He bestows with His Guidance and Message to whom He desires. Every thing of each direction is in His Control and Knowledge. ![]() The East or the West, each direction is of Allah Almighty. The Holy Qur’an replied their objections, “O Messenger! Tell them that we have not changed the Qiblah due to jealously or bigotry, but it has been changed with the order of Allah Almighty. Some of them used to say that it has been done duty to jealousy and enmity of the children of Israel. What happened with them now that have left that Qiblah, they have made the Ka’-ba as their Qiblah. They criticized of various sorts that formerly they used to offer their prayers turning towards the first Qiblah (the Temple or city of Jerusalem) which was the Qiblah of the old times Prophets (peace be upon Them). When the children of Israel knew about change of Qiblah, they persecuted in opposition of it. At last He (may glory, grace, blessings and peace be upon Him) was commanded to change the Qiblah after migration to Madina passing sixteen or thirteen months. But He (may glory, grace, blessings and peace be upon Him) was waiting the order of the God Almighty. But He desired over and over to make His Qiblah to the Khana Ka’-ba which was constructed by the Prophet Abraham (peace be upon Him) in Makkah. After migration He continued that Qiblah. Till the time the Messenger of Allah Almighty (may glory, grace, blessings and peace be upon Him) remained in Makkah, He used to turn His face towards Jerusalem. The Qiblah of the children of Israel was the Temple or city of Jerusalem. Qiblah – The thing which is in front, that is to say, the direction and place turning towards which the prayers are offered and worship is done, namely Centre of Attention, side and direction to turn for worship. Here it is indicated towards the children of Israel. So aim of the As-Sufa-haaa-‘u minan-naas is the people who protest and criticize the Orders of the God Almighty. Yahdii many-yashaaa-‘u ‘ilaa Siraatim- Mustaqiim.Īs-Sufa-haaa-‘u minan-naas – (the foolish of the people) Sufa-haaa is plural of the word safiah that means childish, low, stupid, foolish. SA-YAQUULUS-SUFA-HAAA-‘U minan-naasi maa wallaahum ‘an- Qiblati-himul-latii kaanuu ‘alayhaa. He guideth whom He will unto a straight path. Verse –142 of 286, Section – 17 (Part – 2)Īnd the foolish of the people will say: What hath turned them from the qiblah which they formerly observed? Say: Unto Allah belong the East and the West. Assalaam o Alaikum wa RahmatUllah i wa Barakatuhuu. fa-‘uu-zu billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim. And, may glory, grace, blessings and peace of Allah Almighty be upon His chosen servants. Praise belongs to Allah Who is Sufficient for us. ![]()
