The Options A Muslim Has When Qibla Direction Is Not Known

Kabah is the house of Allah to which Muslims all across the globe pay homage in the form of Hajj and Umrah every year. It is one of the most renowned places of the earth and holds some of the worlds greatest congregational worships. Besides congregational occasions, Kabah is also the center facing which all Muslims pray five times a day.

For all the obligatory and voluntary prayers a Muslim has to face towards Qibla. However, the problem occurs when a Muslim goes to a new place and is not aware of the direction, at that time Muslims cannot exactly locate the Qibla which makes it a little difficult for them to pray. The lines below discuss the options a Muslim can use for finding Qibla when he or she cant find one.

Compass:
The first and one of the simplest options that a Muslim can utilize for locating Qibla when at an unknown place is using a compass. The conventional compass or the ones that come built-in in the wrist watches and other personal gadget can tell you the directions. Once you know the directions and are aware of where you are situated in relation to Kabah, then you can easily locate Qibla and offer prayer.

Ask For Directions:
The most obvious solution that can work for you in locating Qibla direction is asking people for directions. Most of the people at a new place are shy of asking others about direction, thus they find it hard to locate Kabah on their own. Ergo, next time if you are in a place where you don’t have the tools to find Qibla, then the simplest option that is always available for you is to ask people about the directions. Once they tell you about the direction, then you can easily assess where your Qibla is located and offer the respective prayer.

Smartphone Apps:
For people who travel frequently, who don’t have access to compass and who are shy and don’t want to ask people about directions, the best option available for locating Qibla is to use Smartphone app like Find Qibla Direction. This app is one of the best solutions pertaining to locating Qibla and prayers. With the app you can locate your direction towards and distance to Qibla anywhere anytime. Moreover, the app also tells of the prayer timings in the different regions of the world, hence making offering of prayers easy.

Conclusion:

In short, the aforementioned options can help in locating Qibla, however if a Muslim does not have access to any of them, then he or she can pray in the direction which they think Qibla is located. Allah Almighty will accept this lapse and would give the same reward as of regular prayer because of the same intention.
