Abstract

Kaaba known as Qibla and the focus point of Muslim people is of paramountimportance. Many scientists in the field of mathematics, astronomy and geographythroughout the Islamic world tried to find the exact methods and procedures todetermine the direction of Qibla. One of these methods is HINDI CIRCLE used to determineQibla of mosques. Most often the scientists, scholars and astronomers gathered at the timeof a mosque construction and determined the mosque orientation by means of drawingHindi circle. HINDI CIRCLE is based on the sun movement and the resulted data of thehoroscope. To better determination of the issue and sufficient knowledge of HINDI CIRCLEmethod, ISFAHAN JAME MOSQUE among Iranian-Islamic mosques have been chosen to bestudied. Following investigations on the DEVIATION ANGLE OF QIBLA in these mosques, ithas been found that the orientation of the mentioned mosques does not comply with thereal direction of Qibla and there is a deviation angle. The question here is that how thisdeviation is made in spite of the progresses Muslims made in determining Qibla. Did themethods of DETERMINING QIBLA DIRECTION such as HINDI CIRCLE have low accuracy? In orderto answer this question HINDI CIRCLE method was analyzed based on the coordinates andnew and old data. Concerning the studies of some HOROSCOPEs and manuscripts, it wasconcluded that the coordinates and data are not the same in different periods and this isthe main reason of deviation from the actual direction of Qibla. In addition more accurateresults can be obtained if the HINDI CIRCLE method is used at certain times of the year.
