	Qibla
		The qibla is always directed towards the Ka'ba of Mecca, but for 1,5 years in early Islam, the qibla was Jerusalem (from 622 to 624).
		On this point, three opinions exist in the Sunna: Jerusalem was the qibla; Ka'ba was the qibla; and the qibla was on a line, the one running from Jerusalem to Ka'ba.
		The qibla is thus important, and it is believed that directing things towards the qibla will determine whether an act performed is useful or useless.

	Qibla - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Qibla (قبلة) is an Arabic word for the direction that should be faced when a Muslim prays.
		At one point the direction of the qibla was toward Bayt al-Maqdis, Jerusalem (and it is therefore called the First of the Two Qiblas), however, this only lasted for seventeen months, after which the qibla became oriented towards the Kaaba in Mecca.
		These Muslims claim that the only correct way of determining the true qibla from a place is drawing a line from that place to Mecca in a Mercator projection map and that the fact that this line is not the shortest possible line has no relevance whatsoever to the matter.

	Is it the real thing? \| The Guardian \| Guardian Unlimited
		The Qibla Cola Company's founder, Derby business woman Zahida Parveen, said she designed the drink to provide an ethical alternative for Muslims.
		Qibla was named as the worst cola by five tasters (a few of whom wanted to name it as their favourite), followed by Sainsbury's (four votes), Pepsi (three) and Coke (two).
		But generally the tasters could not tell a huge difference between any of the brands, and you have to assume that many of Qibla's future customers they will have more on their minds than their taste buds when they go buying Muslim cola.

		According to the Qur'an, the direction of prayer (the Qibla), was canonized (or finalized) towards Mecca for all Muslims in or around 624 AD (see Sura 2:144, 149-150).
		We find further corroboration for this direction of prayer by the Christian writer and traveler Jacob of Edessa, who, writing as late as 705 AD was a contemporary eye-witness in Egypt.

	Frank's Case Book
		The classical definition of the qibla is the ``direction such that when a human observer faces it, it is as if he is looking at the diameter of the Earth passing through the Kaaba.'' Traditionally, the entrances of mosques also face toward Mecca.
		When the Islamic Center was built on Massachusetts Avenue in Washington, DC in 1953, the Egyptian Ambassador was concerned because the center faced 56 degrees, substantially north of east.
		The real irony is that conventional notions of direction that lead Nachef and Kadi to believe that the qibla from North America lies to the southeast is based on a particular map projection by the Flemish cartographer Gerhardus Mercator.
