(From Ibnu 'Abbas, and was narrated by Ali ibni Abu Tolib r.a. who said, "The first Rule being annulled in the Quran was of Qiblat. That happened when the Prophet s.a.w. migrated to Medina. Then the majority of the inhabitants there were the Jews. And Allah decreed that the Qiblat was towards Jerusalem. At first the Jews were pleased. But the Prohet's s.a.w heart and soul prefered facing the Qiblat of Prophet Abraham a.s. The Prophet s.a.w. and  his s.a.w. Companions r.a. were facing Jerusalem for 16 or 17 months, during which times, the Jews were mocking the Prophet s.a.w. saying, "Muhammad brought a religion different from ours, yet his Qiblat, he follows ours".  Thus, the Prophet s.a.w. entreated to Allah to have the Qiblat changed to the Masjidul Harom. After several months, this revelation came to the Prophet s.a.w. to change the Qiblat. And wherever we Muslimin be, we must face the Masjidul Harom in Solat.).
