QiblaFind
Find the Qibla direction
Find the Qibla from your location or a city search. Use the live compass on supported phones, or read the bearing from true north.
Why we ask for location & motion access: We calculate the Qibla direction in your browser and keep motion readings there. Coordinates are sent to our server to look up the city.
Your compass needs calibrating
Calibrating your compass
If the needle seems off, try these quick fixes.
Move away from metal
Phone cases, laptops, and metal furniture can interfere with your magnetometer.
Move your phone in a figure-8
This recalibrates most phones' internal compass sensor.
Rotate through all axes
Slowly tilt and rotate your phone in the air a few times.
How it works
Share your location
Enable the compass and allow location access, or search for your city. We calculate the bearing to the Kaaba from those coordinates.
Allow motion access
Allow compass access if prompted, then wait for calibration to finish. Devices without a supported sensor show a bearing instead of a live heading.
Face the needle
With a live compass, turn until the Qibla marker points up. For a bearing-only result, measure the displayed angle clockwise from true north.
Get prayer time reminders
Enable free browser notifications for Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, or Isha prayer times.
Qibla Finder FAQ
What is the Qibla?
The Qibla is the direction Muslims face during prayer (Salah), pointing toward the Kaaba in Makkah, Saudi Arabia.
How is the Qibla direction calculated?
We calculate the great-circle bearing between your GPS coordinates and the Kaaba's coordinates (21.4225°N, 39.8262°E) using standard spherical trigonometry.
Does this use true north or magnetic north?
The compass corrects for magnetic declination where possible, so the reading points to true Qibla bearing, not raw magnetic north.
Does the Qibla Finder work offline?
Once loaded, the compass works without an internet connection as long as your device already has your last known location.
