People of all religions live all over the world. People of all religions have their own faith and culture, which is followed by the people of that religion. Not only this, the way of praying of people of different religions is also different. Today we will tell you why people who believe in Islam stand in a line and look in the same direction while offering Namaz.
The population of people following Islam is increasing rapidly all over the world. According to statistics, currently there are about 1.9 billion people of the Muslim community around the world, which will increase to 2.2 billion by 2030. Today, Islam is the largest religion in the world, whose followers are about 24 percent of the total world population. These figures have been taken from 'The Globalist'.
It is necessary for Muslims to offer Namaaz five times a day. There is no scope to avoid it under any pretext in the Muslim religion. You must have noticed that all the Muslims of the world offer Namaaz facing the same direction, they offer Namaaz individually or in a group but their face is in only one direction. Apart from this, they stand together in a row while offering Namaaz. There is no dispute among them regarding this. The reason for this is that it is clearly mentioned in the Quran and Hadith that Namaaz should be offered facing the Qibla direction and should be offered while standing in a flat position. That is, the direction of Namaaz should be faced in the Mecca Mosque of Saudi Arabia and where Muslims from all over the world go to perform Hajj.
In which direction is Namaz recited in India?
This mosque is in the west of India, so Muslims in India pray facing west. But Muslims from countries coming from other directions of Saudi Arabia also pray facing north-south or east. Therefore, instead of the direction being important here, turning towards the Mecca Mosque is considered more important. According to Maulana Abrar Qasmi, Allah is present in every corner of the world. They are in every direction, but the main purpose behind the order to offer namaz facing the Qibla is to bind everyone together and avoid disputes. Standing equally in a row shows that all his servants are equal in front of Allah, whether they are poor or rich. Everyone is equal.
