Product Description
The Small Islamic Qibla Liquid Damped Compass is able to determine the direction of Qiblah, (or Ka'bah) in Mecca. The liquid damped compass has a compass card that moves quickly and easily around the 0-400 scale. The scale features black and gold accents and the compass face is black as well. In order to use the Qibla Compass to find the Qiblah, you must have a table of major cities with their Qibla codes to refer to (included), in addition to the compass scale. The Qibla Compass is accompanied by directions on how to use this compass and a list of major cities worldwide with a Qibla code in the range of 0 to 390 located next to each city. To determine the direction of Mecca using the Qibla Compass, you must first look up the number for your present location. Then rotate the compass so the red North end of the compass needle points to the number of your location. Mecca is found by looking at the direction in which the Minaret pointer (located at 0) on the Qibla Compass is pointing. Every few decades the numbers for the cities change, due to the changes in the earth's magnetic variation.
