Share No human on earth can draw a straight line on the surface of the earth between two far cities except with the aid of detailed maps, made possible today due to airplanes, satellites, and knowledge of altitude, longitude, and land height.
However, there was a person who had done this 1400 years ago. This person is Prophet Mohammed (saw).
Until there came the help of Allah (SWT) and victory, and people were entering Allah's religion (The way of Islam) in crowds. From then on, Islam was spreading and the people of Yemen become Muslims.
Then, Prophet Mohammed (saw) started to send the teachers to these people to teach them Islam. He (saw) sent Imam Ali ibn Abu Talib to Hamdan, Muath ibn Jabel to Janad. One of them Wabr ibn Yuhanas Al-Khozaee (May Allah be pleased with Him) whom Prophet Mohammed (saw) sent to Sana'a, in Yemen.
Wabr ibn Yuhanas al-Khozaee (May Allah be pleased with Him) was a companion who Prophet Mohammed (saw) sent as a protector over (Sana'a, in Yemen). He (saw) was ordered to teach people of Sana'a and to build them a Mosque by features Prophet Mohammed (saw) had defined to him.
Al-Tabarani narrates in the Al-Mu'jam Al-Aswat saying: Wabr ibn Yuhanas Al-Khozaee (May Allah be pleased with Him) relates that Prophet Mohammed (saw) said to me, "If you build the Mosque of Sana'a, make it to the right of Jabal Deyn (Deyn Mountain)."
Prophet Mohammed (saw),1400 years age, ordered to build the mosque Sana'a facing Jabal Deyn (Deyn Mountain). If we use Google Earth today and draw a straight line from the mosque Sana'a to the Qibla (direction of prayer) which is in Makkah, it will pass through the peak of Jabal Deyn (Deyn Mountain) and will end at the center of Holy Kaabah (Kaaba).
I swear by the star when it goes down. Your companion does not err, nor does he go astray; Nor does he speak out of desire. It is naught but revelation that is revealed. Glorious Qur'an (53:1-4)
How could someone 1400 years ago have shown the exact direction for Holy Kaabah (Kaaba) from a far away city without using the modern aids needed for such a process?
SubhanAllah (Glory be to Allah)! Of course this is a miracle!
We will soon show them Our signs in the universe and in their own souls, until it will become quite clear to them that it is the truth. Is it not sufficient as regards your Lord that He is a witness over all things? Glorious Qur'an (41:53)
