Fw: Instead of Greenwich, Kaba Shareef should be the reference of time for all regions of the world
Assalamu 'alaikum,
Isn't the following Ayat Shareef is for Swalat? Is it applicable for time and space?
Wassalaaam
In sura al baqara, Allah says,
(150) - اور تم جہاں سے نکلو، مسجدِ محترم کی طرف منہ کرو۔ اور مسلمانو، تم جہاں ہوا کرو، اسی کی طرف رخ کیا کرو۔ اس لیے کہ لوگ تم کو کسی طرح کا الزام نہ دے سکیں۔ مگر ان میں سے جو ظالم ہیں، وہ الزام دیں تو دیں) سو ان سے مت ڈرنا اور مجھی سے ڈرتے رہنا۔ اور یہ بھی مقصود ہے کہ تم کو اپنی تمام نعمتیں بخشوں اور یہ بھی کہ تم راہِ راست پر چلو (150) - وَمِنْ حَيْثُ خَرَجْتَ فَوَلِّ وَجْهَكَ شَطْرَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ ۚ وَحَيْثُ مَا كُنْتُمْ فَوَلُّوا وُجُوهَكُمْ شَطْرَهُ لِئَلَّا يَكُونَ لِلنَّاسِ عَلَيْكُمْ حُجَّةٌ إِلَّا الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا مِنْهُمْ فَلَا تَخْشَوْهُمْ وَاخْشَوْنِي وَلِأُتِمَّ نِعْمَتِي عَلَيْكُمْ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُونَ
"then we
know this is already ordered in Quran to take Makah as reference point." - could you please give us the reference?
I found the following research article on KMT(Ka'aba Shareef Mean Time). Plz, have a look:
Instead of Greenwich , Kaba Shareef should be the reference of Time Zone.
Instead of Greenwich , Kaba Shareef should be the reference of time for
all regions of the world.
Today, Muslims are assaulted and insulted in every step due to
staying away from Islam. A large portion of the Muslims, as they have
lacking of ‘Ilm on complete Deen, so they are greatly careless of
acquiring `Ilm. The reasons of Muslims of staying away from Islam are
the carelessness of Muslims along with the evil scheme of the
Kaafir-Mushrik. The vast trap of their conspiracy is laid in our
religious, economical, social, family affairs, even in all daily
necessary stuffs. Day to day time of Muslims is determined maintaining
reference of Greenwich Time of the British. Though for Muslims, Ka’aba
Shareef is the guide for all matters.
Allah Pak declares in Suratul Al-imran (Ayat 96) Verily, the first
House of ibadat (worship) appointed for mankind was that at Bakkah
(Makkah), full of blessings and guidance for the mankind and jinn.
At present, (local) time of different regions of the world has been
fixed considering the time of Greenwich as the standard time; not only
that, the world is divided into different longitudinal lines keeping
the ‘0’ degree longitudinal line along the position of the Greenwich .
Whereas, the time of whole world should be determined by considering
only the sacred Ka’aba Shareef as the centre and the position of
Ka’aba Shareef will be the ‘0’ degree longitude (Prime Meridian) of
the world.
British Royal Observatory was founded on 1675. The meridian along the
Greenwich was chosen as Prime Meridian on 1884. It is not the case
that the prime meridian was imagined along Greenwich as a famous and
historical place. In fact, two reasons can be marked. At first, USA
was using Greenwich as prime meridian for their time zone even before
1884. As a result, their advantage is that they acquired compliance
from the trusted countries in the conference of fixing prime meridian
for us. Secondly, once the British were able to extend their
domination to some extent on earth and so, they, with assistance of
United States , had imposed over the world the matter of determining
time from Greenwich till that time. Although, even before Greenwich ,
Brussels , Copenhagen , Alexandria , Jerusalem , Lisbon , Madrid , Oslo ,
Paris , Rome , Stockholm , Ujein- all these areas also were used as Prime
Meridian . Not only that, before all these areas, Makkah was also used
as a prime meridian. It is clear that not for any historical reason
rather only for political cause Greenwich has been considered as Prime
Meridian .
Ka’aba Shareef is the most ancient place on earth. All over the
world, Ka’aba Shareef is known to everyone and is considered with
significance. In different countries of the world, there are more or
less Muslims who perform their Swalat facing toward the Ka’aba
Shareef. Besides that, the Jews and Christians are also informed about
the position, respect and reverence, historical importance of Ka’aba
Shareef as there are descriptions about Ka’aba Shareef in Tawrat
Shareef and Injil Shareef.
After the flood of the time of Hazrat Nooh ‘Alaihis Salaam, Hazrat
Ibrwahim ‘Alaihis Salaam rebuilt this Sacred Ka’aba Shareef. The two
sons of Hazrat Ibrwahim ‘Alaihis Salaam, Hazrat Ismaail ‘Alaihis
Salaam and Hazrat Is-haq ‘Alaihis Salaam were also granted as Nabee by
Allah Pak. Saiyeedul Mursaleen, Imaamul Mursaleen, Habeebullah
Huzur-i-Pak Swallallahu ‘Alaihi Wa Sallam makes Mubaarak Tashreef from
the Respectable Descendents of Hazrat Ismaeel ‘Alaihis Salaam; and
from Hazrat Is-haQ ‘Alaihis Salaam and from His Descendents was born
Hazrat Moosa ‘Alaihis Salaam and later came Hazrat ‘Eesa ‘Alaihis
Salaam. So, the importance of Ka’aba Shareef is unlimited to all the
Ahle Kitaab including the Jews and the Christians.
Today, there are about 670 crore of people in the world civilization
of thousands and thousands of years have passed away on this earth.
There are many countries, many nations and many languages in this
world. Hazrat Aadam ‘Alaihis Salaam is the ancient father of the
people of all colors, all the communities and all the nations. He is
the first human being and Nabee. There is no existence of any history
and there is no history older than the history of things related to
Him. Hazrat Aadam ‘Alaihis Salaam first built up the sacred Ka’aba
Shareef. If any place is to be selected considering its historic
significance, then the first priority will be Baitullah Shareef or
Ka’aba Shareef and no places on this earth can be more ancient than
this place. So, not the Greenwich rather considering Ka’aba Shareef as
the centre, the time regions of the world need to be fixed.
Custodian of the two holy mosques should take all necessary steps
fixing the Prime meridian over the Kaba Shareef.
