Al-Baqarah (The Cow) | CHANGE OF DIRECTIONpresent section, which superseded the previous ones. The Prophet, and the Muslimswith him, were told to “Turn your face, then, towards the Sacred Mosque, and whereveryou all may be, turn your faces [in prayer] towards it.” (Verse 144)Jerusalem happened to be the qiblah for the Jews and the Christians also, and thefact that the Muslims too had been instructed to use it as theirs gave the Jews ofMadinah a ready excuse for refusing to recognize or accept Islam. They saw the factthat the Prophet and his companions faced Jerusalem when they prayed as proof thattheirs was the true religion and their qiblah was the original and legitimate one.Muĥammad and his followers, they argued, should follow their religion and refrainfrom trying to convert them to Islam.This was not easy for the Arab Muslims to accept, since they had always reveredthe Ka`bah and considered it their most sacred religious symbol. The Jewisharguments made the situation even harder for the Muslims.The Prophet Muĥammad entertained a wish to turn towards the Ka`bah, andcould be seen looking up to heaven anxiously, without uttering a word, trusting toGod and His wisdom.Not long afterwards instructions were revealed that the Muslims should turntowards the Ka`bah. Some Muslims were reportedly in the middle of performingtheir prayer when they heard the news, and immediately turned to face the Ka`bah.The Jews resented that decision which deprived them of their argument. Theybegan to question the wisdom of the Muslim leadership and to raise doubts aboutthe validity of the religious basis of Islam. Did the change of qiblah from Jerusalem tothe Ka`bah mean that the Muslims had been praying towards the wrong qiblah allthat time? And, if Jerusalem was the right qiblah, and it was correct to pray towardsit, then it must have been wrong to change to another one. Praying towards the newqiblah, the Ka`bah, would, in this case, not be valid. They further argued that suchabrogation of earlier orders could not be done by God. Hence, the decision musthave been made by Muĥammad himself, proving that he was not receiving anydivine revelations.The gravity of the controversy surrounding this event is clear from theconsiderable attention given in the Qur’ān to its ramifications and the effect it had onsome rank-and-file Muslims. It is also clear in the way the sūrah deals with theconcept of abrogation. This is discussed in full in Chapters 5 and 6, beginning withVerse 106. More on this later.The change of the qiblah was a central event in the history of Islam with farreachinglong-term consequences. It gave Islam a new focus and identified theMuslim community as an independent nation with a qiblah of its own.143
