Does the one praying in the Haram look toward the Ka'bah or toward the place of prostration?

Question:
Does the one praying in the Haram look toward the Ka'bah or toward the place of prostration?

Answer:
No, the one praying does not look at the Ka'bah; he looks at the place of his prostration. He does not look at the Ka'bah, nor at the sky, nor at what is in front of him, but rather he looks at the place of his prostration, because this is more conducive to humility and further from distraction.
