Prayer Schedules and Qibla
Middlebury, VT
Latitude = 43deg 30min N Longitude = 73deg 20min W
Time = GMT - 5h Qibla = 58deg 52min E (From N)
The following prayer timings are calculated
according to the Islamic Society of North
America
method (fajr, ishaa) and Hanafi madhab (aasr)
It may seem counter-intuitive that you should pray in a northeast
direction (Makkah is southeast on the map!!).
Interestingly, the
shortest distance between Makkah and Middlebury is 6277 miles,
going
northwest from Middlebury, passing through Paris, France, central
Italy
and eventually and entering Makkah from the northwest.

If you stand facing the front door of Mead Chapel and turn right, you are
facing north. That is, Coffrin is at the north end of campus and
Stewart/McCullough Hall are at the south end. If you need more help, contact the
Islamic Society for a compass.
