Using the Qibla finder and understanding your result
What is the Qibla?
The Qibla is the direction of the Kaaba in Makkah, faced during prayer. Quran 2:144 describes turning toward the Sacred Mosque. For rulings about your particular circumstances, ask a qualified scholar.
How is the Qibla bearing calculated?
The tool calculates the initial great-circle bearing from your coordinates to 21.4225° N, 39.8262° E on a spherical Earth. The angle runs clockwise from true north: 0° is north, 90° east, 180° south and 270° west. It is a geographical calculation, not a measurement of which way your phone is pointing.
Why does the arrow stay still?
Without a recent valid heading, the diagram stays north-up. A desktop or unsupported phone can still calculate the bearing. Use trusted local guidance or a compass adjusted to true north to apply that angle; the top of your screen is not automatically north.
How do I use the phone compass?
If asked, enable compass access, then hold the phone flat in portrait orientation away from magnets and metal. The tool ignores relative orientation and poor reported accuracy, and stops using readings after five seconds without an update. A displayed reading is still approximate: sensor calibration and magnetic-versus-true north can affect it.
Which location should I choose?
Device location asks for browser permission and shows the accuracy reported by your device. Internet-location suggestions are approximate and can be wrong with a VPN. You can enter latitude and longitude instead. The calculation runs in your browser; location suggestions and place names use external services only after you choose a location action.
What if the direction seems wrong?
Check the displayed coordinates, source and device accuracy. Try a better location fix, move away from magnetic interference and compare with a trusted local mosque. At the Kaaba, its antipode or the poles a unique useful compass bearing is not provided. The tool does not certify a prayer’s validity.
