Location Required
We need your location to accurately calculate the Qibla direction. Please allow location access.
How to Use the Qibla Finder
- Allow location access when prompted
- Hold your device flat in your hand (parallel to the ground)
- The green arrow points toward the Kaaba in Mecca
- Slowly turn your body until you're facing the same direction as the arrow
- That's the Qibla direction for your prayers
Note: The compass uses your device's magnetometer. Keep your device away from magnetic objects and metal surfaces for the most accurate readings.
About the Qibla Direction
The Qibla is the direction that Muslims face during prayer (salah). It points toward the Kaaba, a sacred building located in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. Finding the correct Qibla is an important aspect of Islamic prayer.
How Our Qibla Finder Works
Our Qibla direction finder uses your device's location and compass to calculate the shortest path to the Kaaba. The calculation is based on spherical trigonometry, taking into account the curvature of the Earth to provide an accurate direction.
For the most accurate results:
- Hold your phone flat and parallel to the ground
- Move away from large metal objects that might interfere with your device's compass
- Calibrate your device's compass periodically by moving it in a figure-8 pattern
Understanding Qibla Variations
Due to the Earth's spherical shape, the Qibla direction varies based on your location. For example:
- From North America, the Qibla is generally northeast
- From Eastern Europe and much of Asia, the Qibla is south or southwest
- From Australia, the Qibla is northwest
- From Southern Africa, the Qibla is northeast
Note: This tool requires location access to provide an accurate Qibla direction. All calculations are performed locally on your device - your location data is not stored or transmitted to any servers.
