www.qiblalocator.com is a webpage that allows Muslims all around the world to know the exact position of La Mecca from the place they are. It’s very easy, you just scribble the address of the place you are, and a red line will show you the direction your prayers shoud take.

This is the coolest thing I’ve ever read about. I wish I had something to tell me exactly where to send my whishes, my hopes and my faith. I’ve always envied those little moments in a Muslim day during which, no matter who, they take their time to convey their faith towards someone ( or something) they can visualize wherever they are.

If our reference points are getting weaker and weaker as the time goes by, as the world shrinks, as the institutions fall apart, will a GPS save us?
