Qeblah, or Qiblah is an arabic word for the direction a muslim must face when praying. In other words, Mecca. A muslim must always pray facing Mecca. You can find this sign everywhere, in any hotel room, any public area....even in aircraft!!! When I came here in March, I flew Saudi Airlines from Rome to Saudi and, in the back of the plane, they have a designated 'prayer room', which includes a screen that displays the direction of Meca all the time, regardless of the position of the aircraft!!Saturday, June 6, 2009
