This has shaken me. I thought I knew for sure Mecca is what it claims to be but there is history theories that original Qibla (and Kaba) was in Petra and not Mecca.
It has a lot to do with archaeology and what they are revealing was original Qibla of Masjids.
I don't know what do with this debate. Easy to just go with majority and say it has to be Mecca.
At the same time, it's new to me, and I don't have the time to go in depth of it.
If anyone knows both sides very well, and can bring me their conclusions having investigate both sides, it would be appreciated.
