We do not pray to a black stone. We pray to Allah only. But we have a center of prayer. It is a miracle. The prophet Muhammad started his preaching and prayers with a center for prayer. How wise of him. It is not less than a miracle.
Did he know that his teachings will spread into other cities and countries? And that they will need a center of prayer to face to? That people will make mosques all over the world and they will need a direction. That people praying individually in a house, if there is no center of prayer, they will in the same room face to different directions and it will create confusion and a joke.
The christians also face a direction inside the church.They face their pictures and idols in the church. Why do they not face their bck to those images during the prayer. It is not sensible to do that. Similarly, we Muslims have a direction that we face all over the world.
It proves the truth of Islam that Islam was to spread in all parts of the world and it did. I hope youwill understand the wisdom behind these things. Also you could learn some lesson from your leaders, predecessors, the Jews, who had a sense of direction nd had the will to build a house of God.
oh, planten, planten, planten. hmm, its interesting that you dont overly respond to me. maybe its because im female and im talking against your religion. id be stoned to death if i were muslim, and we all know that wont happen, so bring on the stones!
speaking of stones…oh, right, a big black stone is a miracle?! hate to tell you, but there are rocks EVERYWHERE. i have a huge one in my back yard. really, its massive. maybe if i started preaching on it some crazy persons wife will be telling me im a prophet. then ill start believing what she said cos really, i need to take some meds to balance out my paranoid schizophrenia but im scared to take them because maybe someone switched them with poison, so i never took them. then ill get all militant with all the people who are stupid enough to listen to my crazy ramblings and we all go psycho and bust some caps in people i dont likes butts and find it justified…oh, wait. thats what muhammed did. and hes a guy. i forgot. :doh2: so for him, its ok.
and then people decide that mcCrazy, must be right because otherwise they and their families will be killed, and their children will be raped or given to a pedophiliac in “marriage”, so its better just to submit off the bat. hence, the spread of crazyism and its brainwashing throughout the world. unfortunately, there were no good shrinks back in the day of muhammed. im sure he would have been institutionalized otherwise.
yes, we face forward in Church, towards the Tabernacle and Altar where Christ IS. the only way we could possibly face a picture or statue of a Saint in Church is if it was placed in the front. however, we never worship the statues, our eyes and hearts are on Christ who is truly Present to us in the Most Holy Eucharist. Churches have statues and pictures facing towards where the people are so that the backs of the statues are to whatever wall they are on…makes sense to me. why would you hang a picture with the front of it to the wall? the difference between muslims and Christians is that we dont feel we need a navigational bering and pull to a HUGE black rock thats thousands of miles away. and we get a cool nametag if we’ve gone there and kissed it. we dont bow in the direction of the tomb where Christ was buried. there was a huge stone in front of that. our navigational bering and pull is to Christ alone in the Holy Sacrament of the Altar that lives in the Tabernacle
waiting for us to come and visit. Christ wanted to be among men so He left us Himself in the Holy Eucharist until He comes again. He didn’t want to abandon His people. **
…the Jews got lost in the desert for
40 years because they didnt listen to God so He kept them there wandering around because they chose to be deaf…i dont think you want to get directions from them…
