QIBLA COMPASS FAQs
For the live Qibla compass to work, your phone must have a compass (magnetometer) sensor and location services must be enabled. To find your Qibla direction, tap the “START QIBLA COMPASS” button and allow the requested motion, orientation, and location permissions.
Hold your phone flat and parallel to the ground, then slowly turn to the right or left. When the QIBLA arrow aligns with the Kaaba icon at the top, the screen will turn green. The direction indicated by the Kaaba is your Qibla direction.
If your phone does not have a compass sensor, use the “FIND QIBLA WITH MAP” tab instead. Find your location on the online map and follow the Qibla direction line drawn between your location and the Kaaba to determine your Qibla direction.
Your phone's compass can be affected by nearby magnetic fields and metal objects, causing it to show an incorrect or unstable direction. Magnetic phone cases, car phone mounts, speakers, electronic devices, metal tables, and other metal surfaces can interfere with the compass sensor. The Qibla compass may also be inaccurate if the compass sensor needs calibration, the phone is not held flat, or your phone does not have a compass (magnetometer) sensor.
If this happens, move your phone away from magnetic and metal objects and remove any magnetic phone case. If necessary, try recalibrating the compass sensor by moving your phone through a figure-eight motion several times. Then hold your phone flat and parallel to the ground and try the Qibla compass again.
You can also check the direction using the Qibla line shown on the map. If your phone does not have a compass sensor, you can use the map to find your Qibla direction instead.
The Qibla direction varies depending on your location. Therefore, the live Qibla compass needs your location to calculate the Qibla direction and Qibla degree for where you are. When you allow location access, your coordinates are determined and the direction of the Kaaba is calculated to show your Qibla direction.
Location permission is requested only to determine your location and show the Qibla direction for that location. If you prefer not to allow location access, you can still find your Qibla direction using the “FIND QIBLA WITH MAP” tab. Find your city and location on the map, then use the Qibla line shown between your location and the Kaaba to determine your Qibla direction.
If the Qibla compass does not work after you tap the “START QIBLA COMPASS” button, first make sure that location services are enabled on your phone and that you have allowed the requested location, motion, and orientation permissions.
For the live Qibla compass to work, your phone must have a compass (magnetometer) sensor. The compass may not work if your phone does not have this sensor or if your web browser cannot access the device's motion and orientation data.
Check whether your phone has a compass sensor and make sure that both your phone and web browser have permission to access your location. Then tap the “START QIBLA COMPASS” button again.
If you still cannot use the live Qibla compass, switch to the “FIND QIBLA WITH MAP” tab. You can use the Qibla line shown on the online map to determine your Qibla direction.

HOW TO FIND THE QIBLA DIRECTION
The word Qibla means “direction” or “the direction one faces.” In Islamic terminology, it refers to the direction of the Kaaba in Mecca, which Muslims face when performing prayer. Simply put, the Qibla is the direction of the Kaaba that Muslims face when they pray.
Especially in Muslim communities, one of the most practical ways to determine the Qibla is to ask someone who knows the Qibla direction or use the direction of a local mosque as a reference.
The Qibla direction can also be found using various methods, including a live Qibla compass, magnetic compass, online maps, mobile apps, Qibla time, the sun, and certain natural direction indicators.
You can use the live Qibla compass on our website to easily find your Qibla direction. You can also find detailed information about other methods for determining the Qibla in the questions below.
The Qibla direction varies depending on where you are in the world. This is because the Qibla is the direction you face toward the Kaaba in Mecca from your location. Therefore, there is no single direction such as east, west, north, or south that represents the Qibla everywhere in the world.
For example, if the Kaaba is southeast of your location, your Qibla direction will be southeast; if it is northwest of your location, your Qibla direction will be northwest. So, the answer to the search phrase “Qibla which direction?” depends on your location: the Qibla is the direction of the Kaaba from where you are.
The Kaaba direction or Mecca direction also refers to your Qibla direction in this context. Once you determine the direction of the Kaaba in Mecca from your location, you have also determined your Qibla direction.
To find the Qibla direction from your location, you can use a live Qibla compass or an online map. Once your location is determined, the direction of the Kaaba can be calculated to show your Qibla direction and the Qibla degree you can use with a compass.
To find the Qibla direction from your location, your location must first be determined. Once your location is known, the direction of the Kaaba in Mecca can be calculated to determine your Qibla direction.
You can use a live Qibla compass or an online map for this. The live Qibla compass calculates the direction of the Kaaba based on your location and uses a Qibla arrow to show which way you should face when praying.
The online map shows the Qibla line between your location and the Kaaba. You can then use nearby buildings, roads, and other fixed landmarks as reference points to easily determine which way the Qibla is from your location.
Yes, Google Maps can be used to find the Qibla direction. To do this, you need to determine the direction of the Kaaba in Mecca from your current location. However, simply locating the Kaaba on the map may not be enough. A Qibla line drawn between your location and the Kaaba makes it much easier to determine the exact direction you need to face.
On the Qibla Finder online map, you can directly see the Qibla line between your location and the Kaaba. By comparing this line with nearby roads, buildings, and other fixed landmarks, you can determine which way the Qibla is from where you are.
People looking for the Qibla direction online may search for phrases such as “Qibla Finder Google,” “find Qibla with Google,” “Qibla Finder by Google,” or “Qibla Finder on Google.” However, Qibla Finder is not a service owned by or affiliated with Google. It is an independent Qibla finder that uses Google Maps to show the Qibla line between your location and the Kaaba.
One of the most practical ways to find the Qibla direction from your house is to use the Qibla direction of a nearby mosque as a reference or ask neighbors who know the direction of the Qibla. If this is not possible, or if you want to verify the direction you have been given, you can use several other methods.
You can find the Qibla degree for your location and use it with a magnetic compass to determine the Qibla direction. You can also use the sun by checking the Qibla time for your location from a reliable source. At the specified time, face the sun to determine your Qibla direction.
You can also use a Qibla finder app on your phone. If you prefer not to download an app, you can use the live Qibla compass on our website to easily determine the direction of the Kaaba from your home.
You can also find the Qibla direction of your house using our “FIND QIBLA WITH MAP” tab, which uses Google Maps. On the online map, compare the Qibla line shown between your home location and the Kaaba with nearby buildings, roads, and other fixed landmarks to easily determine your Qibla direction.

With the live Qibla compass on our website, you can instantly find the Qibla direction for your current location using your phone. For the compass to work, your phone must have a compass (magnetometer) sensor, location services must be enabled, and the required location, motion, and orientation permissions must be allowed.
If your phone does not have a compass sensor, you can still determine your Qibla direction using the “FIND QIBLA WITH MAP” tab.
Qibla time is a practical and reliable method of determining the Qibla direction using the sun as a reference. When you face the sun at the Qibla time calculated for your city, you are facing the Qibla direction.
Qibla time varies depending on your location and the date. You can find the Qibla time for your location in local prayer time calendars or on reliable websites that provide this information. Therefore, when using the Qibla time method, it is important to use up-to-date information for your specific location and date.
To find the Qibla direction with a compass, you first need to know the Qibla degree for a compass for your location. Since metal objects, magnets, and electronic devices that generate magnetic fields can affect the compass needle, keep the compass away from such objects and hold it flat and parallel to the ground.
First, align the north-pointing needle of the compass with the N (North) mark on the compass dial. Then, starting from N (North), locate the Qibla degree for your location by moving clockwise around the compass dial. The direction indicated outward from that degree is your Qibla direction.
