KİBLEBULMA - DEVASA+ (3)
Qibla direction holds a significant place in the Islamic faith, symbolizing the direction towards the Kaaba in the Sacred Mosque in Mecca, which is a focal point for Muslims around the world. The term "qibla" itself translates to 'direction' in Arabic, signifying the spiritual orientation that Muslims adopt during their prayers. To assist individuals in determining the qibla direction, various tools and methods have been developed, ranging from traditional compasses to modern technological solutions. One such method involves aligning a real compass with the direction of North to establish the correct qibla direction. Additionally, advancements in technology have led to the creation of Qibla finder apps and online platforms that offer accurate qibla direction information with just a few clicks.
The availability of tools like Qibla finder apps and online platforms has made it easier for Muslims to find the qibla direction with precision and convenience. These applications utilize GPS technology to determine the user's current location and provide the corresponding qibla direction, allowing individuals to perform their prayers with accuracy regardless of where they are in the world. Moreover, online Qibla Finders offer comprehensive databases that include the qibla angles of important cities and centers worldwide, enabling users to access this vital information swiftly and efficiently. By embracing these technological advancements, Muslims can fulfill their religious obligations with confidence and peace of mind, knowing they are facing the sacred Kaaba during their prayers.
Identifying the correct qibla direction is of utmost importance for Muslims when performing their daily prayers. The qibla finder as a focal point that unites Muslims globally in worship, emphasizing the unity and solidarity within the Islamic community. Ensuring that one faces the qibla during prayer is not only a physical alignment but also a symbolic connection to the center of the Islamic faith, fostering a sense of spiritual connection and devotion. By correctly identifying the qibla direction, individuals uphold a fundamental aspect of their faith and demonstrate reverence and obedience to Allah, enhancing the spiritual significance and efficacy of their prayers.

Since the fast has just started and I’m obsessed with your Muslim ghosts au , I was just thinking about ghost and reader breaking their fast together
Iftar date with Muslim!Simon? Yes, please.
Frankly, when Simon said that for once the two of you should both go out for iftar, you thought he would just take you to a restaurant.
The journey started with a motorcycle ride. Instead of towards the places you both would usually go for dinner, he drove somewhere more serene. He took you somewhere with fewer people and more trees. You both eventually reached a higher altitude.
No matter how many times you asked where you were going, Simon gave you only a response, but not an answer. You’ll see. Or Just wait. Or We’re almost there.
Simon eventually stopped atop a hill. He turned his engine off and without getting off the bike, offered you a hand to help you get off the bike. Once you did, you removed your helmet and put it on the backseat of the bike.
Whilst Simon got himself of his steed, you looked around the rocky plateau area where you stood. It was spacious and it served quite the scenery. The sun was in the process of retiring into the nearby lake.
“Mind giving me a hand, love?” Simon asked.
When you turned to face him again, Simon was getting some stuff out of the saddlebags. Thermos, food containers, a blanket, and more.
From there, the two of you set up a little picnic area. Simon started a small campfire and soon enough after, the two of you sat next to each other, facing the sunset. Steaming tea had already been poured out of the thermos, food was readied, prayer mats were available nearby for later, a lantern was set aside in case of need.
Simon took his phone out and glanced at the time.
“Two minutes to go,” Simon said. “We should probably check where the qibla is as well.”
“We’ll pray here as well?” you asked, rather excitedly.
“We could probably find somewhere indoor if you want that,” Simon said.
“That’s probably going to push it so close to Isya,” you said. “This is nice.”
“Yeah?” Simon said.
“Yeah, I can’t believe you’re doing this,” you chuckled.
Simon only looked at you for a moment, a thin smile on his face. He, then, looked back down to his phone.
“It’s this way,” Simon stated, facing a direction.
With so, you rotated the folded prayer mats to face that direction.
“How many minutes left?” you asked.
Simon glanced back at his phone briefly.
“Still two minutes,” Simon answered.
“It was two minutes some time ago,” you said.
“Still two minutes,” Simon repeated, shrugging, looking at his phone as the time finally shifted. “One minute now.”
“One minute,” you nodded.
“Less than,” Simon said before gesturing at the sun that was almost completely swallowed by the lake. “I mean, we’re also witnessing Maghrib in real life.”
“Waiting for Maghrib while watching Maghrib,” you concluded.
“If we’re in Morocco we’d be in Maghrib as well,” Simon said.
“Like the same word?” you asked.
“Yeah. Maghrib means something that’s related to west, I think. Morocco is in the western part of the continent, sun sets in the west,” Simon explained.
“Ah, I see,” you hummed. “Morocco and Maghrib is kinda far, though.”
“I believe the word Morocco came from the name of a city there called Marrakesh,” Simon said.
“Oh, that makes sense,” you commented.
Just then, both of your phones went off, alerting that it was time for iftar. After turning them off, you and Simon looked at each other.
“Let’s just wait a bit more, just in case,” Simon said.
“That’s what I’m thinking,” you said.
However, Simon still handed you a cup of tea that you both prepared earlier and held the other in his hand. After a moment or two, you both started breaking your fast.
“You know,” you said after your first sip, “if we camp, we could do this for suhoor as well.”
“You actually wanna do that?” Simon questioned.
“Only if you think it’s a good idea,” you said.
“What if I told you I brought a tent?” Simon asked.
“No way,” you scoffed before gesturing at his bike. “I know that a tent won’t fit in those bags.”
“I said what if, love,” Simon said.
In response, you playfully shoved him.
“Fine,” Simon said before he picked up a datefruit. “It’s a date, then.”
“I broke my fast, I could curse you out right now, Simon,” you pointed out.
Simon huffed out an amused air.

Why is Palestine so Important for Muslim?
1. It was the home of many Prophets & it was our first Qibla.
Palestine was the home to the Prophets Ibraham, Isaac, Yaqub, Dawud, Sulayman, Zachariah, Yahya and Isa (May Allah be pleased with them all)
2. Allah named it the "Holy land"
Allah refers to Palestine as the "Holy Land", in reference to its purity and sanctity in Islam.4
[Quran 5:21]
3. He also named it the "Blessed land"
Ibn Saadi in his Tafsir states that the area surrounding Bayt-Al Maqdis was blessed with immense trees, rivers, and fertile soil.
It was also blessed due to the virtues of Masjid Al-Aqsa over all other mosques
4. It is home to the third Holiest site
Palestine is home to the third holiest Masjid in Islam, Masjid Al-Aqsa. This Masjid was the first Qibla (direction of prayer) for the Muslims and the Prophet explicitly encouraged Muslims to visit it.
5. It was the site of the miraculous night journey
The miraculous night journey of the Prophet ﷺ took place in Palestine. Whereby he travelled from Makkah to Masjid Al Aqsa and on to Heaven in a single night.

location: near the foresty area @tempestaslokni
Nothing here made sense. A deserted island but there was running water - hot water, too, and electric power. A pseudo-hospital. And unnerving feast set out on the 'Hub. The Cruise ship looming on one side of the land (the island? He couldn't even be sure. Zaid held out a vain hope that this was connected to a mainland, that this was all a product of some strange government experiment and they'd all be found and returned home) and what looked like a dormant volcano on the other side.
And then there was that strange, old fashioned radio tower type structure, poking out from the trees.
Zaid had regained some energy, still exhausted from the day's madness, but the sun was slow to set. He hadn't bothered with the bungalows yet, except to use the facilities. Why make any claims? They were going to be found. They had to be found. He kept wandering, restless and under some impression that if he did something, then something would happen.
Zaid happened upon one thing, as he neared the trees to the north (or what he assumed was north. He'd need to find qibla direction at some point as well) - a man. A tall man, beautiful long hair neatly held in a thong. And he was heading straight into the trees. After Zaid's previous attack (so Zaid considered it, anyway) from wild horrors back at the beach's treeline, he didn't even stop to think.
He just broke into a jog, and called out. "Hey! Oi, you there!" Zaid caught up, circling around to face - and block - the other man. "Where d'you think you're even going?? That's not - are you mad? You can't just go alone in them trees, mate! It's dangerous."

Never skip your salah after this ⬇️
The importance of the salah is such that, the last words of the Prophet (ﷺ) were :
الصَّلاَةَ الصَّلاَةَ اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ فِيمَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُكُمْ
“The prayer, prayer! And fear Allah about those whom your right hands possess.”
(Sunan Abu Dawood 5156 – Al-Albani declared it sahih)
The prophet (ﷺ) also said : The first thing that the servant will be accounted for on the Day of Resurrection will be the prayer
– if that is good then the rest of the deeds will be good, and if that is corrupt then the rest of the deeds shall be likewise corrupt.
(Sheikh Al-Albaanee declared it sahih in Sahihah 1358)
Prayer holds the greatest and highest position in Islam right after the testimony of faith.
- Islam is built upon five pillars: That Allah alone is to be worshipped, to establish the prayer, to pay the Zakat, to perform the Hajj and to fast Ramadan. (Muslim 16)

Narrated Al-Bara رضی اللہ عنہ :
We prayed along with the Prophet (ﷺ) facing Jerusalem for sixteen or seventeen months. Then Allah ordered him to turn his face towards the Qibla (in Mecca):-- "And from whence-so-ever you start forth (for prayers) turn your face in the direction of (the Sacred Mosque of Mecca) Al-Masjid-ul Haram.." (2.149)
Narrated by Sahih Bukhari in his bookImam Bukhari

Masjid al-Qiblatain in Medina, Saudi Arabia, is known as “The Mosque of the Two Qiblas.” It marks the site where the Prophet Muhammad received the revelation to change the direction of prayer (Qibla) from Jerusalem to the Kaaba in Mecca. This change occurred during a prayer in 624 CE, making it significant in Islamic history. Today, it is a popular site for pilgrims visiting Medina.
The qibla sign inside Masjid al-Qiblatain (picture 3 and 4) signifies the historical shift in the direction of prayer (qibla) from Jerusalem to the Kaaba in Mecca. The mosque has markers indicating both directions: one towards Jerusalem, which was the original qibla, and another towards Mecca, the current qibla for Muslims worldwide.

Ea, Our Second Chance (11)
11. The early days
(Index)
(< 10c. Eucytobionta, biotechnology > 12. Species study: the Kurukshetran springbear)
Dawn on the dunes south of the Dagon Sea. (original link)
« If there is such a thing as a fixed and final truth beyond the kaleidoscope of phenomena, it's not any more reachable by scientists than by mystics. If you judge hypotheses by their effect upon the world, which fares better than a Hypothesis that gives us courage in the face of danger, comfort in the face of bereavement, hope in the face of uncertainty, and compassion in the face of cruelty? Is it not far more useful, and far more elegant, than any idea about recursive generative networks or cuprophyte remediation? » – Yakub of Lilongwe, Mere Humanity
« ... The old wizard adjusted his cap and sighed wearily. "Ah, my good boy," professor Kenner said, "I fear it's time to give you news, a good one and a bad one, as the ancient saying goes". Jordan steeled himself for yet another frightful revelation. "Start from the bad one," he said more curtly than he'd wished. Professor Kenner declared, as if reading from a tombstone: "The Universe cares not one whit about you." "... Is that all? What about the good one?" Kenner was quiet for a heartbeat. "The Universe cares not one whit about you," he repeated, his countenance changed into a smile behind the hoary beard. » – Jordan Weaver and the Warp of Reality, book 1, chapter 78, Didactic Edition
« Perform your task as if the life of your children depends on it – because it does. » – attributed to architect Yevgeny Kantorovich, circumstances unknown
« Luis Perez (general worker, Pod 37): The first thing we did, the first we did as a group, that first evening, was to pay respect to the dead. Those who had wasted away in their bed between the stars, all the people on the destroyed pods, the few, thank God, who had died in that landing. Solomon broadcast a Swahili prayer to all pods. I said a quick Eternal Rest. Then we went on to inflate the domes, that we could have some room to eat and sleep, and plan the next days. Those who couldn't, because their pod was upside-down, or in rocks, brought out the sealed tents. And so we slept, and we dreamed, and not a single person who was there could tell you what they dreamt, but we awoke with drenched sheets. The pod officers gave us directions for the day. We would scout the surroundings, check the inventory, plug the generators, build and charge the rovers. I saw the flagbugs, scurrying in the sand, and I'd swear they were looking at us with curiosity. What were we to them? Strange giants, fallen from the sky.
Will Maddox (security, Pod 22): I was only 19 when I signed up with the Ark. I figured myself this hardened space-marine tearing a way through tentacled monsters... They put me on guard duty outside of Pod 22, I think now that's the outskirts of Landing Point, but back then it was pure wilderness. I stood for hours in the freezing rain with a dripping coat while the people inside fixed broken pipes or dissected alien plants or whatnot. By then we already knew about scissorwolves and balloon plants – I was so damn jumpy, our torches lit up nothing but the rain, hell knows what was out there. I'd been used to taking care of myself since the flood of Miami, and I didn't mind taking care of someone else for once, but even so... Rain and darkness. I still dream about the flare lights, the cones of raindrops turning white all around. When we started exploring the forest I volunteered to guard rovers. At least I got to move my legs, you know? By day it was fun, but the night was even worse than at the pod, those red trees like rotten teeth, the screechsloths chattering right above our head all night long. I didn't feel bad when that patch of forest was burned down.
Qasem Yahya (general worker, Pod 40): I've never been very pious myself, but I did find myself interested in the debate about the qibla. Bowing toward the Solar System would have been the obvious choice – and a very romantic one, but we didn't know where that was, either. Eventually our imam declared that the Ark, floating in the sky, counted as part of Earth, and therefore its direction was the direction of Mecca. People today are astonished that we worried about such things when there was so much vital work to do. I think we suddenly had a desperate desire to feel connected with the heritage of Earth. I had never prayed with such fervor, before the voyage. I saw Jews that had never learned a word of Hebrew suddenly become very punctilious about the Shabbath, and two-days-a-year Catholics decide that crickets count as meat and can't be eaten on Friday. Of course we realized that, even if we accepted the Ark's arbitrary calendar, without our Sun and Moon there is no Shabbath, there is no Easter, and there is no Ramadan. Everything had to be redefined.
Francesca Grassi (psychologist, Pod 88): We'd come here in the greatest triumph of science and will; and we found ourselves plunged back into the stone age. Not in matters of tools or energy sources, but inwardly. The world was once again a vast and incomprehensible place, haunted by spirits and monsters. A dream. We established rituals and built hierarchies, we who had come under the insignia of rationality and solidarity, so that we could find a place for ourselves. Samirowa was our chieftain, the scientists were shamans, trying so desperately to figure out the rules of processes whose inner machinations we still don't understand; and also giving us what we lacked on Earth, a common purpose, a direction in which to walk together. It's a time of legends, and it will be a time of myths, as soon as the last Earthborn ceases to breathe. So many things we hold as normal – companion crickets, the Landing Week fast, the fear of 79 – stayed with us for no other reason than they happened in the Early Years.
Bethany Marr (general worker, Pod 58): Kids today don't believe that we could be bored, with all the dangers around us! But that's the thing, danger was too persistent, too spread out to keep our attention. I've seen people bet their rations on cricket fights... I've seen them get drunk on isopropanol and go have sex behind the algal pipes. The pods were cramped as you wouldn't believe, it's a miracle people didn't go mad more often. You know the horror stories of Pod 79. We jumped at the chance of shoveling rubble out of the rovers' way so that we could put on an exosuit and stretch our legs outside. I'd been a navigation officer on the Ark, and now I had nothing better to do than that. But sometimes, just sometimes it could be beautiful. We had a glass bottle in our pod, Pod 58 that was, filled with Ean pond water, and a lens projecting micro-images on a white sheet. We'd sit in front of it, at look at the little hairy wheels and funnels, the hourglass-shapes, the red algae going around. Sometimes we'd play music, and, would you believe it, the little things swam differently when they heard it. One of the writers of Nektonia, you know the show?, was there, and I like to think he took inspiration from it.
Robert Gautier (general physician, Pod 15): I remember receiving a radio call from Pod One... They said, There is cholera in Pod 41, can you help? Back on Earth, I was a random physician in a child hospital in Montpellier. Here, apparently, I was the world's foremost expert on diarrhoic diseases. Turns out a filter had broken in that pod's recycler, and people had been drinking each other's waste for days. It was a dreadful scene when I got there, and it was spreading in all the Landing Point complex. I think there was amoebic disentery mixed in with that. Can you imagine going to another planet, crossing interstellar space, only to die of cholera? Not even some strange alien disease – of course very few Ean pathogens have any effect at all on humans – but the same cholera that killed people in Paris in 1800. Now, diarrhoic diseases generally kill by dehydration; if you can reintegrate water and salts fast enough, they're not very dangerous. I'd seen that in Hazaristan with Médecins Sans Frontières. We had fewer people to treat now, and higher-quality tools, but less raw materials and redundancy. In the end, we lost very few.
Artyom Vasilyev (personnel manager, Pod 36): A question that came up very soon, no matter how much we had hoped it wouldn't, was how to deal with troublemakers. We were always hungry, always tired, always afraid; we had lost every connection to the greater humanity; people from every part of the world were thrown into cramped quarters and got on each other's nerves. Often someone would try to steal food from the common reserves, or hide and rest during a work turn. There were quarrels, even murders. And it was hard to find the truth, because every pod had its own cliques. What, then? We didn't have the room or resources to lock people up. Even in cases of murder, the Commander wouldn't authorize execution – we were too few to spare. Our first measure, if you fucked up, was to lock you out of the pods in an exosuit for a night, and it would be the most terrifying night of your life. If that didn't set you straight, we'd tie you to a bench and a pod-mate, picked at random, would beat you with a PVC pipe. It was only fair. That did bring back some order at least; though I think people were more afraid to give the cane strikes than to receive them.
Masami Kato (botanicist, Pod 75): That was the first time we tried growing plants outside, in open air. The winter cold was over, and we figured the high CO2 would be good for them, though we still used Earth soil. A wide trench filled, I think, with soil from Ukraine, to grow potatoes and carrots, the strains from Cordovero's labs. We kept discussing its composition, not enough microfungi, too many mites, the wrong kind of earthworms. The earthworms were just fine, actually, but we had defrosted them too recently and wouldn't dig properly yet. The first crop was a disaster, an Ean parasite had infiltrated the soil. The leaves looked crusted with ice, but it was actually all parasite growth, tiny needle-like cell capsules like ice crystals. That was our first encounter with frostblight. By some miracle, exactly one potato plant survived unharmed. Have you seen the photo of the one green sprout in the mid of the rotting field? My friend Taro Iwata took it. The gloved hand is mine.
Deniz Uyanik (machinery specialist, Pod 31): WeltraumStahl was working us to the bone so that they could win the UN contract to build the shields of the Ark. Dohrn fought like a tiger for us, back then. I think when they "offered" us our places on the Ark was just to get rid of us, the ones who made too much noise. She practically had to be dragged on the shuttle kicking and screaming. I'll say, though... it felt good when I saw the molten steel pour from the converter once again. It's not like work was easier up here – I lost several friends when we pulled up our steelworks. We had no sick days. Look at this burn on my face; I had to bandage it up and go back to work the same day. And Commander Samirowa didn't take a "no" any better than the old bosses. But we were all in there together, you know? If something went wrong, Pod One wasn't going to bug off to the Caribbeans and leave us to take the fall. We would pull through together, or we would die together.
Sunila Puri (general worker, Pod 42): I knew Hawa Jordaan, the saint, the First Mother. People pray before her image in Umojan churches, haloed in light, all in orange robes, with her belly round and flaming like the sun. They burn apple flowers on her grave in Mji wa Watoto. I remember how she was, though... back then. We met when she was drafted as nurse with me and Dr. Gautier, during the Year Two cholera. A cheerful young woman of the Namibian contingent, very excited for all the enterprise. She had no one left on Earth, like the Commander, that was their secret, of all who were the strongest in the early years. She missed only cats. Once she picked a random cricket from the feed tank and said, "You, I'm going to love you". She kept it as a pet until it got caught in an air filter. After that, she stopped eating cricket meal and went only by algae, except when they forced her to get proteins for heavy duties. What else? Uh... She wept with joy when we brewed our first coffee on Ea. We played Go together, once. I still say she cheated. »

Day 2
Disclaimer: I am not a scholar or a professional who studies religion. The points I am giving are just some snippets from the Quran which I found interesting. If you want to know more about the context, I'd suggest you to read the Quran—or maybe the tafsir (explanation) in your native language.
Juz' 2
• Further explanation about history of the qibla (direction towards Kaaba in Mecca, which is used by Muslims as the directiom of prayer for the salah).
• Allah tests and tries His servants.
• Sa'i (ritual of walking back and forth seven times between two small hills of Safa and Marwa).
• The order to eat halal things and explanation of what is prohibited and what is not.
• The order to practice qisas ("eye for an eye") and wasiat (a will before death).
• The order to practice fasting during Ramadan.
• The command to fight those who fight muslims. This is said to probably be the most misquoted verse from the Quran.
• Command to complete Hajj (pilgrimage to Mecca) and Umrah.
• Prohibition of khamr (alcoholic drink) and gambling.
• Charity and who has the rights to receive it.
• Prohibition of sexual intercourse with menstruating women.
• About divorce.
• Command that prayer should be performed properly and on time.
• Story of Prophet Shammil (Samuel) and Israelites and King Talut (Saul), and how Prophet Dawud (David) killed Jalut (Goliath).
