UNDERSTANDING THE QIBLA

Find Your Qibla Anywhere

What is the Qibla?

The Qibla is the direction Muslims face when performing Salah. It points toward the Kaaba in the Masjid al-Haram in Makkah, Saudi Arabia.

Mecca Direction is an online Qibla direction finder. It uses a selected location to calculate the direction toward the Kaaba. You can use your current location when you allow GPS access, search for a city, or enter coordinates if those options are available in the finder.

The direction is usually shown as a bearing measured clockwise from true north. A device compass may help you line up with that bearing, but its readings depend on the phone's sensors, calibration, and surroundings.

View all FAQs →
What is the Qibla?

The Qibla is the direction Muslims face during Salah. It points toward the Kaaba in the Masjid al-Haram in Makkah, Saudi Arabia.

How does Mecca Direction calculate the Qibla?

The finder uses your selected location to calculate the direction toward the Kaaba. A supported device compass may also help you orient your phone toward that bearing.

Do I have to allow location access?

No. You can search for a city or enter coordinates if those options are available. If you choose GPS, your browser will ask for location permission.

Why does my phone compass seem inaccurate?

Compass readings can be affected by magnets, metal, electronics, calibration, device orientation, and browser support. Move away from magnetic objects and follow any calibration prompt.

Can I use the Qibla finder while travelling?

Yes. Choose your current location, search for the place you are visiting, or enter coordinates if supported. Check that the selected place is correct.

Does the compass work on every phone?

No. Live orientation depends on your device sensors, browser, permissions, and sometimes a secure HTTPS connection. The calculated bearing may still be available when live compass support is not.
