He faced the same qiblah as you, but he shouldn’t have.

Al-Baraa ibn Ma’roor (ra) embraced Islam in Medina before the hijrah, when Muslims still prayed toward Masjid al-Aqsa.

He knew he could be wrong, but his deep reflection led him to pray in a different direction: toward the Ka’bah.

He visited the Prophet ﷺ and asked about it. The Prophet ﷺ reminded him to pray toward Masjid al-Aqsa, and he did so.

He passed away before the qiblah actually changed. But this story is still told as one of the two good mistakes he made.

What was his other good mistake? Watch by Dr. Omar Suleiman to learn the story of Al-Baraa ibn Ma’roor (ra): https://yqn.io/gnph
