The eighth most common question or misconception that
is there in the minds of non-Muslims,
and this will be the last one which
we will be discussing during this talk, is
that if Islam is against idol worship, why
do you Muslims bow down and worship the
Kaaba?
Kaaba, it is only our Qibla that is
the direction.
We Muslims, we do not worship the Kaaba.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says in the
glorious Quran, in Surah Al-Baqarah, chapter number
2, verse number 144.
Then turn thy face towards the sacred mosque.
Kaaba, it is only our Qibla that is
the direction.
We Muslims, we do not worship the Kaaba.
Why do we face the Kaaba when we
are offering Salah?
It is for the sake of unity.
For example, if the Muslims want to offer
Salah, some might say let's face towards the
north, some might say let's face towards the
south, some might say let's face towards the
east, some might say let's face towards the
west.
So for the sake of unity, we Muslims,
we face the Kaaba.
Kaaba, it is only our Qibla that is
the direction.
