Qibla
_____________________________________________________
The Qibla (Arabic: "direction"), also transliterated as Qiblah, Kiblah, Kible or Kibla, is the direction that should be faced when a Muslim prays during salah. It is fixed as the direction of the Kaaba in Mecca. Most mosques contain a wall niche, known as mihrab, that indicates the Qiblah.
