Finding the Qibla from Jowzjan
In Jowzjan you pray towards the south-west, at an angle of 243.0° from true north; the Kaaba is 3,021 km away. This bearing is calculated with spherical trigonometry from the coordinates of Jowzjan and those of the Kaaba (21.4225° N, 39.8262° E). Note that a compass points to magnetic north, which can differ by a few degrees from true north.
