Peace and Blessings!

And yes. people seem to forget that we have 4 sacred months and not 1. That’s the first part of the wrong things they are doing and inventing on the pilgrimidge. But check that what Isaid about the stone “gods”, it’s in the Quran where God mentions it, and they have implememted it or after the prophet died, just continued what they did before the Quran.

Anyway, nice to talk to you. Yoru last sentence is a perfect one. Turn to God and ask for guidance, that’s all we can do.

peace.

As the Qiblah is concerned, if Salat is a specific action like the one that I wrote about (which does not mean that my method is incorrect, just that it can have a dual meaning or even that it is both equally correct) then there either IS or IS NOT a direction to face. That depends on the break down of Masjid Al-harram. If we look at the Arab conspiracy book, then there is quite a lot of information in there to help discern, and maybe it does help a person out.

If the Salat is strictly “commitments”, I have only one major issue. 4:102.

As for the Pilgramage, I have no final thoughts on that. They have changed too many times for my personal liking and I will speak to that on a more well educated manner in the future, inshallah. I will not attend anytime soon either, but if I were to, it would be in one of 4 months, based on a solar calendar.

I think the most important thing for each of us is to turn to God, seek answers within the Quran and just be humble on our march in Truth.

I had to come and comment on your conversation. With my study I have made at the moment, am not sure about what the masjid al haram is. As for the Quran translations, well I have tried to study many Quran’s for references also but the best one is the monotheist one.

Back to the subject, Sometimes I think, that the focal point is to Jerusalem, but at the moment I only turn in a way to connect to God and don’t use any focal points. God says : Righteousness is not that you turn your faces toward the east or the west, but [true] righteousness is [in] one who believes in God .

Then a bit off topic, but as for the focal point being Mecca and to relate it to pilgrimidge for example, I think that is what Zorotharies Bukhari etc taught people to circle walls and the stone, worship the fertility water etc. Where you basically doing what the ancient people did.

Actually God mentioned them. He mentions the 3 “gods” that people worshiped at that moment, and he reminded the people in the Quran, that they are nothing but inventions and they can do no harm.
Unfortunately those inventions are here again and basically after the prophet died, never left. The stone for example, that is circled 7 times, with no mention in the Quran, is the woman fertility “god” and the 2 stones are man “gods” who are to be stoned. I will not anytime soon attend to that place. Go check this out, if you haven’t already done it.

In the Quran reads that, and I don’t remember the arabic words, but I studied a little from some sites and from peoples writings and analysed words. God says to us, use the logic and get the best one, don’t over-analyse, because only those that are confused analyses too much, just to get confused.

My understanding is that we have the gathering to spread the truth and gather people to hear about God and the truth (not pilgrimidge), and it’s for all the mankind (islamists says it’s only for muslims, I think) and this is for “ramadan” which is 1 month or 10 days, not sure yet, I have to study more, God willing.

This is at the moment my understanding about the focal point and the pilgrimidge/gathering after analysing the Quran, references etc. God willing, if I made any mistake, I will try and go through the struggle and maybe once again come to the focal point, the straight way.

peace!.
