According to the story, the sacred stone was not a tomb or a place to meditate, but only a place to stop for prayer.

Referring to this story, tests were then carried out on the sacred stones.

The aim is to answer the question, is the sacred stone used as a place of prayer because its direction is towards the Qibla?

Using the help of the Google Maps application on the internet, it turned out that the location of the Kaaba was deviated by around 45 degrees from the position of the sacred stone.

After further testing, it turned out that the position of the sacred stone was more inclined towards the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

As is known, the Al-Aqsa Mosque was the first Qibla before it was moved to the Kaaba.

Those of you who are curious and want to see the sacred stone for yourself, can come directly to Keramat Beach.
