The Qibla is the direction that Muslims face during prayer. It points toward the Kaaba, a sacred building located in Mecca, Saudi Arabia.
Muslims are required to face the Qibla during the five daily prayers (Salah) and various other religious acts.
The direction is calculated using spherical trigonometry, taking into account your location's coordinates and the coordinates of the Kaaba.
Tips for Finding the Qibla
In the Northern Hemisphere, the sun rises in the east, sets in the west, and is directly south at noon. You can use these natural signs to help orient yourself.
For accurate readings, calibrate your device's compass by moving it in a figure-8 pattern. Keep your phone away from magnetic objects that may interfere with the compass.
For the most accurate results, verify the Qibla direction using multiple methods, such as a physical compass, smartphone apps, and the position of the sun or stars.
