Muslims have to pray towards Mecca. That would be the most direct way to Mecca.
On the exact other side of Mecca, there is a town, I forgot which one though. Anyways, Muslims there may face any direction. Any other place, its across the surface in the most direct line. Astronauts pray in the direction of Earth.
I need to make a 5 paragraph essay about this. someone please help me. Also, how should i start my 1st par. what is the best word to use to start of?
Lucy is very different from Mina, in the way that she is very sexual and open. She is outspoken and wants a lot from life. Mina is more simple and just wants to be happily married, no matter the social or monetary outcomes. She is also shy and doesn’t talk about anything sexual. They are complete opposites. They’re the gender stereotypes. The good girl and the bad girl.
Is it true that when the moon does Tawaf around kabah (which is today right?) that what ever you pray for will come true?
Some one told me and I’m sceptical
really? GREAT! just pray nywyz datz wat ima do!
I am estranged from my father, I have no brothers and I am not married. In this situation how am I able to travel to and within Saudi Arabia, if I ever plan to go there? If I go there, it is very unlikely that my grandfather is able to come, because he is too old. I don’t have any uncles. What does Islam say about women in situations like this? I have 5 sisters. Thanks
In fact, Mahram is not important if you travel with a group . Mahram is a condition for woman if she wants to travel far of her hometown in a non safe place or country. The prophet even asks men to travel together not lonely. Some non-muslims understand Mahram condition Incorrectly or they want to.
Islam understands woman, doesn’t ask her to do a hard job, travailing far with out help. Islam want men to Pamper their women, not leaving them alone, or doing an offensive job as kissing men feet and clean them as chrestians believe!

Go sister to Hajj with Allah blessing 
I know it’s Haram to imitate females but the reason i want to get my ears pierced is not beacuse I want to imitate females. So really it can’t be haram can it?
Praise be to Allaah.
Earrings and bracelets are forms of adornment for women, and Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him) reported that “The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) cursed men who make themselves look like women and women who make themselves look like men.” (Reported by al-Bukhaari, 5435).
Abu Hurayrah said: “The Messenger of Allaah cursed men who wear women’s clothes and women who wear men’s clothes.” (Reported by Abu Dawood in al-Sunan, Kitaab al-Libaas, Baab fi libaas al-nisaa’). On this basis, it is not permitted for men to wear earrings or nose-rings.
The claim that this is permissible because the people of Quraysh used to do that needs to be proven, in the first place, and where is the proof?
Secondly, even if they used to do this in the Jaahiliyaah (Time of Ignorance before Islam), Islam came and forbade men to wear the adornment of women or to make themselves look like them, as is clear from the ahadeeth quoted above. What matters is the ruling of Islam, not what Quraysh or other tribes may have done.
Thirdly, the kinds of female adornment known among Quraysh and others includes earrings, bracelets, anklets and bangles worn on the upper arm. The point is that these are known as forms of women’s adornment since ancient times.
Fourthly, Islam has given men sufficient scope to adorn themselves by allowing them to wear silver rings, as Ibn ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him and his father) reported that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) wore a ring made of silver, and the people did likewise. (Reported by al-Bukhaari, 5417). Islam also allows men to wear gold and silver when necessary to replace a lost tooth or nose, and so on.
Finally, we would say that any Muslim man who wears jewellery is making himself look like the kuffaar, because this is known to be their style of adornment; the latest fashion among them is to wear earrings and the like in their ears, noses, lips, cheeks and other parts of the body (so-called “body-piercing”). The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever imitates a people is one of them.” (Reported by Abu Dawood, al-Sunan, Kitaab al-libaas, Bab libaas al-shuhrah).
Whoever does this should repent to Allaah and not engage in the futile defence of falsehood. He should be distinct in both his personality and his dress from the kuffaar, as Islam has commanded us to be. Allaah is the One Who guides to the Straight Path.
Islam Q&A
Sheikh Muhammed Salih Al-Munajjid
As it stands now, it is against the law for a non-Muslim to enter the cities of Mecca and Medina. Are there any Muslims out there who think this should be changed?
its too hot and i wouldnt want to go there
does this water cure people from their sickness ?
doctors has nothing to do with that
the spring from where Zamzam water is coming is being said that is the place from where ismail hit the ground and the water came out.
in the old chinese medicine is said that water and nothing else can clean the body of the any disease.
this is a water rich in some minerals and some researchers said it may contains high level of arsenic and may be poisonous at some extend.
my wonder is that they find that spring in the desert.and you know how is arabian desert.
Tematagi Island in French Polynesia is near the exact opposite side of the planet (antipodes) from Mecca. What direction would a Muslim face during prayers?
Logically, straight down is the shortest route, but horizontally either direction would be about the same.
If they were on a boat they could be at a spot where any horizontal direction would be the exact same distance.
They would face West/Northwest
At 3:25am the moon will do tawaf around the khana kaba. This is only comes around every "1 million"years.And at this time whatever wish /prayer you make will true.And this time light of moon will go blue. i don`t know if it`s right
It takes the Moon 27.322 days to go around the Earth once. Because of this motion, the Moon appears to move about 13° against the stars each day, or about one-half degree per hour.
So the moon does the Tawaf of kaba every month…. what is with this new thing ????
Huhhh PEOPLE….
Asalamualeikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuho
May Allah swt watch over you and guide you all. Ameen
Dear brothers and sisters,
Surah At Tin while being a short Surah hides within it an amizing amount of Wisdom for those who seek to learn and truly examine its meaning. It not only references Prophet Muhammad saaws by referencing where he was from in Mecca. But also includes Two of the Mightiest prophets that Came before him as well.
1. By the Fig and the Olive,
Here Allah swt swears by two symbolic items – the Fig and the Olive.
The strongest opinion is that this refers to Jesus or Prophet Isa pbuh.
In the Gospel of Matthe in the bible the Mount of Olives a site in Jerusalem is a place in which Isa pbuh is referenced to being one also finds the fig in the same chapter. “As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. ‘Tell us,’ they said, ‘when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age? . . . Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near.” (Matthew 24:3-32, Online NIV)
There is another passage in Matthew in which Isa pbuh curses a fig tree that bears no fruit (Matthew 21:18).
2. And the Mount of Sinai,
The reference here is much clearer than in the last ayah.
This is an allusion to prophet Musa pbuh.
It was on Mount Sinai that Prophet Musa pbuh received the Taurat from Allah swt, along with the 10 commandments. The five books of the Torah served as the basis for the first five books of what Jews and Christians call The Old Testament. The main message of the Old Testament tells people to worship one God and to avoid major sins like adultery and murder. These principles are the common heritage of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. As Prophet Musa pbuh lay many foundations for what was to come with prophet Isa pbuh and Prophet Muhammad saaws.
3. And this City of Security
Since this surah was revealed in Mecca, the City that Allah is referring to is Mecca. Prophet Muhammad saaws called Mecca home and it was also the city where Prophet Ibrahim pbuh and Ismail pbuh settled their families and built the Kaaba. Because Mecca was a center for Hajj and pilgramidge it was known as a safe haven for anyone who visited.
So just in the opening of At Tin Alone we find the remembrance of Prophet Jesus pbuh Musa pbuh and the confirmation of Prophet Muhammad saaws. The fact that Prophet Muhammad saaws appears last in this great line of prophets is absolutely important as it is showing the degree in which Prophet hood has passed down to the final prophet with the final message for mankind.
There is no doubt that the rest of At Tin contains an equally important message.
This beautiful Surah like the entire Quran is beneficial to us all. Much more so when we stop to examin its true and deepest meaning.
Hope this helps! Salaams The Details are not complete but I wanted to Highlight the Succession of Prophet hood as it is alluded to in At Tin. Inshallah khair I sall continue on with further details later. Jazakallah khair
