Qibla Compass
The Qibla is the direction that should be faced when a Muslim prays. It is fixed
as the direction of the Kaaba a cubical building in Mecca and one of the most
sacred places in the Islamic faith.
Most mosques contain a wall niche, known as mihrab, that indicates the
Qiblah. Most multifaith prayer rooms will also contain a Qiblah, although
usually less standardised in appearance than one would find within a mosque.
Muslims all praying towards the same point is traditionally considered to
symbolise the unity of all Muslims, worldwide under the Law of God. Muslims
when travelling, will carry a Qiblah compass like this one, so that they will
know in which direction to face when praying.
