Allah and His angels send blessings on the Prophet: O you who believe! Send blessings on him, and salute him (send salutations on him) with the utmost respect (Qur’an 33:56)
I would just like to announce that i am currently on Umrah and will not be able to moderate the blog for a while but inshallah by mid-august i shall be back. I request all for dua and ask for forgiveness from anyone and everyone who i have offended in any way on this blog. I am sincerely sorry if i have.
I leave you with this picture below. Inside the Ka’ba Sharif.
I cannot guarantee the authenticity of the photo, but it looks pretty authentic and i was given this by an unknown source telling me it was what i have mentioned above.
On May 28th @ 10:18 am GMT & July 16th 10:26 the sun stands directly above the Ka’ba sharif. One who turns his face towards the sun at that time, will be facing the direction of the Ka’ba Sharif (the qibla). In this way qibla direction can be easily determined. see here and here. On this calendar service the previously named dates are labelled as “World Qibla Day“. Amazing! like they say ‘you learn something new everyday’.
