Do Muslims on the other side of the Earth from Mecca pray facing the ground?

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.

In the book Dracula by Bram Stoker what are Mina and Lucy’s difference?

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.

Ramadan: Is it true that…?

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!

If I want to travel to Saudi Arabia for Hajj or visit, how can I do this as a female who doesn’t have a Mahram?

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!
