Qiblah Directions **

Most people use compass to determine the Qiblah direction. The compass points to magnetic north. The magnetic north varies from city to city and varies with time as well, and therefore magnetic north can not be used to fix Qiblah directions for mosques. The computation of Qiblah is done by using the Geographical North. which is determined using a little booklet giving a list of cities and a number for each city.

The booklets have clear instructions on how to find the Qiblah. If you can't find a number for Peterborough, then you can use the number for the closest city (Toronto)

Please note that the compass can be influenced by metallic objects around you (e.g. furniture); so try to place it in different places and make sure it points to the same direction, otherwise try removing any metallic objects from the room until you get accurate results.

TMSA has two compasses which can be borrowed by students. If you wish to book a compass please send an email to trent_msa@yahoo.ca

And for those who fear Allah, he (ever) prepares a way out,and He provides for him from (sources) he never could imagine. And if any one puts his trust in Allah, sufficient is ((Allah)) for him. For Allah will surely accomplish his purpose: verily, for all things has Allah appointed a due proportion.
