Three ways to face the qibla from Vero Beach South

  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 56°.

  2. 2. Start from east

    Face east, then turn 34° to the left. A right angle is 90°, so 34° is about a third 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.
