Qibla direction in Montserrat
The Qibla in Montserrat lies towards the north-east. Depending on the city the angle from true north ranges from 66.0° in Saint Petersburg to 66.0° in Plymouth, and the Kaaba is between 10,521 km and 10,524 km away. The table gives the exact bearing for 2 cities.
Stand facing true north, then turn clockwise by the angle of your city. A phone compass shows magnetic north, which in Montserrat 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°. Saint Petersburg is the closest to the Kaaba (10,521 km) and Plymouth the farthest (10,524 km). The farther apart two cities are, the more their bearings to Makkah diverge, which is why the angle of the capital, 66.0°, 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.
