Sunan Abi Dawud 3032 (Book 20, Hadith 105) #23322
The Wrongness of Two Qiblas in One Land

SUMMARY: It is not right to have two qiblas in one land.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: The Prophet said: Two Qiblas in one land are not right.
حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ الْعَتَكِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ قَابُوسَ بْنِ أَبِي ظَبْيَانَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ لاَ تَكُونُ قِبْلَتَانِ فِي بَلَدٍ وَاحِدٍ

TOPICS
land  *  right  *  qibla

QUICK LESSONS:
Pray towards the Kaaba located in Makkah with unity and harmony

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of having only one direction for prayer in a single land. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said that it is not right to have two qiblas in one land. A qibla is the direction Muslims face when they pray and it should be towards the Kaaba located in Makkah. Having two directions for prayer would cause confusion and disunity among Muslims living within a single area or country. This hadith teaches us that unity and harmony are important values to uphold even when it comes to something as simple as prayer direction.
