উত্তর
Imām Ibn al-Jawzī (d. 597/1201) summarized the scholars' opinions in his book "Zād al-Masīr" as follows:
- It means that Allah is there, that is to say: His knowledge is with you wherever you are. [Ibn ʿAbbās, Muqātil]
- It means the direction of prayer (qiblah) which Allah has provided. [ʿIkrimah, Mujāhid]
