Meanings (ES + gloss)
alquibla
The direction in which Muslims face while praying, currently determined as the direction of the Kaaba in Mecca.
Muslim astronomers from the 8th century onwards concerned themselves with the determination of the qibla as a problem of mathematical geography.
The other mosques' qiblas are also in the 150°'s range, except for the Andalusian Mosque which has a qibla of 148° (table 7, fig. 17).
