Why are the hands opened toward the sky while saying prayers (dua)?
Share
The Details of the Question
Most of us look at the sky while saying prayers as if Allah is there. Where should we think Allah is when we say prayers? The Answer
Dear Brother / Sister,
Allah is free of space; therefore, no place can be thought of Him.
However, the qiblah of the prayer (salah) is the Kaaba; similarly, the qiblah of the dua (supplication) is the sky. Therefore, when we say prayers, we open our hands toward the sky.
