The direction of Al-Qiblah (The Holy Kaaba in Mecca) from North America, as shown by the HOLY KAABA DIRECTION FINDER, is East-South-East/South East depending on the locations of the cities.

The Index Numbers have been scientifically calculated from the latest available geophysical and geodetic data for 1980.

**Please Note: **
The above information is the reproduction from the book “HOLY KAABA DIRECTION FINDER, Index Numbers and city locations worldwide”.

***Sorry to say who so ever wrote this is misinformed and still believe the Earth is Flat like the Flat Maps they consult…:smack:

Simply Use a GPS hand held device and enter the cordinates of Mecca Mukarrama in it…

IN the USA on average the Qibla from the East Coast is North East…or 37 degrees from True North…not the Magnetic North

For Houston it 35 degrees from True North!
and on the West Coast it is North North East…or 18 degrees from True North..
