And there is a luminous star between the Spike (al-Sunbula) and the Daughters of the Bier (Banat Na'sh); it rises from the rising point of Capella.
When the Vega (al-Nasr al-Waqi') has risen slightly from its rising point, and you place it behind the nape of your neck, you are facing the Qibla, facing the House. When the two Eagles—the Altair (al-Nasr al-Ta'ir) and the Vega (al-Nasr al-Waqi')—reach the zenith of the sky, the Qibla of this region is between them, then they incline to the right toward the west.
I have tested this, explored it deeply, known it, observed it, and verified it in Mecca and elsewhere, and Allah is the Grantor of success.
As for the Qibla of Kufa and its surrounding regions, it is close to the Qibla of Basra, but they place the North Star (al-Jadi) behind their napes and strive toward the face of the Kaaba.
As for the Qibla of the people of Medina, it is the water spout (al-Mizab) and the Hijr.
As for the Qibla of the people of the Levant (al-Sham), it is between the water spout (al-Mizab) and the Syrian Corner, which is on your right when you face the door of the Kaaba.
As for the Qibla of the people of Egypt and its surrounding areas which lie toward the west, it is between the water spout (al-Mizab) and the Western Corner.
As for the Qibla of the people of Yemen, it is between the Black Stone and the Yemeni Corner, and they place Canopus (Suhayl) behind their napes when it rises.
As for the Qibla of those who are between the two sunsets—the winter sunset and the summer sunset—it is the Western Corner.
As for the Qibla of those who are between the two sunrises—the winter sunrise and the summer sunrise—it is the Black Stone.
As for the back of the Kaaba, and what is between the Western Corner and the Yemeni Corner, behind that is the sea [605] and the lands of the Sudan; if there are any of the Bedouin, the Sudanese, or others there, then that is their Qibla.
