And the Muslims were the first who drew
the world map.
Al-Idrussi in 1154 he drew the world
map and the north pole was down and
the south pole was on top and the
Kaaba was in the center.
Later on the western cartographers came and they
turned the map upside down.
North pole top, south pole down.
Yet the Kaaba, Alhamdulillah, it is in the
center.
And as I said earlier, Kaaba, it is
only our Qibla that's the direction.
And the statement of Umar that is mentioned
in Sahih Bukhari.
Hadith number 1597 in the book of Hajj.
Umar r.a, he said, while pointing and
looking at the black stone and he said,
اِنِّي أَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ حَجَرٌ لَا تَنْفَعُ وَلَا تَضُرُ
لَوْ لَأَنِّي رَأَيْتُ الرَّسُولُ صَلَى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَامُ
يُقَبِّلُكُ مَا قَبَّلْتُ Umar r.a, he rightly
says, while pointing at the black stone, that
I know that you are a black stone
and can neither benefit me nor harm me.
Had I not seen the Prophet, peace be
upon him, kiss you or touch you, I
would have not done so.
From this we understand, it is sufficient to
prove that we Muslims, we do not worship
the Kaaba.
