Qibla Direction Finder — Face the Kaaba
By the Editorial Team · reviewed against our sources · updated September 2026 · guidance, not a fatwa
Find the Qibla — the direction of the Kaaba in Makkah — from your exact location, shown as a bearing from North with a live compass.
Qibla is the direction of the Kaaba in Makkah (21.4225°N, 39.8262°E), shown as a bearing from true North. Phone compass sensors can be inaccurate — verify with a reliable compass before prayer.
How to find the Qibla
Tap Use my location and the tool calculates the great-circle bearing from you to the Kaaba (21.4225°N, 39.8262°E). On a phone, enable the live compass so the arrow points to the Qibla as you turn. No location access? Enter your latitude and longitude manually.
A note on accuracy
Phone magnetometers can be several degrees off and are affected by metal and cases. For prayer, treat this as a strong guide and verify with a reliable compass where possible — facing the general direction (within reason) is accepted by scholars when precision isn’t achievable.
Guidance only, not a fatwa. Rulings vary by madhhab; confirm with a qualified scholar.
