What is the Qibla direction in 's-Hertogenbosch?
The Qibla direction in 's-Hertogenbosch is 125.4° (south-east) measured clockwise from true north. The Kaaba in Makkah is about 4,488 km away along the shortest path.
How do I find the Qibla in 's-Hertogenbosch with a compass?
Point your compass to 125° from north. A magnetic compass reads from magnetic north, so apply the local magnetic declination, or simply use a phone compass that corrects it for you, such as the Qibla compass in Muflihin Pro.
Why does the Qibla from 's-Hertogenbosch not look straight on a flat map?
The shortest route between two points on the Earth is a great-circle arc, which looks curved on a flat map. The Qibla is the initial direction of that arc, which is why it can point in a different direction than a straight line drawn on a map.
Is the Qibla direction the same all over Netherlands?
No. The angle changes with your position, so 's-Hertogenbosch has its own bearing (125°). Other cities in Netherlands have slightly different angles, listed below.
Can I find the Qibla with the sun?
Yes, twice a year the sun is directly above the Kaaba, around 27–28 May and 15–16 July (about 12:18 and 12:27 Makkah time). At that moment the shadow of any upright object points directly away from the Qibla.
