    Don't you know that the west and east are distinguished by the IERS Reference Meridian?.

    So people from the west would face east and people from the east would face towards the west.

    Come on. Use common sense.

    Muslims in New Zealand face NW. In Madagascar North. In Moscow, South. Ever seen a world map? You know, the Philippines are not the centre of the world.

    The diffrence is we aren't worshiping the kaba, we simplest worship god, but it is the first mosque ever constructed. The Ka'ba is the holiest website online in Islam; the Holy Mosque used to be developed around it and considering of it. The qibla, the path Muslims face for the period of prayer, is the path dealing with the Ka'ba. The Ka'ba residences the mysterious Black Stone, which was revered in Mecca in pre-Islamic occasions as good. It grew to be a Muslim relic in the time of the Prophet Muhammad and pilgrims to Mecca attempt to stop and kiss it whilst circumambulating the Ka'ba during the hajj.

    Kaba is just a direction towards we face when we pray.

    a person living in south will face towards north, and vice versa.

    a person is east will face west and vice versa.

    I suppose they can just turn around. Or are they not allowed to do that either?
