Book Description:
Though Prophet Muhammad used to offer prayers while facing Jerusalem in
Mecca, he would also face the Ka`bah in the same direction as
Jerusalem. However, when he immigrated to Medina, he could no longer
face the Ka`bah and Jerusalem at the same time, which aggravated Prophet
Muhammad’s feelings of sadness, pain, and agony driven by homesickness
and estrangement.

Changing the Qiblah
Though Prophet Muhammad used to offer prayers while facing Jerusalem in Mecca, he would also face the Ka`bah in
the same direction as Jerusalem. However, when he immigrated to Medina,
he could no longer face the Ka`bah and Jerusalem at the same time,
which aggravated Prophet Muhammad’s feelings of sadness, pain, and agony
driven by homesickness and estrangement.
Therefore,
Prophet Muhammad wished to face the Ka`bah while offering prayers and
take it as a Qiblah as a sort of mitigation and alleviation and out of
the desire to be distinguished from the Jews who only showed arrogance
and obstinacy when Prophet Muhammad faced their Qiblah.
