Qibla Direction!!!

[Waqar Saleem]

being civil engineering community we deal with buildings offices residences mosques etc here i need to share one common carelessness about qibla direction i have seen WC facing qibla direction which is being muslim to be taken care of. so how we can find the exact qibla direction???and also i request seniors to maintain a check where ever they are responsible for it???

Good question, anyone knows the answer?

WE ARE NOT RESPONISBLE FOR THE DIRECTION AND WC SETTING OUT...WE CONSTRUCT AND DESIGN THE BUILDING...ITS ARCHITECT RESPONSIBILITY!...I AM SURE YOU WILL NEVER FIND WC IN STRUC DRAWINGS..AND WILL NOT EVEN NOTE THAT IN ARCH DRAWINGS...

BUT YEAH YOU CAN DISUCSS WITH THEM IF YOU LIKE!...I DONT THINK A GOOD ARCHITECT (EVEN THE NON MUSLIMS WORKING IN MUSLIM COUNTRIES) BUILD A DESIGN AGAINST MUSLIM NORMS..

[Waqar Saleem]

sure it is responsibility of architect but in field engineers supervise the work !!! there are chances when such events come to their jurisdiction :-)

[WR1]

oh i c..i was thinking from design office point of view..!

SIMPLE YAR QIBLA DIRECTION IS USUALLY PLUS MINUS WHERE THE SUN SETS OR DISCOVER IT FROM LOCALS OF THAT AREA OR THIRD A PROPER AND MOST ACCURATE WAY IS THE USE OF TOTAL STATION BY SURVEYORS TO DETERMINE THE DIRECTION OF QIBLA AND FOURTH THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS THAT ARCHITECTURAL DRAWING HAVE DIRECTION INDICATOR SHOWING QIBLA DIRECTION IN PROPERLY PREPARED SUBMISSION DRAWINGS. HAVE A LOOK AT THAT

AND REMEMBER IF YOU FIND SUCH THIND DONT CHANGE THE SETTINGS OF THE PLAN ASK THE ARCHITECT RESPONSIBLE TO DO SO BECAUSE LOCATION OF FITTINGS IN THE BATHROOMS IS GIVEN DUE IMPOTANCE BY THE ARCHITECTS WHILE DESIGNING AS CIRCULATION AREA FOR INDIVIDUAL IS LIMTED SO IT HAS TO BE DESIGNED WELL AND ALOT OF OTHER REASONS.

@ jammer sir not degrees plus minus it is 90 degrees plus minus frm the location of sunset plz chek some literature about that !!! you are standing on a hill with a surveyor and a total station what wud be the degrees of direction of qibla ther?

[jammer3425]

total station ko is say farq nhn parta k hum kahan kharay hain ager sb kch khud he kerna hai toh itna mehnga t station kyun khareeda coming bak to the topic wc hill pay lagan hai ya ghar mai the question was arised from the design and direction of wc

[jammer3425]

anyway for instace if you are at a place where you dnt knw about qibla and you want to offer prayer just consider you are facing qibla and offer Allah is rehman and raheem he will accept your prayers

and if you want to construct somethng then a team of surveyors is hired which not only give you the exact property lines in which you have to construct but also give you direction of North south east and west in thier contours plans and you can ask them verbally too

surveyors play a key role in playing with dimensions especially on large mega projects where you cannot proceed your construction until you get your levels and locations checked form the consultant surveyor

[jammer3425]

and waqar please check what total station is required for and what features it got

try not to deviate from the topic i hope you are quite capable to understand that
