Frequently Asked Questions

The Qibla is the direction Muslims face during prayer (Salah), pointing toward the Kaaba in Makkah, Saudi Arabia.

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.

The compass corrects for magnetic declination where possible, so the reading points to true Qibla bearing, not raw magnetic north.

Once loaded, the compass works without an internet connection as long as your device already has your last known location.

Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha — each tied to the sun's position, so exact clock times shift daily and by location.

Times are computed from your coordinates and date using standard astronomical formulas, with an adjustable calculation method for Fajr/Isha angle conventions.

Prayer times are tied to the sun's position, which shifts slightly each day due to Earth's axial tilt and orbital position.
