Report: Saudi mosques 'not facing holy city of Makkah'
By: Abdulali
HOLY CITY OF MAKKAH, Saudi Arabia: Many prayer leaders of Saudi
Arabia have discovered that the direction of the holy city of Makkah
indicated to the faithful in their mosques is off-course.
Thanks to the images provided by Google Earth, some Saudi scientists
have been able to monitor the main mosques in the kingdom, discovering
that many of them have the qibla (the niche in the wall indicating the
direction of Makkah) placed incorrectly.
Daily 'al-Watan' reported quoting Saudi researcher Abelaziz al-Ghamidi
that in the area of al-Baha alone 15 mosques have been identified
where the qibla does not correspond correctly to the direction of the
holy city of Makkah.
Correct qibla direction is must in prayers.

get through wealth disappears as soon as wealth disappears but
what you achieve through knowledge will remain even after you."MORE
