What Did Allah Mean In Quran 2:144? by Chosen59: 6:47pm On Dec 19, 2017
We have seen the turning of thy face to heaven (for guidance, O Muhammad). And now verily We shall make thee turn (in prayer) toward a qiblah which is dear to thee. So turn thy face toward the Inviolable Place of Worship, and ye (O Muslims), wheresoever ye may be, turn your faces (when ye pray) toward it. Lo! Those who have received the Scripture know that (this revelation) is the Truth from their Lord. And Allah is not unaware of what they do (Quran 2:144)

It looks as if Allah was rebuking the Jews and the Christians for not facing Kaaba, despite the fact that they knew about it.

Where did Yahweh reveal to the Jews and the Christians to face Kaaba when praying?

Where did Yahweh tell the Israelites about Kaaba and Abraham building it?

If he (Yahweh) didn't tell the Israelites about Kaaba and its builders, how did Allah expect them to know and face it when praying?

Do you expect Paul to leave a text that won't fetch him anything in the book?

I expect the Muslims to respond.

I have come to discover that so many things in Islam are not real. So many Quranic statements are untrue.

Give your life to Jesus and escape hellfire. Jesus is the only way to the true God(John 14:6). There is a God and there are many gods impersonating God and people worship them as their God

Kaaba is also called Baka in the Quran and it was mentioned in the Bible Old Testament as a place of pilgrimage for the believers and I quote;
"Blessed are those whose strength is in you, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage. As they pass through the valley of BAKA, they make it a place of springs; the autumn rains also cover it with pools"

So how is Baca ( not even Baka as you pointed out) now mean kaaba. Can you please give us authorized language translation or reference by an independent source on that, that Baca in the Bible means Kaaba. Because I can as well twist things like you did and said it’s referring to the modern day Barcelona. grin Up Baca

Tell me where in the same Bible it says the Baca is in Arabian peninsula. In fact, the passage if you read further say, they passed through just a Valley Baca while their destination is Zion. They were not going to Baca. So is Zion still Kaaba? Now tell me. How does this your falsehood add value to Islam? It’s not as if Baca in the passage is any place important than Zion they are on the way to. For your information, Zion means Jerusalem. Therefore, Jerusalem is holier than your Kaaba , if you insist Baca an ordinary place they pass through on their way to Jerusalem on their way to worship God means Kaaba .

Muslims are jokers. Always looking for opportunities in the Bible to validate Quran falsehood.

How wrong you are. Baka means "the place of weeping. Besides the Bible passage you quoted talks about the Jews on pilgrimage to Zion and were passing through Baka. Baka was not their destination they were only passing through it. Do you pass through Kaaba to go to Zion?

My friend, Baka is not the same as Kaaba. Educate yourself further here:

Nowhere did Yahweh tell the Israelites about Kaaba and no prophets from Israel talked about it or worship there. Were it truly built by Abraham, would Israelites not recognize it? Not even Sarah, Isaac or Jacob went there. Why would Abraham's nuclear family not recognize it talkless the whole of Israel?
