What is a Qibla finder?

A Qibla finder is online tool that helps Muslims find the direction of the Kaaba in Mecca for prayer. Our online Qibla finder uses your device sensors to show you the exact direction to pray without installing any apps.

How does the Qibla finder work?

  1. It gets your current location using GPS
  2. Calculates the direction to the Kaaba in Mecca
  3. Uses your device’s compass to show you which way to face
  4. Shows the exact angle and distance to the Kaaba

Quick Start:

  1. Open the Qibla finder in your browser
  2. Tap "Find Qibla Direction"
  3. Allow location and sensor access when asked
  4. Hold your device flat
  5. Follow the arrow to face the Qibla

Calibration steps:

  1. Tap the "Recalibrate" button
