Verses 106-107 VERSE NO. 107

      Here again argument is about the JEWISH propagandas against Islam. They were saying to Muslims: ``The true religion is that which the Jews hold, and the right QIBLA, is only that direction to which your prophet used to stand in prayer (i.e. JERUSALEM.)''

      When according to the verse: 2:144, Muslims changed their QIBLA from JERUSALEM to KAABA in MECCA, the Jews got a new pretext for objection and criticism. They reasoned: ``If the first QIBLA was right, then the second one which is KAABA must be wrong, and if the second QIBLA is right, then all your prayers done towards JERUSALEM, must have been nullified and rendered of no value!''

      Here through this verse the flimsy reasons and hollow pretexts are answered saying: ``Whatever of verses we abrogate or cause to be forgotten, We bring a better than that or similar. Don't you know that Allah HAS power over all things?''

      God's message from age to age is always the same, but its form may differ according to the needs and exigencies of the times. Therefore it is absurd to treat such verses as 2:115 as if it was abrogated by the verse 2:144, about QIBLA. One has to know that QURÄNIC revelations have been sent down in progrssive mode. We do turn in our prayers from Jerusalem towards, KAABA, but we never believe that God is only in one place. To any direction we turn we confront with the face of God, which of course cannot be seen with physical eyes. He is everywhere and nowhere!
