This document discusses the concept of rituals and contact prayer (Namaz) in Islam based on evidence from the Quran. It argues that while the Quran does not explicitly mention praying 5 times a day, it is the complete and final source of guidance. The document analyzes verses stating the Quran contains full guidance for religious practice. It concludes that following any sources outside the Quran would mean not believing it is complete or that the religion of Islam is finished, and would make one a non-believer.

1. RITUALS AND CONTACT PRAYER NAMAZ
‫ء‬ْ‫ي‬َ‫ش‬ ‫ن‬‫ي‬‫م‬ ‫ي‬‫اب‬َ‫ت‬‫ي‬‫الك‬ ‫ي‬‫ِف‬ ‫ا‬َ‫ن‬ْ‫ط‬َّ‫ر‬َ‫ف‬ ‫ا‬َّ‫م‬(6:36)
[Quran 6:38] We did not leave anything out of this book
‫اليوم‬‫اكملت‬‫لكم‬‫دينكم‬‫امتمت‬‫و‬‫عليكم‬‫نعميت‬‫ورضيت‬‫لك‬‫م‬‫االسالم‬‫دينا‬(5:3)
Today, I have completed your religion, perfected My blessing upon you,
and have chosen for you Islam as your religion. [Quran5:3]
"And We made the Qur'an easy to learn. Do any of you wish to learn?" (54:17)
Since the Qur'an does not explicitly say anything about praying 5 times a
day, it may be considered less important from the Quranic prospective
and it could be a deviation from the prescribedway of life (Deen-e-Islam)
and from the guidance of Allah that was revealed in the Quran. The
Qur'an does not specificallystate the amount of prayers (Namaz) and its
units that people should pray but at the same time Allah Says that the
Quran is a complete guidance without any doubt i.e. it contains full and
complete directions/guidance forthe firm believers. (2:2)
َْ‫ي‬‫ي‬‫َّق‬‫ت‬ُ‫م‬ْ‫ل‬ِّ‫ي‬‫ل‬ ‫ى‬ً‫د‬ُ‫ه‬ ‫ي‬‫يه‬‫ي‬‫ف‬ َ‫ب‬ْ‫ي‬َ‫ر‬ َ‫ال‬ ُ‫اب‬َ‫ت‬‫ي‬‫ْك‬‫ل‬‫ا‬ َ‫ك‬‫ي‬‫ل‬َ‫ذ‬(2:2)
To make us understand Allah questioned us in the verse of the Quran
6:19, "Whose testimonyis the greatest?" and in the same verse of the
Quran Allah Himself replied, "Say, "God's”.This means that Allah does
not testify/recognise/prescribeany other books/sources/traditions/saying
/practices exceptwhat is written in His Book(The Quran).
Furthermore, in the verse 7:52 of the Quran Allah said, We have given
them a scripture that is fully detailed, with knowledge,guidance, and
mercy for the people who believe.
Verse 6:115 says,” The Word of your Lord is complete,in truth and
justice. Nothing shall abrogate His words. He is the Hearer, the
Omniscient”
Allah proclaims again and again that the Quran is complete,perfect,and
fully detailed. Verses 6:114-115 explain that the Quran is fully detailed

2. for the practice/regulations of religion (Deen) and complete in truth and
justice.
“Shall I seek other than God as a source of practice/regulations, when
He has revealed to you this book fully detailed? Those who received the
scripture recognise that it has been revealed from your Lord,truthfully.
You shall not harbor any doubt.( Quran 6:114)
Verse 6:114 clarifies what God means when He states that the Quran
details everything and is fully detailed. The verse clarifies that the Quran
is fully detailed for the practice of the religion. The fully detailed Quran
clarifies that religious duties/ practices were given to Prophet Ibrahim
(pbuh) and we are to followin his footsteps(generation to generation) to
practice Islam. It clarifies with other verses that messengers and
prophets including ProphetMuhammad (PBUH) carried out religious
practices given to Ibrahim (pbuh) (16:123).
Obeying and practicing outside sources and what is not revealed /
mentioned in the Quran from Allah means that we do not actually believe
that the Quran is complete (6:115),we do not believe that our religion
(Deen) is complete (5:3)and also we do not believe what Allah has said
in 6:36 and many other verses of the Quran;” We did not leave anything
out of the Quran”. Hence, if we practice and follow the sources other
than the Quran we becomenonbelievers because we are not following
Allah’s clear guidance that was revealed in the Quran.
"This is a blessed Book,which We have sent down – followit and be
conscious of your Lord,so that you may receive mercy – lest you say,
‘Books were sent to two communities before us: we were not aware of
what they studied’, or ‘if only the Book had been sent down to us, we
would have beenbetter guided than them.’ Now your Lord has brought
you clear evidence,guidance, and mercy. Who could be more wrong
than someone who rejects Allah’s Revelations and turns away from
them? We shall repay those who turn away from our verses with a
painful punishment." (Qur’an 6:155-157)
Allah knew that Ahadith are made up and fabricated this is the reason
why it is said about the Quran, “This is not fabricated Hadith; this
(Quran) confirms all previous scriptures,provides the details of
everything, and is a beacon and mercy for those who believe” (Quran
12:111)and the Quran is the only authorised source by Allah.

3. This Quran is not authorised by other than God. It confirms all previous
messages,and provides a fully detailed scripture. It is infallible, for it
comes from the Lord of the universe (10:37).
The conceptof worship in Islam is differentfrom other religions. Islam
urges us to obeyAllah’s commandments and regularly practice them for
the welfare of others instead of practicing useless rituals in the name of
prayer (Namaz) like other religions practice their worship in different
shapes and styles. Also the rituals like Namaz are not compulsoryto be
Muslims because all Prophets declared that they were Muslims but no
one ever prayed ritual Namaz like we do. ProphetIbrahim (pbuh)
declared himself a Muslim and the Quran duly urges us to follow the
religion (Deen/path) of Ibrahim.

When death approached Jacob,when he said to his sons, "Whom will
you worship after my death?" They said, "We will worship your God and
the God of your fathers, Abraham and Ishmaeland Isaac one God.And
we are Muslims (2:133)

Jacob:"O my children, Allah has pointed out the religion (Deen) for you;

‫ي‬‫م‬(2:136)
Say: "We believe in Allah, and the revelation given to us, and to
Abraham, Isma'il, Isaac, Jacob,and the Tribes,and that given to Moses

4. and Jesus, and that given to prophets from their Lord:We make no
differencebetweenone and another of them: And for this, we are
Muslims." (2:136)
In the light of the above verses of the Quran we are not the first Muslims
in the world but all prophets and their true followers were also Muslims.
If Namaz was compulsoryto becomeMuslim then it should have been
mentioned in the books revealed to these Prophets and it should have
been in practice of their nations and followers.In fact like the Quran
Namaz is not mentioned in any of the earlier scriptures,which means
that this ritual prayer is not from Allah and just made up by Persian
Imams who wrote the books of fabricated Ahadith and spread them
among the Muslims due to a conspiracyagainst Islam. It does not make
sense that the Quran was revealed in classicalArabic language but
bukhari, muslim, tabari, ibn daoud, tirmidhi and so on are Persians, who
added their rituals in the Islam and the words of Allah!
In the year 773 AD, Al-Khayzuran bint Atta ‫عطاء‬ ‫بنت‬ ‫الخيزران‬ the
zoroastrian mother of both Abbasids Caliphs Al-Hadi, and Harun al-
Rashid ‫الرشيد‬ ‫هارون‬ blended 5 Zoroastrian Namaz rituals in Islam and
validated that forgery by forging hadith of Mi'raaj and the 50 rituals/per
day absurdity! The Persian Imams of the time got strong support from
Khaizraan who was, in turn, vehemently helped by Harun's Zoroastrian
viziers, the BARAMIKA.So, she's the one who "canonised" NAMAZ in
153 A.H. (773 CE). Her main agent was Imam Al-Khalil ibn Ahmad
Tabrezi, the first ever writer of Arabic to Persian dictionary, AL-'AINand
he translated the Quran as well and spread it to misguide the Muslim.
Since then everyone copied his misleading translation and published
with their names. Nobody ever bothered to look at the actual text of the
Quran and compare it with the conventional translations.
The following daily five contact prayers have beentaken from
Zoroastrianism and incorporated into Islam and they even kept the same
timings for all five daily Namaz!
1- Dawn prayer: Havaan = Fajr
2- Noon prayer: Rapithwan = Dhuhr
3- Afternoonprayer: Uziren = A'ssr
4- Evening prayer: Aiwisuthrem = Maghrib

5. 5- Night prayer: Ushaen = Ishae
KHAIZRAANspent a fortune on her projectand distributed one million
gold coins and 165 million coins of pure silver among her subjects to
propagate the 'canonised' NAMAZ.
No doubt the Westernresearchers and historians did a good job and told
us the true history which we do not believe because we think that they
are KAFIRS and anti Islam. So I am giving you some of the relevant
referencesabout "Khaizran", the "Baramikah", the "Imams" and the
contriving of today's NAMAZ from the following books.

Abu Qasim Baghdadi. Vol 1 pg 31-55

Namaz doesn'tfit the overall message of the Qur'an because Deenof
Allah is in the words of Allah and nowhere else. Islam is an old practice
of all Prophets which has been transmitted to us by our Prophet(PBUH)
and in the Quran, Allah does not ask for pointless things such as
prostrating towards a cubic stone in a desert5 times a day. Many people
have written about five times Zoroastrian’s Namaz but if you do some
research on the Arab pagans you will find that Arab Pagans also used to
pray and prostrate to idols 5 times a day in the Kaaba and at home
facing towards Kaaba, and prophet Muhammad (PBUH) has stopped
this pagan pray. There is also a true historical fact that up until after 100
or more years of the death of Holy Prophet(PBUH) no one prayed
facing towards Kaaba. However, when Zoroastrian canonised Namaz
the Arabs, who used to pray and prostrate to idols 5 times a day before
Islam came about, accepted the practice of Zoroastrian 5 time Namaz
because pagans and hypocrites (Munafiq) were still around and wanted
to keep Islam as well as their pagan rituals. The Arab pagans were well
known for worshiping the “stones”and they used to pray and prostrate to
the cubic shaped stone called “Al-Lat” togetherwith the moon god and
other idols.

6. Ritual worship at the Kaaba and the kissing of the Black Stone are just
the first of many practices adopted after Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and
repackaged within monotheistic Islam.
The pagan gods of pre-Islamic Arabia were worshiped in the form of
rectangular stones or rocks. For example, the pagan deity 'Al-Lat',
mentioned in Qur'an 53:19,and believed by pre-Islamic pagans to be
one of the daughters of Allah, was once venerated as a cubic rock at
Ta'if in Saudi Arabia. An edifice was built over the rock to mark it apart
as a house of worship.
Al-latstood in al-Ta'if,and was more recentthan Manah.She was a
cubic rock besidewhicha certain Jew used to prepare his barley
porridge (sawiq).Her custodywas in the hands of the banu-'Attabibn-
Malik of the Thayif,who had builtan edificeoverher.She is the idol
which God mentioned when He said,"Have you seen Al-latand al-'Uzza
(Surah 53:19).(KitabAl-Asnam (The Book of Idols),p 14)
"A principalsacredobjectin Arabian religion was the stone,eithera rock
outcropping or a large boulder,often a rectangularor irregularblack
basaltic stone… of numerousbaetyls,the bestknown is the Black-stone
of the Ka’aba at Mecca whichbecame the central shrineobjectin Islam".
(Encyclopedia Britannica- ArabianReligions,p1059,1979)
There is no denying that the Black Stone was one among many stones
and idols venerated at the Kaaba by the pre-Islamic pagans. The Black
Stone was kissed during pre-Islamic pagan worship. This is the same
stone (Hijr-e-Aswad) that Muslims kiss today when visiting Mecca.
Praying 5 Times Towards Mecca
Pagans priorto Islam would prayfive timesperday towards Mecca.
["Scholarly Pursuits:Joseph Lumbard,classicalIslam professor".
Brandeis.December11, 2007]
Zoroastrians are also expected to recite their(kusti)prayers at leastfive
times a day having firstcleansedthemselves by washing(ablution).So
even today,this is not a practice uniqueto Islam.
[Donald E Gowan,The Westminstertheological wordbook of the Bible,
WestminsterJohn KnoxPress,2003,p.168]

Oxford UniversityPress,1997,pp. 763-764]
But, contrary to the Muslims,they pray in the directionof the Sun (at
each time of the day) and/orof the Holy Fire (if they are in a Fire
Temple).[Jack G ShaheenArab and Muslim Stereotyping inAmerican
PopularCulture (1997)page=9]
[Joseph H.Peterson- GAHS (prayers for each periodof the day) -
Avesta Zoroastrian Archives,accessed May 27, 2011]
The Quran also mentions “Al-Lat” in the verse 53:19.If you read about
“Al-Lat” you will find that it is a black cuboid shape female statue. If you
look at the photograph of the Kaaba it is cuboid shaped having a black
stone in the corner in the shape of the female private organ and this
cuboid is covered with black covering, which relates to the planet Saturn
)‫.(زحل‬Therefore,in reality Kaaba is itself an idol of “Al-Lat”.The statue of
the moon god is also installed in the compound of Al-Masjid Al-Haraam,
which is enclosed inthe golden cage and presently known as “ Maqam-
e-Ibrahim”. This is Also,known as the idol Hubal, which is still there
together with many other stone gods.
So, now, just think about it, if we pray Namaz facing towards Kaaba
what are we actually doing when Kaaba itself is a black statue of the
female goddess“Al-Lat” and many more statues are still installed there?
Aren’t we worshiping the idols in the name of Namaz? Thus, Namaz is a
ritual of paganism and it is SHIRK that we commit5 times a day.
The wrong interpretation of the Quran incorporated pagan rituals in
Islam. Please see the following verse 5:2 of the Quran in which Allah
clearly forbade us from performing rituals and animal sacrifice in Bait Al-
Haram (Kaaba) but in the translation of the same verse 5:2 our scholars
allowed all rituals and animal sacrifice.

ْ‫ا‬‫و‬ُّ‫ل‬‫ي‬ُ‫ُت‬ means “Have” ,”permit”,“ allow”. َ‫ال‬ means “No”, Do not”, ْ‫ا‬‫و‬ُّ‫ل‬‫ي‬ُ‫ُت‬ َ‫ال‬ =Do not
have

8. َ‫ر‬‫ي‬‫آئ‬َ‫ع‬َ‫ش‬ means “ state of the art”, “build” , “ creation”, “structure”, “rites”,
“rituals”, The actual proto root meaning of َ‫ام‬َ‫ر‬َْ‫ْل‬‫ا‬ is the forbidden,the
unlawful, the taboo, the illegal, the offence or the wicked. َ‫ام‬َ‫ر‬َْ‫ْل‬‫ا‬ cannot be
used as “sacred” as the opposite of َ‫ام‬َ‫ر‬َ‫ح‬ is ‫الل‬َ‫.ح‬ So, throughout the Quran
َ‫ام‬َ‫ر‬َ‫ح‬ with or without the definite article ( ْ‫)ال‬ gives the meaning of its proto
root َ‫م‬ ‫ر‬ َ‫ح‬ that is “forbidden,unlawful, illegal and protected.This proto root
‫حرم‬ does not give meaning of “sacred,grand or respectable” as wrongly
taken by our scholars. In Saudi Arabia the word ‫حرمہ‬ is frequently used
for someone’swife. I have lived in Arab societyand observed them very
closely.When they meet each other first they ask for themselves ‫الحال‬ ‫کيف‬
then they ask for their wife and children and say ‫بذورہ‬ ‫و‬ ‫حرمہ‬ ‫کيف‬ ‫.۔‬ So
‫حرمہ‬ is used for one who is protected and forbiddenforothers. Likewise
‫محرم‬ is used for those who are protected and forbiddenand ‫محروم‬ is used
who was made forbiddenfrom something i.e. deprived of. The Arabic
word ‫حرمت‬ is used for unlawful and forbiddenbut the same word ‫حرمت‬ in
Persian is used for “respect,sacred and grand”. Unfortunately, instead
of taking Arabic meaning of the Quranic word ‫حرمت‬ we took its Persian
meaning in the translation of the Quran. Please see the right next verse
5:3of the above verse 5:2 in which the word ‫حرمت‬ is used as forbidden
and unlawful.)5:3( ‫ير‬‫ي‬‫ز‬ْ‫ن‬‫ي‬ْ‫اْل‬ ُ‫م‬َْ‫ْل‬َ‫و‬ُ‫م‬َّ‫ْد‬‫ل‬‫ا‬َ‫و‬ُ‫ة‬َ‫ت‬ْ‫ي‬َ‫ْم‬‫ل‬‫ا‬ ُ‫م‬ُ‫ك‬ْ‫ي‬َ‫ل‬َِ ْ‫ت‬َ‫م‬ِّ‫ي‬‫ر‬ُ‫ح‬

True translation of the above verse 5:2: “O believers do not have rituals
for Allah, do not have forbiddenmonth and do not offer/sacrifice and do
not have sacrificial reservation necklaces and do not be a
keeper/caretakerof the forbiddenhouse.
In the above verse 5:2, Allah (SWT) actually forbade us from all
traditional rituals including sacrificing animals and caretaking for the

9. unlawful house, which is Kaaba the house of idols. Allah says further
against the sacrifice:
‫ا‬َ‫ه‬ُ‫ؤ‬‫ا‬َ‫م‬‫ي‬‫د‬ َ‫ال‬َ‫و‬ ‫ا‬َ‫ه‬ُ‫وم‬ُُ‫ْل‬ََّ‫اّلل‬ َ‫ال‬َ‫ن‬َ‫ي‬ ‫َن‬‫ل‬(22:37)
“It is not their meat nor their blood,that reaches Allah”(22: 37).
َ‫ف‬َّ‫و‬َّ‫ط‬َ‫ي‬ ‫ن‬َ‫أ‬ ‫ي‬‫ه‬ْ‫ي‬َ‫ل‬َِ َ‫اح‬َ‫ن‬ُ‫ج‬ َ‫ال‬َ‫ف‬ َ‫ر‬َ‫م‬َ‫ت‬ِْ‫ا‬ ‫ي‬‫و‬َ‫أ‬ َ‫ت‬ْ‫ي‬َ‫ْب‬‫ل‬‫ا‬ َّ‫ج‬َ‫ح‬ ْ‫ن‬َ‫م‬َ‫ف‬ ‫ي‬ِّ‫اّلل‬ ‫ي‬‫ر‬‫ي‬‫آئ‬َ‫ع‬َ‫ش‬ ‫ن‬‫ي‬‫م‬ َ‫ة‬َ‫و‬ْ‫ر‬َ‫ْم‬‫ل‬‫ا‬َ‫و‬‫ا‬َ‫ف‬َّ‫الص‬ َّ‫ن‬‫ي‬‫إ‬‫يي‬‫ِب‬‫ا‬َ‫م‬(2:158)
Furthermore, in the above verse 2:158 Allah has said, “No doubt the
Safa and the Marwa are just Allah’s state of the art/ Allah’s creation,
whosever pilgrimage or visit the house must not incline/claim/stand in
towards running around them.
However, in the current translations our scholars have distorted the
meaning of the phrase َ‫اح‬َ‫ن‬ُ‫ج‬ َ‫ال‬َ‫ف‬ of the above verse 2:158 and translated as
“there is no sin on them who circulate betweenSafa and Marwa”.
Actually throughout the Quran the meaning of this phrase َ‫اح‬َ‫ن‬ُ‫ج‬ َ‫ال‬َ‫ف‬ have
been taken wrongly. The letter “ َ‫“ف‬ in the beginning of any word puts
emphasis on the stated action at the highest level. So, “ َ‫ال‬َ‫ف‬“ means
“must not”. “ َ‫اح‬َ‫ن‬ُ‫ج‬ “ is derived from the root of َ‫ح‬ َ‫ن‬ُ‫ج‬ So, the actual
meaning of the root word َ‫ح‬َ‫ن‬ُ‫ج‬ are “to incline”, “ to claim”, “ to deputise”,
“to stand in” and in legal terms it means “to make substitute of
someone/something”. َ‫ف‬َّ‫و‬َّ‫ط‬َ‫ي‬ is a present tense of َ‫ف‬َّ‫و‬َّ‫ط‬ which means
moving or running. Likewise, the cruise control of the vehicle is also
known as َ‫ف‬َّ‫و‬َّ‫ط‬ which also shows the meaning of َ‫ف‬َّ‫و‬َّ‫ط‬ as the movement,
running and traffic. A delegationof people or group of visitors are also
called ‫َہ‬‫,طائف‬ therefore the Quranic word َ‫ف‬َّ‫و‬َّ‫ط‬ gives a meaning of
‘movement or to move’ and not ‘to circulate’.
Now, you can see the accurate translation of this verse:
َ‫ف‬َّ‫و‬َّ‫ط‬َ‫ي‬ ‫ن‬َ‫أ‬ ‫ي‬‫ه‬ْ‫ي‬َ‫ل‬َِ َ‫اح‬َ‫ن‬ُ‫ج‬ َ‫ال‬َ‫ف‬ َ‫ر‬َ‫م‬َ‫ت‬ِْ‫ا‬ ‫ي‬‫و‬َ‫أ‬ َ‫ت‬ْ‫ي‬َ‫ْب‬‫ل‬‫ا‬ َّ‫ج‬َ‫ح‬ ْ‫ن‬َ‫م‬َ‫ف‬ ‫ي‬ِّ‫اّلل‬ ‫ي‬‫ر‬‫ي‬‫آئ‬َ‫ع‬َ‫ش‬ ‫ن‬‫ي‬‫م‬ َ‫ة‬َ‫و‬ْ‫ر‬َ‫ْم‬‫ل‬‫ا‬َ‫و‬‫ا‬َ‫ف‬َّ‫الص‬ َّ‫ن‬‫ي‬‫إ‬‫يي‬‫ِب‬‫ا‬َ‫م‬(2:158)
“ In fact the Safa and the Marwah are just Allah’s creation (state of the
art), whosever pilgrimage or visit the house must not incline/stand in/
make rituals upon running around them”. (2:158 true translation)

10. Doing Tawaf between Safa and Marwa was originally a pagan pre-
Islamic practice. Circumambulation is to go in circles around a particular
object.In the present Islam, worshippers and pilgrims do this around the
Kaaba at Mecca. Pre-Islamic pagans used do it to please the moon god
Hubal, the 360 deities.If this ritual came from Prophet Ibrahim (pbuh)
then why this ritual is not seenin Judaism and Christianity (the religions
of those who are considered People of the Book). They do not practice
ritual of circumambulation to please God. However, the ritual of 7
circumambulation is seen in Hinduism exactly like we do and we also
recite the religious phrases during the circumambulation like Hindus.
Ihram was originally a pagan requirement for worshipping idols during
pre-Islamic times, which was also adopted from Hinduism.
Therefore,the Arab pagans were actually the Hindus who used to
circulate 7 times around their idols wearing unstitched piece of white
cloth, in the end of their idol worship they used to cut their hair and
sacrifice animals (Bali‫.)بلی‬ Hindus still perform the same rituals in their
Terath Yatra and complete 7 circles around their idol god “Shiv”. They
drink Ganga Jal like we drink Zam Zam. Hindus also claim that the
Kaaba was the temple of their lord “Shiv”.
CrescentMoon Symbol came from moongod of Arab pagans
Hubal was the moongod worshipedat the Kaaba.The crescentmoon
was Hubal’s symbol.Muhammad's(pnuh)pagangrandfatherAbd al-
Muttalib almostslaughtered Muhammad's(pbuh)fatherAbdallahat the
Ka’aba,to Hubal.From Ibn Hisham:
An arrow showedthat it was 'Abdullahto be sacrificed.'Abdul-Muttalib
then took the boy to Al-Ka'bah with a razor to slaughterthe boy. Quraish,
his unclesfrom Makhzum tribe and his brotherAbu Talib,however,tried
to dissuade him.They suggestedthat he summona she-diviner.She
ordered that the divinationarrows should be drawn with respectto
'Abdullahas well as ten camels.… the numberof the camels(finally)
amountedto one hundred.… They were all slaughteredto the
satisfaction ofHubal.[Ibn Hisham 1/151-155;Rahmat-ul-lil'alameen
2/89,90]
The Ka’aba,Islam's holiestshrine,has been a placewhere such pagan
humansacrificesand slaughters have taken placefor Hubal.When
Muhammad (pbuh)founded Islam,he discarded Hubal.At the Battle of
Badr, his enemyAbu Sufyan praisedthe high position ofmoongod

11. Hubal,saying"O Hubal,be high".Muhammad (pbuh)askedhis
followers to yell back,"Allah is higher".
Is moon-god Hubal no longer "higher"? Is Islam completelyfree of the
'moon' influence? Take a closerlook at mosques all over the world, and
you are likely to find Hubal’s symbol,the crescentmoon, positioned at a
high point of the mosque.As with the Cross for Christianity and the Star
of David for Judaism, the Crescentmoon is today a universal symbolfor
Islam. Is it not paganism and SHIRK praying Namaz in the mosques
where the symbol of moon god is installed on the top of the dome or
minaret?
It may not be a deliberate effortto worship Hubal. And yet, interestingly,
through Namaz (the pagan prayer) under the symbolof moon god ‘the
Crescentmoon’ we follow Prophet Muhammad's (pbuh) enemy Abu
Sufyan at Badr, who used to pray for Hubal, "O Hubal be high".
This is the reason why the Quran has clearly mentioned Kaaba as a
place of unlawful prostration i.e. Al-Masjid Al-Haram and always
differentiates betweenAllah’s House and the house of unlawful
prostration, which was and still is filled with polytheistic statues.
Would you like to make your home in the red light area? Obviously not.
Then how can we say that Allah had nowhere to make His house except
for a place where idols were worshiped five times a day? .For sure Allah
did not make His House in Makkah ! The following verse of the Quran
3:96 tells us that the very first house of Allah was made in Bakkah.
The Ka’aba has nothing to do with ProphetIbrahim or Ismael. It has a
wholly pagan heritage. Egyptian Professorand foremostauthority on
Arabic literature, Dr. Taha Husayn, said the following:
The case for this episode is very obvious becauseit is of recentdate
and came into vogue justbefore the rise of Islam.Islam exploited itfor
religious reasons.[As quoted in Mizan al-Islam by Anwar al-Jundi,p.
170]
We traditionally believe that the Kaaba was the original sanctuary of
Prophet Ibrahim (pbuh) and was built at Makkah (Mecca). The Quran
declares however, that the first house of worship that Prophet Ibrahim
(pbuh) built with his son Ishmael (pbuh) was that at a place called
'Bakkah' (Baca).

12. ‫ى‬ً‫د‬ُ‫ه‬َ‫و‬ ‫ا‬ً‫ك‬َ‫ار‬َ‫ب‬ُ‫م‬ َ‫ة‬َّ‫ك‬َ‫ب‬‫ي‬‫ب‬ ‫ي‬‫ي‬‫ذ‬َّ‫َل‬‫ل‬ ‫ي‬‫َّاس‬‫لن‬‫ي‬‫ل‬ َ‫ع‬‫ي‬‫ض‬ُ‫و‬ ‫ت‬ْ‫ي‬َ‫ب‬ َ‫ل‬َّ‫و‬َ‫أ‬ َّ‫ن‬‫ي‬‫إ‬(3:96)
“The first House ever to be built for people was that at Bakkah (Baca)
blessed and a guidance for the worlds.” (3:96)
It is asserted by the majority of Muslims that both Bakkah and Makkah
are a reference to the same place. This argument is difficultto acceptas
there is no proof that this is the case from a Quranic scrutiny. The Quran
is fully conversant with the term 'Makkah' as a place and refers to it.
There is no supportfor the claim in the Quran that 'Bakkah' is an old
name for 'Makkah' or another name for it. Makkah was always known as
‘Makkah’.
Makkah is mentioned in the verse 48:24 of the Quran which means that
the Quran separates “Bakkah” from “Makkah” and talks about two
differentplaces.However, our traditionally wrong translations mislead us
by describing Bakkah as Makkah whereas there is no historical evidence
available in the supportof those Muslim scholars who have invented the
lie that Bakkah was the old name of Makkah.
‫م‬ُ‫ه‬ْ‫ن‬َِ ْ‫م‬ُ‫ك‬َ‫ي‬‫ي‬‫د‬ْ‫ي‬َ‫أ‬َ‫و‬ ْ‫م‬ُ‫ك‬‫ن‬َِ ْ‫م‬ُ‫ه‬َ‫ي‬‫ي‬‫د‬ْ‫ي‬َ‫أ‬ َّ‫ف‬َ‫ك‬‫ي‬‫ي‬‫ذ‬َّ‫ال‬ َ‫و‬ُ‫ه‬َ‫و‬َ‫ة‬َّ‫ك‬َ‫م‬ ‫ي‬‫ن‬ْ‫ط‬َ‫ب‬‫ي‬‫ب‬(48:24)
"And He it is Who has withheld men's hands from you, and has withheld
your hands from them, in the valley of Makkah, after He had made you
victors over them. God is seerof what you do" (48:24)
A very significant question is quite appropriate here:
The Quran makes use of the word 'Makkah'. So why wasn’t it use in
verse 3.96?
It is important to note that the mention of 'Bakkah' as the original
sanctuary is being confirmed during a dialogue with the People of the
Book who would have had recourse to their own scriptures.Let us note
the dialogue.
Quran 3:93-100
All food was lawful to the Children of Israel, exceptwhat Israel Made
unlawful for itself,before the Law (of Musa) was revealed. Say: "Bring ye
the Law and study it, if ye be men of truth." If any, after this, invent a lie
and attribute it to God, they are indeed unjust wrong-doers.Say: "God

13. speaks the Truth: follow the religion of Ibrahim, the upright in faith; he
was not of the polytheists." The first House appointed for men was that
at Bakkah: Full of blessing and of guidance for all kinds of beings:In it
are Signs Manifest; (for example), the Station of Abraham; whoever
enters it attains security; Pilgrimage to is a duty men owe to God,- those
who can afford the journey; but if any deny faith, God stands not in need
of any of His creatures. Say: "O People of the Book! Why do you reject
the Signs of God,when God is Himself witness to all you do?" Say: "O
ye People of the Book! Why do you obstruct those who believe from the
path of God seeking to make it crooked,while you were yourselves
witnesses (to God's Covenant)? but God is not unmindful of all that you
do." O ye who believe! If you listen to a faction among the People of the
Book, they would (indeed) render you disbelieversafter ye have
believed!"
The Arabic verb bakka (‫,)بك‬ with TASHDEED on “ ‫“ک‬ means to crowd
like in a bazaar and without TASHDEED on“ ‫“ک‬ the Arabic verb baka
(‫ى‬َ‫ك‬َ‫ب‬) is the past participle of yabki (‫ي‬ِ‫ك‬ْ‫ب‬َ‫ي‬), means to cry.
'Bakkah' (or Baca) was a place known to the People of the Book as is
evidenced from their scriptures and in the dialogue captured above.
What is meant by 'Baca' in the Hebrew text (i.e. weeping etc) does not
deter from the point that this valley (Hebrew: emeq {ay-mek} valley /
lowland / open country or vale) within Palestine was known to the
People of the Book at the time of Prophet Muhammad's (pbuh)
preaching.
Please see the reference of Zaboor(Psalm 84:6) in which Allah has
already mentioned the place “Bakka”.
Psalm 84:6 New International Version (NIV) “As they pass through the
Valley of Baka”,‫ָֽם׃‬ ָ‫לְבָב‬ִּ‫ב‬ ‫ֹות‬ ּ֗‫ל‬ ִּ‫ס‬ ְְ֝‫מ‬ ‫ְך‬ ָָ֑‫ב‬ ‫ֹו‬ ֥‫עָֹֽוז־ל‬ ‫ם‬ָ‫ד‬ ָָ֭‫א‬ ‫י‬ ֵ֣‫ר‬ ְ‫ש‬ַ‫א‬ (original Hebrew text)
Psalm 84
84.1 How amiable are thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!
84.2 My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD:
my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.
84.3 Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest
for herself,where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O LORD of
hosts, my King, and my God.

14. 84.4 Blessedare they that dwell in thy house: they will be still
praising thee. Selah.
84.5 Blessedis the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart
are the ways of them.
84.6 Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain
also filleth the pools.
84.7 They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion
appeareth before God.
84.8 O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of
Jacob. Selah.
84.9 Behold,O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine
anointed.
84.10 For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather
be a doorkeeperin the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of
wickedness.
84.11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give
grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk
uprightly.
84.12 O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
'Baka' is a place known to be in Palestine
NO HEBREW PROPHET HAS BEEN KNOWN TO PERFORM
PILGRIMAGE AT MAKKAH
If, as the Quranic verse states, Prophet Ibrahim's (pbuh) first house was
a blessing forall 'Mankind' (Arabic: Alameen) (3:96) and that pilgrimage
was 'proclaimed' to all mankind (22:27), then a very valid question
arises.

15. Why did no Prophetafter Prophet Ibrahim (pbuh) (of which there were
many) ever travel to Makkah to perform the pilgrimage?
There is no documented proofor support that Prophets Lut, Musa,
Haroon, Yaqub, Yusuf, Daud, Suleman, Yunus and even Isa (pbut) ever
travelled to a sanctuary in the Arabian Hijaz at Makkah to perform
pilgrimage, nor did their followers.
This is a very sound question as the place of worship had already been
proclaimed (2:128)and the Pilgrimage had already beendeclared
(22.27)before the births of all of these messengers of God.Why is it
then that none of the followers of these messengers were ever known to
travel to Makkah in Arabia to fulfil their rites first instituted by their father
of faith, Prophet Ibrahim? (pbuh)
‫ر‬‫ي‬‫ام‬َ‫ض‬ ِّ‫ي‬‫ل‬ُ‫ك‬‫ى‬َ‫ل‬ََِ‫و‬ ً‫اال‬َ‫ج‬‫ي‬‫ر‬ َ‫وك‬ُ‫ْت‬‫أ‬َ‫ي‬ ِّ‫ي‬‫ج‬َْ‫ْل‬‫ا‬‫ي‬‫ب‬ ‫ي‬‫َّاس‬‫الن‬ ‫ي‬‫ِف‬ ‫ن‬ِّ‫ي‬‫ذ‬َ‫أ‬َ‫و‬َ‫ل‬ََِ‫و‬ ً‫اال‬َ‫ج‬‫ي‬‫ر‬ َ‫وك‬ُ‫ْت‬‫أ‬َ‫ي‬ ِّ‫ي‬‫ج‬َْ‫ْل‬‫ا‬‫ي‬‫ب‬ ‫ي‬‫َّاس‬‫الن‬ ‫ي‬‫ِف‬‫ن‬ِّ‫ي‬‫ذ‬َ‫أ‬َ‫و‬‫ر‬‫ي‬‫ام‬َ‫ض‬ ِّ‫ي‬‫ل‬ُ‫ك‬‫ى‬(22:27)
"And proclaim to mankind the pilgrimage.They will come to thee on foot
and on every lean camel; they will come from every deep ravine"(22:27)
· Note the proclamation to 'An Naas' (all mankind).
It remains difficultto acceptthe propositionthat all the Prophets that
came after Prophet Ibrahim (pbuh) (Musa, Daud, Suleman, Isa (pbut)
and all the others (pbut)) would perform their practices at a place other
than the location that is being mentioned above. We know that these
practices were prescribed from the previous scriptures. It is also clear
that these practices were being performed in localities around Jerusalem
not Makkah. There is no mention of Makkah as a sacred place in any
historic document for the followers of the previous scriptures.
The old sanctuary that Prophet Ibrahim (pbuh) constructed has been
describedas a ‘mubaraka’ (blessing)and a ‘huda’ (guidance) for all
‘alameen’ (creation) in the Quran. Here again a valid question arises.
How can the Kaaba sanctuary today at Makkah serve the conditions of a
blessing and guidance to all mankind when Jews, Christians and others
are forbiddenfrom its precincts?
Certainly in Jerusalem,Muslims, Christians and Jews are all allowed
within its environs.
QURAN 3:96

16. “The first House appointed for men was that at Bakkah: Blessed and
guidance for all kinds of beings”
The Quranic use of the term 'Blessed'to signify a land that is blessed
has always beenreserved for localities around the Jerusalem;
For example, some terms used in the Quran.
(1) Barakna hawlahu: 17:1 - Masjid Aqsa (Bait Al-Muqaddas)
(2) Barakna fiha: 7:137 - Blessed lands forthe Children of Israel
21:71 - Prophets Ibrahim and Lut (pbut) delivered to the blessed lands
21:81 - Wind flowed for Suleman (pbuh) on the blessed lands
34:18 - Saba and cities in-between
(3) Mubarakan: 3:96 - The first house that Prophet Ibrahim (pbuh) built
The Quran never makes use of the term 'barakna' to describe the
sanctuary at Makkah, which is normally referred to as 'Masjid Haram'
(Prohibited / inviolable mosque ) or the Kaaba which is presentwithin its
bounds.
َ‫يم‬‫ي‬‫اه‬َ‫ر‬ْ‫ب‬‫ي‬‫إ‬ ُ‫ام‬َ‫ق‬َّ‫م‬ ٌ‫ات‬َ‫ن‬ِّ‫ي‬‫ي‬َ‫ب‬ ٌ‫ات‬َ‫آي‬ ‫ي‬‫يه‬‫ي‬‫ف‬(3:97)
In it are Signs manifest, the Station of Ibrahim
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) discarded the 360 idols and did not retain
for Islam, the Kaaba (the house of idols)and its Black Stone. Afterwards
the pagan shrine was reconstructed with the black stone (Hajr-e-Aswad)
and fake Maqaam-e-Ibrahim was made justifying it with the claim that
Ibraham (pbuh) and Ismael(pbuh)originally constructed it. However,
there is no historical or archaeological evidence for the existence of the
Kaaba beyond a few hundred years before ProphetMuhammad's (pbuh)
lifetime.
‫ي‬‫ام‬َ‫ق‬َّ‫م‬ ‫ن‬‫ي‬‫م‬ْ‫ا‬‫و‬ُ‫ذ‬‫َّي‬‫اَّت‬َ‫و‬ً‫ا‬‫ن‬ْ‫م‬َ‫أ‬َ‫و‬ ‫ي‬‫َّاس‬‫ِّلن‬‫ي‬‫ل‬ ً‫ة‬َ‫اب‬َ‫ث‬َ‫م‬ َ‫ت‬ْ‫ي‬َ‫ْب‬‫ل‬‫ا‬ ‫ا‬َ‫ن‬ْ‫ل‬َ‫ع‬َ‫ج‬ ْ‫ذ‬‫ي‬‫إ‬َ‫و‬َ‫يم‬‫ي‬‫اه‬َ‫ر‬ْ‫ب‬‫ي‬‫إ‬‫ي‬‫اه‬َ‫ر‬ْ‫ب‬‫ي‬‫إ‬ َ‫َل‬‫ي‬‫إ‬ ‫ا‬َ‫ن‬ْ‫د‬‫ي‬‫ه‬ََِ‫و‬‫ى‬ًّ‫ل‬َ‫ص‬ُ‫م‬‫ا‬َ‫ر‬ِّ‫ي‬‫ه‬َ‫ط‬ ‫ن‬َ‫أ‬ َ‫يل‬‫ي‬ِ‫ا‬َْْ‫ي‬‫إ‬َ‫و‬ َ‫يم‬َ‫ي‬‫ي‬‫ف‬‫ي‬‫ائ‬َّ‫ط‬‫ل‬‫ي‬‫ل‬ َ‫ي‬‫يت‬ْ‫ي‬َ‫ب‬
‫ي‬‫ود‬ُ‫ج‬ُّ‫الس‬ ‫ي‬‫ع‬َّ‫ك‬ُّ‫الر‬َ‫و‬ َ‫ي‬‫ي‬‫ف‬‫ي‬‫اك‬َ‫ْع‬‫ل‬‫ا‬َ‫و‬(2:125)

17. “As We made the House a place of assemblyfor people and a place of
safety. And appointed the place of Ibrahim a meeting point. And We
covenanted with Ibrahim and Ismaelthat they should sanctify My House
for the visitors and for those who stay and for their humble
submission”(2:125 true translation).َ‫ي‬‫ي‬‫ف‬‫ي‬‫ائ‬َّ‫ط‬‫ل‬‫ي‬‫ل‬ means ‘for visitors’ and َ‫ي‬‫ي‬‫ف‬‫ي‬‫اك‬َ‫ْع‬‫ل‬‫ا‬
means ‘the people who stay’‫ع‬َّ‫ك‬ُّ‫الر‬ means ‘the humble who bow down
before Allah’s commandments’and ‫ي‬‫ود‬ُ‫ج‬ُّ‫الس‬ means ‘submissionto Allah’.
There is strong supportthat the Prophets before ProphetMuhammad
(pbuh) held the area of Jerusalem and the Temple within its environs
and the ‘signs’ are at Jerusalem where one would also find the station of
Prophet Ibrahim (pbuh).
Maqaam-e-Ibraham at Makkah claims to bear the 'footimprints' of
Prophet Ibrahim (pbuh) from nearly 4000 years ago. This is quite an
interesting claim but not without some academic incredulity.
Have these footprints actually been preserved fornearly 4 millennia
without the knowledge of anyone from the previous readers of the
scriptures? Or are they a later institution to give the site validity as the
original sanctuary of Prophet Ibrahim (pbuh)?
The Jews claim the Foundation stone (Hebrew: Even haShetiya) at the
site of the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem to be the location where
Prophet Ibrahim (pbuh) nearly sacrificed his son Isaac (pbuh) but our
traditions say that ProphetIbrahim(pbuh) was passing through Minah
near Makkah when Shaitan stoppedhim three times and he stoned
Shaitan. However, whoever made up this false story of stoning the
Shaitans did not realise that Jerusalem to Minah or Makkah is not on the
walking distance for someone who walked with his Son from home to
sacrifice him. Or did Prophet Ibrahim walk with his son all the way from
Jerusalem to Minah about 2000 kilometres to sacrifice his son and
Shaitan stoppedhim 2000 kilometres away from their homeland?
Therefore the ritual of stoning Shaitan at the time of Hajj seems doubtful.
Prophet Ibrahim's (pbuh) first house that he built with ProphetIshmael
(pbuh) has never been describedas the 'Masjid Haram', the 'Kaaba' or
indeed the 'Haram' in the Quran. (The latter 'haram' (forbidden)being the
key epithet forthe site at Makkah).
The term 'haram' means to forbid,prevent, to make unlawful, deprive,
inviolable, to be refused something or to involve some contention or

18. wrangling. This definition is certainly consistentwith many Quranic
verses used to describethe sanctuary at Makkah.
The original sanctuary built by Prophets Ibrahim and Ismael(pbut)
however has been described with the key epithet 'Bayt' (house) and
usually with a prefix or a suffixbut without the use of term 'haram'
(forbidden/ inviolable). Whether this is the first house (Awwala Bayt) or
the Ancient House (Bayt al-ateeq) or simply 'the house' (al-bayt), there
appears to be consistent use of the term 'Bayt' without the use of
'haram'. Where Bayt and haram appear combined,the Arabian
sanctuary is indicated as in 5:2 and 5:97.
The Quran describes the sanctuary at Makkah as:
Masjid Al Haram - 2:144,2:217,5:2, 8:34, 9:7, 9:19, 9:28, 17:1, 22:25,
48:25;48:27
Kaaba - 5:95;5:97
Bayt Al Haram (Sacred House) - 5:2, 5:97
Bayt (House) - 8:35,2:158
To describe the Sanctury that Prophet Ibrahim (pbuh) built with his son.
Bayt al Ateeq (Ancient House) - 22:29,22:33
Awwala Bayt (First House) - 3:96
Bayt Al Ma'amur (Frequented House)- 52:4
Bayt (House) - 22:26,2:125,2:127

"As We gave to Ibrahim, the site of the House , indeed associate not
anything with Me and sanctify My House for visitors and for residents
and for humble submissions "(22:26true translation)
· No 'Masjid Haram' is mentioned. Only the 'House ' situated
at a particular site.

19. It is inconceivable to imagine that all the Prophets that came after
Prophets Ibrahim (pbuh) (Musa, Daud, Suleman, Isa (pbut) and all the
others (pbut)) would perform their duties/practices at a place other than
the location that is being mentioned.We know that these religious
practices were prescribed from the previous scriptures. It is also clear
that these practices were being performed in Jerusalem,not Makkah.
There is no mention of Makkah as a sacred place in any historic
documentor previous scripture.
‫ي‬‫ي‬‫ت‬َ‫ْع‬‫ل‬‫ا‬ ‫ي‬‫ت‬ْ‫ي‬َ‫ْب‬‫ل‬‫ا‬‫ي‬‫ب‬ ‫وا‬ُ‫ف‬َّ‫و‬َّ‫ط‬َ‫ْي‬‫ل‬َ‫و‬َ(22:29),‫ي‬‫ي‬‫ت‬َ‫ْع‬‫ل‬‫ا‬ ‫ي‬‫ت‬ْ‫ي‬َ‫ْب‬‫ل‬‫ا‬ َ‫َل‬‫ي‬‫إ‬َ(22:33)
Ancient House is mentioned - No Masjid Haram
The black cuboid shaped kaaba cannot be built on the actual
foundations of ProphetIbrahim and Ismaelbecause they were urged to
keep it sanctified for the visitors, for staying in it and for those who
acceptand practice Allah’s commandments (2:125).However, the door
of this black cuboid is always closed forgeneral public it is also
impossibleto gather people up and stay in the small cuboid.If the area
of HATEEM was inside the black cuboid at a time then again the current
building of kaaba i.e.the cuboid is not built on the original foundations of
Prophet Ibrahim (pbuh). The outer area of this cuboid has also been
extended so many times which cannot be consideredthe part of original
sanctuary raised by Prophet Ibrahim (pbuh). In the light of these
practical facts we should acceptthis reality that the ProphetIbrahim
(pbuh) did not build this black cuboid that is at present known as kaaba
and there is no doubt that this black cuboid was built by pagans to
worship idols.
We all know that our Holy Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) had demolished
all idols of kaaba but we do not know the fact that our Prophet (pbuh)
had also demolishedthe cuboid.The cuboid (kaaba), however, was
reconstructed afterwards and supported by fabricated ahadith in which it
was wrongly describedthat Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) had installed the
black stone (Hajr-e-Aswad) in the Eastern corner of the cuboid and
kissed this black stone. This lie was invented to mislead the Muslim
nation to turn them towards paganism.
Considerthis: if Alcoholis declared Haram and Allah orders you to
destroyit, will you destroythe alcohol and keep the bottle? Keeping the
empty bottle means that you left the option open for someone to refill
this bottle with the forbiddenalcohol again. Likewise, if the cuboid of

20. kaaba was used to serve as a shelter or container for the idols since the
idols were kept inside this cuboid, then breaking the idols but preserving
their cubical store room (kaaba) means to leave the option open for
paganism or idol worship to start again. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)
could not have left the option open to restart idol worship.
Furthermore, there is evidence in the history of Arab pagans that they
had engraved their idols on the walls of kabaa (the cuboid)and they also
had paintings of their gods on the walls of the cuboid which cannot be
destroyed without destroying the cuboid (kaaba) itself. So, there was no
other option left but to smash the cuboid. Therefore,Prophet
Muhammad (pbuh) demolished the cuboid of kaaba together with its
idols. The history of kaaba also tells us that the said cuboid was
reconstructed 100 or more years after the death of the Holy Prophet
(pbuh) and it was demolished and reconstructed many times afterwards.
This is also a historical fact that at one time the black stone (Hijr-e-
Aswad) was removed and smashed and the cuboid remained without
the black stone for many years. The smashed pieces of the black stone
were then joined together and placed in a silver enclosure and
reinstalled in the cuboid. This black stone (Hijr-e-Aswad) is known as the
Hindu idol shiv ling. The stone of the moon god is installed in the golden
cage as the station of Ibrahim (Maqam-e-Inrahim) and the black cuboid
is itself an idol and symbolof Al-Laat.
Therefore,whenever we pray Namaz in the Masjid Al-Haraam or
anywhere else facing towards the kaaba (cuboid) we are in reality
worshiping idols and committing SHIRK minimum 5 or more times a day.
Praying more Namaz and committing more Shirk because Namaz is idol
worship and paganism.
How can we capture Allah in the small cuboid of kaaba when He is the
Master of the universes and His presence is everywhere? According to
the verse 2:177 of the Quran, it doesn’tmatter to Allah whether we face
towards the East or the West.Allah’s worship is only His obedience and
nothing else, whereas the ritual Prayer Namaz cannot be performed
without facing towards the particular direction of the cuboid of kaaba !
We are only required to obey Allah (SWT)and our accountability will be
according to the orders of the Quran. We will not be asked why we did
not obey other books/sources/traditions/sayings outsidethe Quran. The
details of Allah’s orders which we have to follow are mentioned in the
following verse 2:177 of the Quran. If we obey Allah’s orders we will

(2:177)
The righteousness/obedienceis not that you turn your faces/fronts
facing the sunrise/east, and the sunset/west, and but the
righteousness/obedience (is) who believed with God,and the Day the
Last/ResurrectionDay, and the angels and The Book, and the prophets,
and brought/gave the property/possession/wealth on his love/like (to it),
(to) of the relations/near (ones), and the orphans, and the poorestof the
poor/pooroppressed,and the traveler/stranded traveler , and the
askers/beggars , and in the necks'/slaves' (freeing), and kept
up/performedthe prayers, and gave/brought the charity/purification , and
the fulfilling with the promise/contractif they promised/madea contract,
and the patient in the misery/hardship and the calamity/disastrous
distress , and (during the) time of the war/hardship ,those are who were
truthful, and those, those are the fearing and obeying (God).(2:177
translation by Literal)
True piety does not consistin turning your faces towards the east or the
west - but truly pious is he who believes in God, and the Last Day; and
the angels, and revelation, and the prophets;and spends his substance
- however much he himself may cherish - it - upon his near of kin, and
the orphans, and the needy, and the wayfarer, and the beggars,and for
the freeing of human beings from bondage;and is constant in prayer,
and renders the purifying dues; and [truly pious are] they who keep their
promises whenever they promise,and are patient in misfortune and
hardship and in time of peril: it is they that have proved themselves true,
and it is they, they who are conscious of God.(2:177 translation by Asad)
I have written what I understood from my researchand study of the
Quran over the years but Allah knows the best.
