The Direction of Prayer

SUMMARY: The Qiblah (direction of prayer) is between the east and the west.

(Another chain narrating that) Abu Hurairah narrated that : Allah's Messenger said: "What is between the east and the west is Qiblah".
حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الْمُعَلَّى بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْمَخْرَمِيُّ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الأَخْنَسِيِّ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ ‏"‏ مَا بَيْنَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ قِبْلَةٌ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ‏.‏ وَإِنَّمَا قِيلَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْمَخْرَمِيُّ لأَنَّهُ مِنْ وَلَدِ الْمِسْوَرِ بْنِ مَخْرَمَةَ ‏.‏ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْ غَيْرِ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ‏"‏ مَا بَيْنَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ قِبْلَةٌ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ مِنْهُمْ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ ‏.‏ وَقَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ إِذَا جَعَلْتَ الْمَغْرِبَ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ وَالْمَشْرِقَ عَنْ يَسَارِكَ فَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا قِبْلَةٌ إِذَا اسْتَقْبَلْتَ الْقِبْلَةَ ‏.‏ وَقَالَ ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ ‏"‏ مَا بَيْنَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ قِبْلَةٌ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ هَذَا لأَهْلِ الْمَشْرِقِ ‏.‏ وَاخْتَارَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ التَّيَاسُرَ لأَهْلِ مَرْوٍ

QUICK LESSONS:
Pray facing towards east-west direction
EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith from Abu Hurairah tells us that the direction of prayer for Muslims is between the east and west. This means that no matter where a Muslim is in the world, they will always face towards this direction when praying. It teaches us to be unified in our faith and to remember that we are all part of one global community regardless of where we live or what language we speak. Additionally, it reminds us to be mindful when praying and to focus on our connection with Allah as well as our connection with each other.
