IF ISLAM IS AGAINST IDOL WORSHIP, WHY DO MUSLIMS WORSHIP AND BOW DOWN IN PRAYER TO THE KAABA?



بِسْمِ اللہِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیۡمِ

IN THE NAME OF ALLAH THE MOST BENEFICENT AND MERCIFULL
اللہ کے نام سے شروع جو نہایت مہربان رحم والا
الصلواة والسلام عليک يارسول الله 
الصلواة والسلام عليک ياحبيب الله
الصلواة والسلام عليک يانبي الله
الصلواة والسلام عليک يا نور الله


O Allah! Shower blessings on Muhammad and his children whenever he is remembered by those who remember him, and shower blessings on Muhammad and family whenever he is not remembered by the negligent, and grant him peace constantly in abundance


IF ISLAM IS AGAINST IDOL WORSHIP, WHY DO MUSLIMS WORSHIP AND BOW DOWN IN PRAYER TO THE KAABA?

Answer: The Kaaba is the Qibla i.e. the direction Muslims face during their daily prayers. It is important to note that though Muslims face the Kaaba during prayers, they do not worship the Kaaba. Muslims worship and bow only to Allah. It is mentioned to the Prophet in Surah Baqarah the second chap of the Glorious Qur’aan:
“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’aan 2:144)

1. Islam believes in fostering unity For instance, if Muslims want to offer Salaah (Prayer), it is possible that some may wish to face north, while some may wish to face south. In order to unite Muslims in their worship of the One True God, Muslims, wherever they may be are told to face in only one direction only i.e. towards the Kaaba, which is in Makkah.
