Al Qibla (Arabic: Direction of Mecca) was the official gazette of the Kingdom of Hejaz. The paper was backed by the British. It was in circulation between 1916 and 1924 and headquartered in Mecca. The paper was a four-page broadsheet and published twice a week, on Mondays and on Thursdays.
The slogan of Al Qibla was the following verse taken from Quran:
And We did not make the qibla which you used to face except that We might make evident who would follow the Messenger from those who would turn on their heels.
