnesty;

                and for them to adopt the standing place of Iebra'heim as a standing/assembly place of sa'laat;

                and We enjoined/imposed a pledge/duty upon Iebra'heim and Iesma'eile

                that they should maintain/manage the cleanliness/sanctity of My House for those people who circle around it, and stay around it, and for the purpose of bowing and prostration of people.

                Allah has appointed/declared the Sanctified House Al-Ka'abata enduringly a place of assembly/stay/congregation for the people.

                If you find time you may find that it is not mindlessly copy and paste by an idiot, please see the translation by me here
                http//www.haqeeqat.org.pk/English%20Tafsir%20e%20Haqeeqat/00.Arabic%20Text/002.01.A.htm

                I would be happy if you point out mistakes or anyhypothetical assertions therein. Now can you tell me which one is "My House" and in which city it is located?

                  Peace,

                  1 - It is YOU who understand/translate " " as meaning House !!
                  Try to be honest with yourself don't you see that "bayt/ " means something else than a physical house ??
                  we you read all the occurences of this word in the quran, not a single time do you find that it doesn't mean a physical house ?
                  2 - if you understand that the stone cube in Mecca is the house of God (read it again at loud to see how it's ringing in your ear) then, why should one circle it from outside ?? why aren't we invited INside ?? if you invited me at your house, should i have dinner outside ??
                  And the most important.... Why the hell should GOD have a house ???????? does He hate Hotels ?? rotfl

                  think of it again and again, it's not very hard to wash yourself from the sunni/shiaa/pagan dirt ...

                      I cannot give an answer that you'll like because you are asking the wrong questions .

                      You want to know where is the "house of god" and in which city !!??

                      Okay here's my answer again

                      "house of god" is not a location, it's an institution, a principle,... it's monotheisme

                        "house of god" it's monotheisme- but then it is restrictively located in a particular locality, which is that town?

                              can you bring proofs that all the prophets after Abraham ever did this pilgrimage ??

                                Where/which place would they come? Can you point out at which place was he where people were to come to him?

                                I say it was obviously the place where people are required to go for Hajj of the Bait, and that is Ka'aba. If you do not agree then you answer the question above.

                                  as i expected, no real answer !
                                  here are the questions again , pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase answer

                                  1- From where did you get the translation that "hajj" means ''pilgrimage to kaaba'' ??
                                  (i mean is there any word for it in previous religions, since this "hajj" thing started from the era of Abraham ?)

                                  2 - can you bring proofs that all the prophets after Abraham ever did this pilgrimage ??
                                  ( i mean archelogical, historical, etc...proofs that Abraham and all the prophets after Him, as well as the "people" who he called on, really came to "your" Mecca and did pigrimage to ''your'' Kaaba Before islamic era ? )

                                  If you don't know the answer, be brave and tell everybody and yourself that you're following nothing but conjectures .

                                  Moreover, these "conjectures" seems to be more related to paganism than to real "monotheism" . you cannot ignore that !

                                    Indeed/undoubtedly the FIRST House which was appointed/ built/placed on the Earth for the mankind is undoubtedly that one which is at Becca/Mecca; its peculiarity/prominent characteristic is its permanence/stability and is apparent/raised above the ground emblem of guidance for the mankind.

                                    http//haqeeqat.org.pk/English%20Tafsir%20e%20Haqeeqat/00.Arabic%20Text/003.%20Aale%20Imran/03.92-8.gif
                                    In its peculiar distinct features is the place of Iebra'heim and whoever entered therein he gets secure/amnesty.

                                    http//haqeeqat.org.pk/English%20Tafsir%20e%20Haqeeqat/00.Arabic%20Text/003.%20Aale%20Imran/03.92-9.gif
                                    And it is obligation from Allah for the one who has the capacity and wherewithal for travel he should decide to visit/perform Huj of The House.
                                    http//haqeeqat.org.pk/English%20Tafsir%20e%20Haqeeqat/00.Arabic%20Text/003.%20Aale%20Imran/03.92-11.gif
                                    And whoever refused the discharge of this obligation,
                                    http//haqeeqat.org.pk/English%20Tafsir%20e%20Haqeeqat/00.Arabic%20Text/003.%20Aale%20Imran/03.92-10.gif
                                    then indeed Allah is the Absolutely Independent, free from any need from the known and existing worlds/all that exists.

                                      Perhaps the great reading is somewhat older than what everyone thinks.

                                        I have to say that's a very interesting question. What do you think the word "hajj" denotes?
