quick story

we bout our house but with ribba,intres..May ALLAH (SWA) forgive my father and all of us.Ameen

ok we Prayed in the oppisite dirction of the Kabah for as long as we were paying intrest

amazingly right after my Parents finished paying off the house,Alhamdulilah my Father did all he can to pay as fast as he can,only took him 5-6 years i believe

anywho when they came back they realized we were Praying the wrong direction! the whole 5-6 years

so Alahmdulilah we realized when my Parenst stopped paying intrest..hopefully that was a sign that my Parents were forgiven

prayer mats WITHOUT compass..its so annoying having the thing bulging atthe middle of the mat while praying.
U just need the compass once anyway,unless u're always praying in journeys.

well..i know that...but..oh well.. i guess having masjeeds/musalla/jamaat khanna every 2-3km make you take things for granted.

my family just normally carry around an individual Kiblah compass.

mine is without, my older brother has one that's attached

I dont even have one, I find prayer mats on the whole annoying...
