I really get confused with this direction name often. What direction is usually the Kaaba from England?

South East is a pretty accurate description, I would say. It certainly looks like that on a flat map.
al-Kaʿbah al-Musharrafah is on a bearing of 119 degrees from London and 120 degrees from Edinburgh. i.e. south-east.
we have had this before
and 119 ' rings a bell -
which is almost exactly S.E
And God knows it is the content of your heart rather than the accuracy of your compass that's the important thing.
Given the curvature of the Earth, your prayers would be heading straight out into space anyway.
But you pray to the ground nailit, not looking straight forward, so as long as you get the direction right there's a good chance your prayers would go underground for a bit and surface in Mecca.

Anyway, God is everywhere apparently, so I'm sure he'll know who's prayed in the correct fashion and who hasn't. He's got a list, like Santa Claus.
But if you pray to the ground your prayers would go to the core of the Earth and end up in a molten lava...IE Hell. Not a good place for prayers ;-)
I think if a Muslim believes they are praying towards Mecca, but are mistaken, they are automatically forgiven.
Imagine having to be forgiven because your geography is a little off.
What kind of god is this????
