Abstract :
On the world, sanctuary places like mosques are required to be directed to a certain direction. This direction which Muslims faced towards, especially while they are performing prayers and other religious performances, called as qibla and besides the necessity of heading towards this directions during personal worships, mosques and masjids should be constructed showing the qibla direction. This issue is very important in order to provide the validity of the prayer. In this study, after a general overview of qibla determination methods, theoretical information on how to determine qibla direction with especially trigonometric formula and sun qibla time method were given. On the other hand, some issues to be considered not to make mistakes during qibla direction determination and some practical information which are thought to be useful during the practices were shared.
