Prayer is part of religion, and therefore has no basis in science or fact of any kind.
Muslims don't worship the kabba but the kabba is the direction of prayer for Muslims after Jerusalem was the direction of prayer. first Jerusalem was the direction of prayer for Muslim then a verse in the quran ordered Muslims to switch their direction of prayer from Jerusalem to the kabba.
The scientific name for a prayer plant is Maranta leuconeura.
In Islam prayers are performed in the direction of Mecca.
prayer direction for muslims
a scientific fact is called data.
A scientific fact is a fact surely constated by a great number of repeated experiments and having a theoretical explanation.
Praise be to Allaah.1 - Facing the direction of the Ka'bah1- When you stand up to pray, face the direction of the Ka'bah wherever you are, in both fard (obligatory) and naafil (supererogatory) prayers. This is one of the pillars of prayer, without which prayer is not valid.2- The obligation of facing the direction of prayer does not apply to one who is engaged in warfare, when he prays the fear prayer (salaat al-khawf) or is engaged in heavy fighting. It also does not apply to those who are unable to do it, such as one who is sick, or one who is traveling on a ship, in a car or on a plane, if they fear that the time of the prayer will elapse (before they reach a place where they can find the correct direction). And it does not apply to one who is praying a naafil prayer or Witr prayer whilst riding on a riding-animal etc., but it is mustahabb for him to face the qiblah if he is able to do so when pronouncing the takbeer of ihraam (at the beginning of the prayer), then he may face whatever direction he is facing.3- Everyone who can see the Ka'bah must face it; those who cannot see it must face its direction.Ruling on not facing the Ka'bah in prayer by mistake:4- If a person prays not facing the qiblah, because of clouds [preventing him from working out the direction from the position of the sun] or some other reason, after he did his best to work out the right direction, his prayer is valid and he does not have to repeat it.5- If someone whom he trusts comes - whilst he is praying - and tells him of the right direction, then he must hasten to turn that way, and his prayer is valid.

The Kaabah, Makkah is the direction of prayer for Muslims from anywhere throughout the world . They once faced Al-Aqsa (another holy site in Islam) Jerusalem as the direction of prayer.

On a prayer mat, compasses typically point towards the Qibla, which is the direction Muslims face when performing their prayers. The Qibla is oriented towards the Kaaba in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. Many prayer mats are designed with a decorative element that indicates this direction, helping worshippers align themselves correctly during prayer.
Prayer is the second pillar of Islam. Muslims are required to pray. Prayer also spiritually benefits Muslims. It strengthens their faith and gives them peace of mind. Muslims pray in the direction of Mecca. This direction depends on where you live.
