Translation text: ‎السؤال: هذا يقول ما معنى قول الله تعالى {فأينما تولوا فثم وجه الله}؟ The question: What is the meaning of the Saying of Allah, “So wherever you turn yourselves or your faces there is the Face of Allah (and He is High above, over His Throne).” [2:115] ‎الجواب: هذه الآية نزلت بسبب وهو أن قومًا كانوا مسافرين فاشتبهت عليهم القبلة The answer: This Ayah was sent down for a reason, and it is that there was a group of travellers who were uncertain about the direction of the Qiblah. ‎اجتهدوا وصلوا الفجر فلما أصبحوا وجدوا أنهم صلوا إلى غير القبلة So, they made Ijtihad (did their best to try and find the correct Qiblah) and prayed Fajr. When they woke up they found that they did not pray to the Qiblah. ‎جاءوا إلى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فسألوه عن حكم صلاتهم فأنزل الله هذه الآية They then came to the Prophet ﷺ and asked him about their prayer (if it is valid or not), so Allah sent down this Ayah: ‎{ولله المشرق والمغرب فأينما تولوا فثم وجه الله} “And to Allah belong the east and the west, so wherever you turn yourselves or your faces there is the Face of Allah (and He is High above, over His Throne).” [2:115] ‎فالمسلم إذا اجتهد وطلب القبلة وهو في بر ما عنده أحد يخبره، اجتهد وصلى ثم تبين بعد ذلك أنه على خطأ فصلاته صحيحة لأنه فعل ما يستطيع So, if a Muslim makes Ijtihad, seeks the Qiblah, while he’s in a faraway place and has nobody to tell him about the Qiblah, and prays, then after that he finds out that it was wrong, then his prayer is valid. That is because he did what he could. ‎الله تعالى يقول {فاتقوا الله ما استطعتم} {لا يكلف الله نفسا إلا وسعها} هذا قول Allah the Most-High says: “So keep your duty to Allah and fear Him as much as you can.” [64:16] And He says: “Allah burdens not a person beyond his scope.” [2:286] This is one saying. ‎والقول الثاني أنها في النافلة في السفر، فالمسافر إذا أراد أن يصلي من الليل وهو في الطريق يمشي، يصلي أينما توجه في سفره The second saying states that it was sent down regarding the voluntary prayer in travel. If a traveller wants to pray the night prayer whilst travelling on his way, then he prays in whichever direction he’s heading in ‎ويصلي ولو لم يكن إلى القبلة، هذا في النافلة في السفر even if it’s not in the direction of the Qiblah, this is regarding the voluntary prayer when travelling. ‎وكان النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يصلي في السفر على راحلته، أينما توجهت به - يعني صلاة الليل وصلاة النافلة كان يصلي صلاة الليل عليه الصلاة والسلام على راحلته أينما توجهت به، نعم. The Prophet ﷺ used to pray the night prayer and voluntary prayer on his riding camel when travelling, in whichever direction it turned. ----------------------------------------------------- Rabbaniyeen ربانيين 🔴اليوتيوب🔴👇 https://www.youtube.com/@rabbaniyeen 🔴الانستجرام🔴👇 https://www.instagram.com/rabbaniyeen/ 🔴التيليغرام🔴👇 https://t.me/Rabbaniyeen
