01

Location stays here

The browser provides coordinates only after permission. The calculation runs locally and nothing is saved to your account or sent to a Qibla API.

02

Great-circle bearing

The tool calculates the initial great-circle direction from your position to the Kaaba reference coordinate, 21.4225° N, 39.8262° E.

03

Compass is optional

A supported phone can rotate the arrow using a north-referenced orientation sensor. If the sensor is unavailable, the numeric true-north bearing still works.

Before relying on a phone compass

Calibrate, step away from interference, and verify if uncertain.

Move the phone in a figure-eight, remove magnetic cases, keep away from metal and electronics, and hold it flat. Browser sensors vary. When the direction seems doubtful, use the displayed true-north bearing and confirm with a trusted local mosque or known Qibla marker.

Common questions

Questions people ask.

How is the Qibla direction calculated?

The tool calculates the initial great-circle direction from your position to the Kaaba reference coordinate, 21.4225° N, 39.8262° E, and shows it as a bearing from true north.

Does this Qibla finder send my location anywhere?

No. Your browser provides coordinates only after you give permission, the calculation runs locally on your device, and nothing is saved to your account or sent to a Qibla API, map service, or location log.

How do I use the live compass?

Press “Use my location”, then hold the phone flat and turn slowly. The compass tracks you live and tells you which way to turn; when you are facing the Qibla it asks you to hold still for five seconds and then confirms the direction.

Why is my phone compass inaccurate?

Move the phone in a figure-eight to calibrate, remove magnetic cases, keep away from metal and electronics, and hold it flat. Browser sensors vary between devices.

What if my phone has no compass sensor?

The numeric true-north bearing still works. If the direction ever seems doubtful, use that bearing and confirm with a trusted local mosque or a known Qibla marker.
