What Is a Qibla Finder?

Qibla (قِبْلَة) is the direction Muslims face during Salah (prayer). It points toward the Masjid al-Haram (the Grand Mosque) in Mecca, Saudi Arabia — specifically the Kaaba (الكعبة المشرّفة), the cube-shaped structure at its centre. Facing the Qibla is a religious obligation (fard) in prayer. This Qibla Finder calculates the precise compass bearing from your current location to the Kaaba using the spherical trigonometry great-circle formula and also tells you the exact distance.

Whether you are travelling, staying in a hotel, or moving to a new city, this tool gives you an instant, accurate Qibla direction. Use your device's GPS for a one-click result, or type in your city's coordinates manually. The animated compass needle rotates to point toward Mecca.
