This article introduces and examines the treatise al-Ḥātimiyya by Mullā Muẓaffar Gunābādī. The treatise consists of an introduction and five chapters. In the introduction, the author presents a set of definitions divided into two groups: geometrical definitions and astronomical definitions. In the first chapter, eight methods for determining the meridian line are described. In the subsequent chapters, four general methods for determining the direction of the qibla are presented. In these methods, the author considers differences in the geographical longitude and latitude of locations as well as various observational and measurement conditions, and provides a specific practical procedure for each case. The article also discusses some of the author’s scholarly characteristics on the basis of internal evidence from the treatise.
