If possible, place the table, chair etc. towards the Qiblah so that whenever you sit, you [automatically] face the Qiblah.

If you just happen to sit facing the Qiblah without intending to gain rewards, then you will not be rewarded, therefore, one should always make good intentions; for instance: (i) Gaining reward for the afterlife, (ii) following the  Sunnah, (iii) I am facing the Ka’bah in its honour and reverence. When studying Islamic books and Islamic lessons you should include this intention as well that by acting upon the Sunnah of facing the blessed Qiblah, I will receive the blessings of religious knowledge, اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ.

In many countries such as, Pakistan, India, Nepal, Bengal, C-Lanka, etc. whenever one faces the Qiblah, he also faces Madinah Munawwarah [as they fall in the same direction]. Therefore, the intention of facing Madina-tul-Munawwarah to pay respect should be included.

Baythnay ka haseen qareenah hay

Rukh udhar hay jidhar Madinah hay

Dono ‘aalam ka jo nageenah hay

Mayray Aqa ka woh Madinah hay

Roo baroo mayray Khana-e-Ka’bah

Aur afkaar mayn Madinah hay

A beautiful way to sit is that you face towards Madinah which is the jewel in both the worlds i.e. my Holy Prophet’s blessed city, Madinah. Right in front of me is Ka’bah and in my thoughts is Madinah.
