Qibla Pointer – Acrylic

Al-Furqaan Foundation introduces the new acrylic Qibla pointer. Help the guests in your hotel, home or place of business orient themselves towards the Ka’bah in Mecca, Saudi Arabia for the five daily prayers. Not only will the pointer serve the purpose of showing what direction to face, but it will also have a symbolic impact showing that Muslims from around the world are welcome to stay and pray.

Dawah approach
Qibla Pointers are common throughout the Arab world, our aim is to make them common in the United States as well. It’s a form of dawah that shows no matter where a Muslim is, he/she will be unified with the rest of the Muslim world when facing Mecca to pray.

How to position the pointer
It’s important to keep in mind that there is space available for people to pray wherever the pointer will be. It isn’t recommended to put the pointer on a desk or within a drawer, because it wouldn’t be easily spotted and would get covered by one’s belongings. The best spot to apply the pointer is on the ceiling directly above the floor space available for prayer.
