When Islam is against idol worship why do the Muslims worship and bow down to the Kaaba in their prayer?

Kaaba is the Qibla i.e. the direction Muslims face during their prayers. It is important to note that though Muslims face the Kaaba during prayers, they do not worship the Kaaba. Muslims worship and bow to none but Allah. It is mentioned in Surah Baqarah:

“We see the turning of thy face (for guidance) to the heavens: now shall We turn thee to a Qiblah that shall please thee. Turn then thy face in the direction of the Sacred Mosque: wherever ye are, turn your faces in that direction.” [Al-Qur’an 2:144]

Reason to face Kaaba and circumambulation round the Kaaba

1.It is mentioned in quran so to obey the lord of the world and to practise and follow the act of our beloved prophet (sal)

2. In order to unite

  Muslims in their worship of the One True God, Muslims, wherever they may be,are asked to face in only one direction i.e. towards the Kaaba. 

3.. Kaaba is at the Centre of the World Map

4.Tawaf around Kaaba for indicating one God

  When the Muslims go to Masjid-e-Haram in Makkah, they perform tawaf or circumambulation round the Kaaba. This act symbolizes the belief and worship of One God, since, just as every circle has one centre, so also there is only one Allah (swt) worthy of worship.

5.People stood on Kaaba and gave the adhaan

        At the time of the Prophet, people even stood on the Kaaba and gave the ‘adhaan’ or the call to prayer. One may ask those who allege that Muslims worship the Kaaba; which idol worshipper stands on the idol he worships?

                                                                 

                                                                        Islam is the best

                                                                Allah knows the best

If someone offers you congratulations on first of muharram !!!!

If someone offers you congratulations, then respond to him, but do not initiate such greetings. This is the correct view concerning greeting your loved once during special occasions . So if a person says to you, for example“Happy New Year”, then you can say, “May Allaah make it a good and blessed year for you.” But you should not initiate such a greeting, because I do not know of any report that the salaf [early generations of Islam] congratulated one another on the occasion of the new year, rather the salaf did not regard the first of Muharram as the first day of the new year until the caliphate of ‘Umar ibn al-Khattaab (may Allaah be pleased with him).

Praying for another Muslim in general terms, in phrases that are not meant as a kind of ritual on special occasions such as Eid, is acceptable, especially if what is meant by this greeting is friendship and to show a friendly face to one’s fellow Muslim. Imaam Ahmad (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: “I do not initiate the greeting but if someone greets me I return the greeting, because responding to the greeting is obligatory. But being the first to offer congratulations is neither Sunnah nor forbidden.

Hope it is clear Allah knows the best.........
