How to find the Qibla in Rawalakot

  1. Open the compass on your phone and hold it flat, away from metal and electronics.
  2. Turn until the compass reads 256.3° — that is the Qibla from Rawalakot.
  3. In simple words: face West and turn about 13.7° to the left (towards South).

Phone compasses show magnetic North, which in Pakistan differs from true North by only a few degrees — close enough for prayer. Another method: on about 28 May at 2:18 PM and 16 July at 2:27 PM (Pakistan time) the sun is directly above the Kaaba, so at that moment the Qibla is exactly towards the sun.
