Praying Towards the Qibla or Elsewhere

Scholars have said that praying towards the Kaaba in a dream indicates religious uprightness. Praying towards the west suggests corrupt beliefs and audacity in committing sins, while praying towards the east indicates innovation and engaging in falsehood. If one prays with their back to the Qibla, this expresses turning away from Islam by committing major sins.
