Interactive Qibla Compass

Find the Qibla from your exact location with a live compass that points towards the Holy Kaaba. islam4all uses GPS to calculate the Qibla direction and distance for your city, so you always know which way to face, at home or while travelling.

For the most accurate reading, hold your phone flat and calibrate the compass by moving it in a figure-eight motion. If your phone compass is unreliable, the GPS direction and the distance to Makkah shown on the page still let you confirm the direction against known landmarks.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Qibla compass work?

The page reads your GPS location, calculates the great-circle direction to the Kaaba in Makkah, and rotates a compass dial using your phone's compass sensor so the needle points towards the Qibla.

How accurate is the Qibla compass?

Accuracy depends on your GPS fix and your phone's compass calibration. Outdoors with a calibrated compass, it is accurate to within a few degrees. Always confirm against a known landmark or your local mosque's Qibla if you are unsure.

What if my phone compass is wrong?

Calibrate it by moving the phone in a figure-eight motion, away from magnets and metal. If it still reads wrong, use the GPS Qibla direction and distance shown on the page together with the sun's position or a map.

What is the Qibla direction from India?

From most of India the Qibla is roughly west-northwest. From Mumbai it is about 280 degrees, and the exact bearing changes with your city, which is why the page calculates it from your own location.
