What is the legal purpose of the change of the Qiblah from Jerusalem to the Kaaba, and what are the sayings of the scholars regarding that?
Indeed, Allah does not command or forbid His servants except for a wisdom. The believer must respond and submit to the commands of Allah and His Messenger. This was clearly evident in the Companions' response to the change of the Qiblah from Jerusalem to the Kaaba.
Scholars have mentioned some of the wisdoms behind the change of the Qiblah: - Fulfilling the desire of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, to face the Kaaba. - Cutting off the argument of the Jews regarding their disagreement in religion. - An indication of the transfer of religious leadership from the Children of Israel to the Arabs. - The connection of the rituals of Hajj to the Sacred House.
