Prophet Muhammad said: “If any one of you feels drowsy when praying, let him sleep so that (when he gets up) he knows what he is reciting.” It may be understood that the degree of drowsiness referred to in the text is that where a person is unaware and does not understand what he is saying.

Whoever prays forgetting that he does not have wudu has to repeat the prayer because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Allah does not accept any prayer if a person breaks his wudu, until he does wudu.”

The reasons behind the Qiblah change: -A test of faith for true believers (Al-Baqarah 2:143) -Establishing the Muslim Ummah’s distinct status -Aligning Muslims with the Qiblah of Prophet Ibrahim -Demonstrating submission to Allah’s divine decree
