Islamic Shari'ah is universal, all its injunctions are based on comfort, easinessand openness, instead of deep philosophical and mathematical delicacies. This isonly because of the fact that the jurisdictions of the "Islamic Shari'ah" are thesea and land , the black and red including all residents of these regions.Furthermore, if the obligations of Islam e.g.," "الصلوۃand " "الصومetc, areobligatory for the "residents"of cities and other educated people, exactly in thesame way these are for the inhabitants of villages, islands and the ignorantindividuals too. Subsequent upon this, it is very much desired by reason,wisdom and special blessing of Allah (S.W.T) that the "Shari Ahkam" which areso common, the same should not be made dependent on mathematical delicaciesand astronomical instruments. So that all and sundry may perform theirobligations easily and with full satisfactionThe ambiguities raised by Allama Inayatullah Al-Mashriqi and some AryanHindu,s authors regarding the under reference topic named "Delima of thefixation (Determination) of Qibla" shall thoroughly be discussed. This paper willargue and let those facts go through the researching and inductive stages toexplore the valuable realities. Efforts would be exerted to arrive at theconclusion that in the Delima of Fixation (Determination) of "Qiblah" all ofour religious forefathers (predecessors) e.g. ""تابعین" ,"صحابہand " "تبع تابعینshall be strictly followed. It means, that we must fix (determine) the "Qibla'h's"position (direction) on account of only estimation ( ) تقلید و تحریthrough thesignificant signs of the natural phenomenon (i.e) the rising and setting of theSun, the Moon, besides identification of some of the stars; and not through theman made, scientific and mythological hypothesis.
