  • Abstract
    This paper provides an alternative of improvised formula for determining qibla direction using vector algebra. The proposed method using vector algebra formula are given in details was compared with the existing method using spherical trigonometry. Then, result shows that the proposed method is accurate and easy to understand because does not require high mathematical knowledge.
