Frequently Asked Questions

Is this Qibla finder accurate?

Yes. It uses your GPS coordinates and the spherical great-circle bearing formula to calculate the precise direction toward the Kaaba (21.4225°N, 39.8262°E). On modern smartphones in open areas, accuracy is typically within 2–5 degrees.

Does it work without internet?

Once the page is loaded, everything works fully offline. GPS operates independently of mobile data. Simply load the page before entering a low-signal area.

Why is the arrow spinning or wrong?

Magnetic interference is the usual cause — metal objects, electronics, or a magnetic phone case. Move away from these and perform the figure-8 calibration motion. Also hold the phone flat (face up), not tilted.

Does it work on iPhone?

Yes. Tap the button and choose Allow when iOS asks for motion sensor access. If the prompt doesn't appear, go to Settings → Safari → Motion & Orientation Access and enable it.

Does it use the great-circle route to Mecca?

Yes. The calculation uses the great-circle bearing — the shortest path across Earth's surface — which is the method recommended by Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh) and used by all major Qibla applications.


About the Qibla Direction

The Qibla (القبلة — "the direction") is the direction all Muslims face during the five daily prayers (Salah). It points toward the Kaaba, the cube-shaped structure at the heart of Masjid al-Haram in Mecca, Saudi Arabia — located at 21.4225°N, 39.8262°E.

Historically, scholars used celestial navigation — stars, sunrise and sunset positions, and the direction of prevailing winds — to determine Qibla. Today, GPS and digital magnetometers make it possible to get a precise bearing from anywhere on Earth within seconds, directly in your phone's browser.
