masjid-e-qiblatain. the mosque of two qiblas (direction of prayer). the first qibla used to be masjid-e-aqsa in palestine. then one day as the prophet (peace & blessings be upon him) was leading a prayer at this mosque, the verse of the quran that told of the change of qibla to the holy kaaba was revealed. in mid-prayer, the prophet (peace & blessings be upon him) turned and faced the opposite direction.
