Want to find out the direction of the Qibla [the direction of the Holy Ka aba - the house of Allah - toward which Muslims turn to offer their five daily prayers] on your own? You can.
On Thursday, May 27, Muslims around the world can determine the direction of the Qibla simply by facing the sun as it passes over Islam s holiest mosque, the Masjidul Haram, in Makkah.
