24.8608° N · 67.0011° E — this is a default city; set your own location for your exact direction.

Face 268° clockwise from true north. Phone compasses can drift — keep the phone flat, away from metal and magnets, and move it in a figure-eight to calibrate.

How it works

  1. Share or enter a location. GPS, city search or manual coordinates — everything runs in your browser.
  2. We compute the great-circle bearing from your coordinates to the Kaaba in Makkah, plus the straight-line surface distance.
  3. Face the bearing. Use the compass dial or the map line; on a phone with a sensor, the dedicated compass page turns live.

Featured guides

How Qibla direction is calculated

The Qibla is the initial bearing of the shortest path over the Earth's surface — the great circle — from your position to the Kaaba. We explain the maths in plain language, including why a flat map can be misleading.

Finding Qibla without a phone

For centuries the Qibla was found from the sun and stars. On two days a year the sun stands directly above the Kaaba, and there are simple shadow methods you can use any sunny day.

Why prayer times change every day

Prayer times follow the sun: dawn and dusk angles, solar noon and shadow lengths. That is why they shift daily, differ between cities, and why calculation methods disagree by a few minutes.

Full guide articles arrive with the content phase; the methodology notes on every tool page already explain how each calculation works.

Frequently asked questions

How do I find the Qibla direction from my location?

Tap “Use My Location” and allow location access, or search for your city. The tool calculates the bearing to the Kaaba from your coordinates and shows it as a needle on the compass dial, in degrees from true north, together with the distance to Makkah.

How accurate is this Qibla finder?

The bearing is the exact initial great-circle direction to the Kaaba (21.4225° N, 39.8262° E) for the coordinates you provide. Accuracy then depends on your location accuracy and, on phones, on compass calibration — keep the phone flat and away from metal for the best reading.

Can I use it without allowing location access?

Yes. Deny the permission and use city search or type your latitude and longitude manually. The direction checker page is designed for exactly that — no GPS or sensor needed.

Why does my phone compass point slightly differently?

Phone compasses sense magnetic north, can drift, and are disturbed by metal objects, magnetic cases, cars and reinforced concrete. Calibrate by moving the phone in a figure-eight, and cross-check with the map line, which does not depend on any sensor.

Is my location stored or shared?

No. Your coordinates are used only inside your browser to run the calculations. Nothing about your precise location is sent to a server or to analytics. The only thing saved is the place you picked, in your own browser's local storage, so the tools remember it next visit.
