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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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….
