The Qibla Wall
The Prayer Wall, as it is sometimes called, is one of the most important areas of the mosque. In the photo of Magribija above, it is the wall on the right-hand side.
This wall is very specifically orientated, and that is why mosques often seem misplaced as they face a completely different direction than the other buildings on the same street. It's also why, when you view a Muslim city from the air, all mosques are pointing in the same direction regardless of the countless directions all the other buildings in the city face.
The mosque itself points towards Mecca, and if you picture the direction to Mecca as a straight line - then the Prayer Wall is the wall of the mosque that cuts across the top of it like the top of a letter 'T'. So that wall faces in the direction of Mecca

What is the part of the mosque that faces east to mecca called not the prayer hall the thing that shows you where to face plus why are we allowed no punctuation other than 1 question mark?
It is called the qiblah, and only points east in places west of Mecca. Places east of Mecca have the qiblah on the west side, south of Mecca point to the north, etc., etc. As for the punctuation question, I have no idea. I guess they don't want you to use profanity, so they limit all punctuation to a question mark.
Why do they face mecca?
The Qiblah, for any point of reference on the Earth, is the direction of the Kaaba. In Muslim religious practice, supplicants must face this direction in prayer. Muslims do not worship the Kaaba or its contents; the Kaaba is simply a focal point for prayer. If someone is inside the Kaaba, they are allowed to pray facing any direction. In ancient times, Muslims traveling abroad used an astrolabe to find the Qiblah. Peace.
