Question:
A questioner says: It is said that the Ka'bah's spout is directed toward the mihrab of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Is this claim correct?
Answer:
Allah knows best, but the mihrab of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) is directed toward the Ka'bah. This is because Jibril led the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in prayer, praying with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) at the beginning of the time and at the end of it, and he said that the prayer is valid between these two times. So the qiblah of the Prophet's Mosque is based on Jibril (peace be upon him).
