In his speech, the Grand Mufti emphasized that the change of the Qibla was a divine response to the Prophet's wish, where Allah’s will aligned with the Prophet’s desire, affirming his esteemed status. He also warned against the dangers of rumors and their role in distorting facts and undermining societies, citing the Quranic verse: "The foolish among the people will say, 'What has turned them away from their Qibla, which they used to face?'"
