Information About

Compass (religion)




While the compass, like any other compass, points North , the direction of prayer is indicated by marks on the perimeter of the dial, corresponding to different cities, or by a second pointer set by the user according to their own location.

Ornate qibla compasses date back at least to the 18th century. Some modern versions use Digital readout instead of a magnetic pointer.
