Three ways to face the qibla from Fond du Lac

  1. 1. Phone compass

    Open a compass app, move the phone in a figure of 8 to calibrate, keep it away from metal, then turn until the compass reads 48°.

  2. 2. Start from east

    Face east, then turn 42° to the left. A right angle is 90°, so 42° is about half of a right angle.

  3. 3. The sun's shadow

    Twice a year the sun is directly above the Kaaba. At that moment the shadow of any upright object points directly away from the qibla.

Keeping the compass accurate

  • Remove magnetic cases and keep the phone away from laptops, speakers and steel frames.
  • Hold the phone flat. A compass points to magnetic north, while the degrees on this page are measured from true north, so the reading can differ slightly.
  • Compare with the direction of the rows in a nearby mosque.

Frequently asked questions

What is the qibla direction from Fond du Lac in degrees?

47.81° from true north, measured clockwise — towards the north-east.

How can I find the qibla without a compass?

What is the difference between true north and compass north?

True north points to the geographic North Pole. A compass needle points to the magnetic pole, which is in a slightly different place, so a compass reading can differ from the degrees on this page.
