I’ve been working on a scifi fantasy story idea about pagans on Mars for years. I love the idea of a colonized mars, and pagans with a mars centric religion
I like that idea. A similar thing I’ve wondered is about Muslims on another planet. They are supposed to face Mecca when they pray. Which direction does a Muslim on Mars (or even the moon) face?
So, Muslims on the ISS need to face earth when not possible to determine the location of, or if moving too quickly to reasonably face, mecca. On the moon or another planet, it would presumably be the same. They face earth

I know this one!

Would that mean they might have to lie on their backs?
Somehow I don’t think so… Lol
