a non-muslim asked : if muslim's God is beyond our comprehension, why do muslims pray to stone(kaabah)? what is the different of islam and other religion then?
dr zakir naik : yes, if muslim worshiping kaabah, then, what is the difference between islam and your religion. but actually, no muslim ever workship the kaabah. the kaabah is just our kiblah and our direction.
because we muslims believe in unity. for example, there was a muslim say lets pray ti south, some say let pray to north, some say lets pray to east, or lets pray to west. so for unity, we pray with our direction to kaabah.
verse in quran says,
"when you pray, face toward kaabah" (al-baqarah:144)
so, kaabah is the kiblah, and not something we worshiping.
furthermore, now kaabah was proved that
the south pole was at the top and north pole bottom and kaabah is in the center.
when you re facing kaabah,
*if you are at the south, you face toward the north,
*if you re at the north, you face toward the south
*when you re in the east , you face toward the west
*when you re in the west, you are facing toward the east.
KAABAH IS THE CENTER OF THE WORLD.
saidina umar alkhatab, second khalifah of islam said,
"this stone can neither benefit me, can neither harm me. i am facing it only just because prophet once said."
-->this statement that the stone can neither benefit me or neither harm me, is sufficient to prove that muslim don't worshiping the kaabah.
lastly, at the time of the prophet, there was a sahabah,he stood on the kaabah and gives adzan. no idea of worshiping that we can ever stand on what that we re worshiping.
#so this proves that no muslim worship the kaabah and the kaabah is only the kiblah and the direction.
