The process of converting Qibla from Masjid al-Aqsa to Masjid alHaram
AbstractIn some religions, it is considered necessary to return to a certain direction during the fulfillment of some worship. These aspects considered sacred were determined by divine signs not determined by people. This direction, expressed in the Islamic law as Qibla, is the Kaaba in Mecca. There are different narrations about which side the Prophet (pbuh) headed before him in Mecca. There are three different approaches in which the Qibla is the Kaaba, the worship of Jerusalem and the Kaaba are returned to Jerusalem. When the data in the sources are examined, it is seen that the Prophet (pbuh) has turned to Kaaba from the beginning of the risalah. There is a consensus that when Muslims return to Jerusalem during worship after the Hijra. There are two different approaches to this. The first is that the Prophet (pbuh) is his own preference, and the other is that it is realized by the order of Allah. In Madinah, sixteen or seventeen months after the hijrah, the Qibla is finally considered to be the Kaaba
