Qibla direction in Anguilla
The Qibla in Anguilla lies towards the north-east. Depending on the city the angle from true north ranges from 65.6° in West End Village to 65.6° in East End Village, and the Kaaba is between 10,531 km and 10,548 km away. The table gives the exact bearing for 14 cities.
Stand facing true north, then turn clockwise by the angle of your city. A phone compass shows magnetic north, which in Anguilla can differ from true north by a few degrees; our Qibla finder corrects this automatically when your phone reports true heading.
Why the Qibla changes across the country
Between the cities in the table the Qibla angle varies by 0.0°. Island Harbour is the closest to the Kaaba (10,531 km) and West End Village the farthest (10,548 km). The farther apart two cities are, the more their bearings to Makkah diverge, which is why the angle of the capital, 65.6°, should not be used everywhere.
Inside a mosque, the mihrab already shows the Qibla. Elsewhere, a compass app, the position of the sun or our Qibla finder can be used; scholars agree that facing the general direction is enough when the exact angle cannot be known.
