With the help of the compass, you can determine your qibla direction accurately and quickly. You can find out your qibla direction by applying the qibla angle of your location on the compass. Some basic issues should be known about the use of magnetic compass and the application of qibla angle to the compass.
How to use a compass?
Earth's magnetic field pulls one side of the magnetic needle of the compass to the north and the other to the south. The colored needle of the compass always points north due to the mechanics that come from the formation of the world. Other directions can easily be found on the basis of this. From here, the colored tip of the compass points north and the opposite direction points south. Thus, the left side of the compass needles points west and the right side points east.
As mentioned before, since the compass is a magnetic instrument, it is affected by metal objects around it. Any object that creates a magnetic field and contains metal can deflect the compass needle. For example, all metal objects such as computers, mobile phones, televisions, magnets, metal watches or metal accessories and devices that generate magnetic fields affect the compass. Therefore, the compass should be used away from these objects.
How can we find the direction of qibla with the help of a compass?
First of all, you need the qibla angle of your city or location to determine your direction of qibla with compass. On our site, you are given the angle of qibla with respect to true north, as well as the angle of qibla for the compass. There may be some magnetic declination between the true north (north of the map) and magnetic north (magnetic compass north) of your location. If you are going to use tools such as maps, use the angle of qibla for your location. However, if you want to find your Qibla direction using a compass, you should use the "Qibla Angle for Compass" value provided on the site.
Hold the compass in your hand parallel and flat to the ground so that the compass needle can move freely. Or place the compass parallel to the floor on goods such as a table.
The red pointer of the compass always points to magnetic north. The result of this is that the direction of the red pointer is north and your back is south. The red needle pointing to the north of the compass needle should point to the north (N) in the compass housing. To do this, turn the red compass pointer until it coincides with the north (N) in the compass housing. When the compass needle N coincides, stop and go to the next step.
Find the Qibla angle (Qibla angle for the compass) of your city in the clockwise direction from the north(N) of the compass housing. Now you can perform your prayer in the direction of Qibla angle for the compass. For example, It is 120 degrees for London (Qibla angle for the compass). Find 120 degrees from N (North) and pray in the direction indicated by Compass.
Depending on your location, the magnetic deviation may occur between true north (north of the map) and magnetic north (north on the compass). Use the Qibla angle degree if you want to find the direction of the Qibla with tools such as the map. If you want to determine the Qibla direction using the compass, use the Qibla angle for the compass. Kible.Org the website gives all cities both the Qibla angle (relative to the True North) and the Qibla angle for the Compass.
