@Hadithoftheday Muslims were commanded to change Prayer Direction whilst they were Praying in Masjid.

@Hadithoftheday The qibla was then changed forever, from Bait Al-Maqdis in Jerusalem to the Holy Kaaba in Makkah
The mosque was named after this incident, as the mosque of the two qiblas, because part of the prayer was performed facing Jerusalem, and the rest was toward Makkah

@Hadithoftheday May Almighty Allah allow us to reach Masjid Aqsa, Masjid Al Haram, Masjid Al-Qiblatain and Masjid Nabawi at least once in our life. Aamen
