Find the Qibla with the sun (no compass)

At Zawal today (1:05 PM in Toronto) the sun is due south, so every shadow points due north. Stand facing along your shadow, then turn 55° to your right: you are facing the Qibla. The shadow method works any day; only the time of Zawal changes.

How to face the Qibla in Toronto
