Why is the Qibla direction important?
Facing the Qibla is one of the essential conditions for the validity of salah (prayer) in Islam. The Quran explicitly instructs Muslims to turn their faces toward the Sacred Mosque (Masjid al-Haram) wherever they are (Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:144). This unifying act means that over 1.8 billion Muslims around the world all face the same point when they pray, creating a powerful sense of spiritual unity. Beyond the five daily prayers, the Qibla direction is also observed when reciting the Quran, making dua (supplication), during the ritual slaughter of animals, and when burying the deceased.
Methods to find Qibla in practice
There are several practical ways to determine the Qibla direction in Am Timan. The most accurate is using a digital tool like Praay.org, which calculates 58.5° using the great-circle formula. A physical compass gives reliable results when properly calibrated — simply align the compass with north and rotate to the correct bearing. Smartphone compass apps work similarly and often include automatic magnetic declination correction. The sun can also help: twice a year, the sun passes directly overhead the Kaaba, and at that moment any shadow points exactly away from Qibla. Additionally, many hotels in Muslim-majority countries place Qibla direction stickers in their rooms.
Historical background of the Qibla
The concept of a prayer direction is deeply rooted in Abrahamic tradition. Early Muslims initially prayed towards Jerusalem (Bayt al-Maqdis) for approximately 16 months after the Hijra. The change of Qibla to the Kaaba in Mecca occurred around 624 CE, as recorded in Surah Al-Baqarah (2:142-150). This momentous event is known as the Tahwil al-Qibla and holds great theological significance. The Kaaba itself is believed to have been originally built by Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) and his son Ismail as the first house of worship dedicated to the One God. Today, the Kaaba stands in the center of Masjid al-Haram, the largest mosque in the world, which can accommodate over two million worshippers.
How geography affects Qibla from Am Timan
The Qibla bearing from Am Timan is influenced by its geographical position at latitude 11.03°. Cities at the same longitude but different latitudes will have different Qibla directions because the great-circle path curves differently. The distance of approximately 2,381 km to Mecca means the direction is roughly NE. Interestingly, following the Qibla bearing on a great-circle path from your location would take you directly to the Kaaba along the shortest surface route — the same route an airplane would fly.
La direction de la Qibla varie en fonction de votre position géographique. Praay.org calcule la direction précise vers la Kaaba pour plus de 151,725 villes dans le monde en utilisant la méthode orthodromique, qui donne la distance la plus courte à la surface de la Terre.
The Qibla direction varies dramatically across the globe. From Western Europe, it is southeast (around 120°–150°). From North America, it is northeast (around 50°–60°). From Southeast Asia and Australia, it is northwest (around 290°–320°). From sub-Saharan Africa, it is generally north to northeast. These large variations are a direct result of Earth's spherical geometry and demonstrate why using a precise calculation rather than a rough estimate is important.
Praay.org uses standard spherical trigonometry to compute the initial bearing from any point on Earth to the Kaaba's exact GPS coordinates (21.4225°N, 39.8262°E). This calculation is accurate to a fraction of a degree, far exceeding the practical accuracy of any compass. City coordinates are sourced from verified geographical databases, ensuring reliable results for every location. Whether you are at home, traveling, or moving to a new city, you can always find your precise Qibla direction here.
