Maize Today’s time, the sun will be straight upKaaba , - Because of this
no shade Around Kaaba, let Muslims across the world investigate themPrayer direction , - This phenomenon occurs twice a year due to the inclination of the Earth and the location of the corn.
Twice a year, lines upwards over the sun caba, no shade. Today is the second and last time this year. Local time at 12:27, the sun will be just above the Kaaba, which will make all the shadows disappear. This moment is important because it helps Muslims to examine the exact direction during prayer, which is called cubala.This phenomenon occurs due to how the Earth bends around the Sun and how it goes. As soon as the sun moves to the south with cancer tropics, it aligns with the latitude of the corn. When this happens, the sun reaches its highest point in the sky in the city, about 89.5 degrees above the horizon. The vertical objects will not shade during this time.
What is Solar genith Above the Kaaba?
Solar Genith occurs when the sun sits directly overhead at a specific place. For maize, it occurs twice a year. It is connected to the Earth’s 23.5 degree tilt and 21.4 degree north latitudes to the condition of corn.When the Sun collides with this point, it rises completely up that the caba and the nearby poles do not put any shadow, vertical objects. This is not just a clean -cruel trick, it is practical. Muslims can use this time to easily confirm the cubbla direction.
When did this happen earlier?
This year, the first solar Genith on Kaaba was on May 28, 2025. The next one will be on 16 July 2026. Therefore, today’s incident is the last chance of this year to see this alignment.
How can you look or use this phenomenon?
Today, at 12:27 pm maize time (9:27 pm GMT), the sun will be straight up. If you want to check the direction of your prayer at home, find a linen outdoor spot. Keep a stick or any straight item straight on the flat ground. When the sun reaches this point, the stick will not put any shade.The shadow that appears exactly before or after the exact time is completely away from the maize. It is that you can find cubes from anywhere with sunlight.
Why is this thing?
This phenomenon is not just for astronomers. This is a natural way to confirm the direction of prayer without the need of a compass or phone. It connects Muslims around the world to a simple, direct way.
questions to ask
- Question: Why does the sun align on the Kaaba only twice a year?
A: Due to the inclination and orbit of the Earth, the sun passes the latitude of corn only twice annually, usually in the middle of May and mid -July.
- Question: Can I see it out of corn?
A: Until you are in maize, you will not see the sun directly overhead, but you can use the shadow method anywhere with sunlight.
- Question: What if this is a cloud?
A: You will not be able to see the shadow clearly if the sun is blocked by clouds. Try again next year or rely on other methods to find cubes.
