The Inviolable Place Of Worship

 

 

The Sacred Mosque and Perfection of Argument (L-176)

وَمِن حَيثُ خَرَجتَ فَوَلِّ وَجهَكَ شَطرَ المَسجِدِ الحَرامِ ۖ وَإِنَّهُ لَلحَقُّ مِن رَبِّكَ ۗ وَمَا اللَّهُ بِغافِلٍ عَمّا تَعمَلونَ149. 

وَمِن حَيثُ خَرَجتَ فَوَلِّ وَجهَكَ شَطرَ المَسجِدِ الحَرامِ ۚ وَحَيثُ ما كُنتُم فَوَلّوا وُجوهَكُم شَطرَهُ لِئَلّا يَكونَ لِلنّاسِ عَلَيكُم حُجَّةٌ إِلَّا الَّذينَ ظَلَموا مِنهُم فَلا تَخشَوهُم وَاخشَوني وَلِأُتِمَّ نِعمَتي عَلَيكُم وَلَعَلَّكُم تَهتَدونَ150. 

149.   Wa min hay-su kharajta fawalli waj-haka shatral-Mas-jidil-Haraam.

Wa ‘innahuu lal-haqqu mir-Rabbik. Wa mAllaahu bi-gaafilin ‘ammaa ta’-maluun.

150. Wa min hay-su kharajta fawalli waj-haka shatral-Mas-jidil-Haraam. Wa hay-su maa kuntum fawalluu wujuuhakum shatrahuu, li-‘allaa yakuuna lin-naasi ‘alaykum hujjatun, ‘illal-laziina zalamuu minhum; falaa  takhshaw-hum wakhshawNii; wa li-‘utimma ni’-maTii ‘alay-kum wa la-‘allakum tahtaduun.

149. And wherever you come from, turn your face towards the Sacred Mosque. This is the truth from your Lord, and God is not heedless of what you do.

150. And wherever you come from, turn your face towards the Sacred Mosque. And wherever you may be, turn your faces towards it. So that the people may not have any argument against you—except those who do wrong among them. So do not fear them, but fear Me, that I may complete My blessings upon you, and that you may be guided.

  

In these verses, there is a Commandment also regarding the change of the Qiblah and at the same time, it is said that it shouldn’t be like that, the people get chance of arguments from your works. The Idolaters and Infidels of Makkah may say that how they are the best followers of the religion of Abraham (Peace be upon him), who don’t accept his (Peace be upon him) Ka’bah as Qiblah. As about the fear, it must be only of Allah Almighty. The completion of the grace and blessings, the guidance and the success all are in His (God’s) Power. 


Urfi tuu may andesh zi ghoghaa -e- Raqiiban
Awaz-i Sagaan kam na kunad rizq-i Gadaa raa


{Wise! Don’t fear the up-roaring of the adversaries}

{Barking dogs don’t lessen sustenance of beggars} -
