Importance of Qibla in Islam

Spiritual Significance

Facing the Kaaba during prayer symbolizes the unity of Muslims worldwide and their submission to Allah, creating a spiritual connection with the House of Allah.

Quranic Directive

The Quran instructs Muslims to turn their faces toward the Sacred Mosque in Mecca during prayer (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:144). This direction has been established since the time of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

Global Unity

Regardless of location, all Muslims face the same direction during prayer, fostering a sense of global community and reminding us of our shared faith and purpose.
