Al-Bukhari Certainly, Allah's care and kindness towards His Messenger, Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) , and certainly, his Ummah is profoundly great. Allah has guided them to the Qiblah of Prophet Ibrahim .
He has commanded them to face the Ka`bah, the most honorable house which was built by Hazrat Ibrahim (A.S). It is a command from Allah to face the Ka`bah from wherever one is on the earth: the east, west, north or south. The exception is of the voluntary prayer while one is traveling, for one is allowed to offer it in any direction , while his heart is intending the Ka`bah.
Also, when the battle is raging, one is allowed to offer prayer, however he is able included are those who are not sure of the direction and offer prayer in the wrong direction, thinking that it is the direction of the Qiblah, because Allah does not burden a soul beyond what it can bear.
Hence, every nation and tribe has its own Qiblah that they choose, while Allah's appointed Qiblah is what the believers face. It is a command from Allah to face Al-Masjid Al-Haram from every part of the world during prayer.
His fulfillment of the Prophet's wish and ordered him to face the Qiblah that he liked and is pleased with. Allah states here that changing the Qiblah is also the truth from Him, that He likes and is pleased with. The Arabs used to honor the Ka`bah and liked the fact that the Holy Prophet was commanded to face it.
