What is the Qibla?
The Qibla is the direction that Muslims face during their daily prayers (Salah). It points towards the Kaaba, located in the Sacred Mosque (Masjid al-Haram) in Makkah, Saudi Arabia, at coordinates 21.4225°N, 39.8262°E.
How is the Qibla direction calculated?
This tool uses the great circle bearing formula, which calculates the initial bearing of the shortest path between two points on a sphere. The formula accounts for the curvature of the Earth, giving the most accurate direction. The bearing is measured clockwise from true North (0°).
Great Circle vs Rhumb Line
A great circle is the shortest distance between two points on a sphere and is the method used by this tool. A rhumb line (loxodrome) maintains a constant compass bearing and appears as a straight line on a Mercator projection, but is actually a longer path. For Qibla direction, the great circle method is the standard approach used by Islamic scholars and most Qibla applications worldwide.
Device Compass
On supported mobile devices, this tool can use the built-in compass (magnetometer) to rotate the compass rose in real time, so the Qibla arrow physically points in the correct direction. For best results, hold your device flat and away from magnetic interference. Calibrate by moving your phone in a figure-8 pattern.
