Kaaba is at centre of the world: need explanation

Asalaamualaikum

yep i heard Dr Zakir Naik say this too
dr zakir naik said:
The Muslims were the first people to draw the map of the world. They drew the map with the south facing upwards and north downwards. The Ka’abah was at the centre. Later, western cartographers drew the map upside down with the north facing upwards and south downwards. Yet, Alhamdullilah the Ka’abah is yet at the centre of the world map.

It was said that jeruslem was the centre of the world...even when in prophet mohammeds (peace be upon him) vison he was taken to jereuslem and then asscended upwards to heaven...

allah knows where the true centre is..

How can the world have a centre on the surface? It's a sphere!

That's not true, the Greeks drew at least part of the world map, and probably plenty of people before them did too.

And the centre of most Western world maps is somewhere off the coast of west Africa.

this is a hypothesis: if you consider kaba as center of the world, and the fact that earth rotates on its Center (Axis) and on the doomsday (Qayama) Kaba will be lifted to heavens!! above situation can be created. Allah knows the best!
What do u ppl say??? :?
 
i have to say that islam is the fastest growing religion now. maybe someday that will make ka'bah is the center of the world (philosophycally).

The rocks of the Kaaba are also not the oldest on Earth. They are somewhere in Greenland. The basalt of the Kaaba is actually quite young.

But it is true that as far as we know, Makkah has always been above sea level. See here for a source.

Without wanting to change the topic of this thread, i would like to know to which direction should face a muslim located at diametraly opposed side of earth?
