Free Qibla & Kaaba Direction Tool
Find the exact direction to the Kaaba in Makkah (Mecca) and your daily prayer times, from anywhere in the world — calculated privately in your browser.
Get your Qibla direction and daily prayer times — calculated privately in your browser, nothing is stored or sent.
After salah, the Sunnah is SubhanAllah ×33, Alhamdulillah ×33, Allahu Akbar ×34. Keep the count without losing your place.
Your location powers both the compass and prayer times — it stays in your browser and is never stored or sent.
More than an arrow
Most Qibla tools stop at a spinning arrow. This one adds a sun-based method for when your compass fails, a 3D globe view, built-in prayer times, saved locations, and fully private, in-browser calculation.
Point your phone and the gold marker turns to the Qibla — with the exact degree bearing and distance to Makkah, not just a rough arrow.
No compass, or a steel building throwing yours off? Our sun-and-shadow method finds the Qibla from the sun's position — something most finders can't do.
Watch the true great-circle route curve across the globe to Makkah, so the direction finally makes sense — a view you won't find on other tools.
Get today's five daily prayer times for your exact location, with your own calculation method and Asr school — no separate app needed. Prefer to be reminded rather than check? See how a zikr ring taps at prayer time.
Store home, work, or a travel destination and pull up the Qibla in a single tap on your next visit.
Everything is calculated in your browser. Your location is never stored or sent, and it keeps working once the page has loaded.
Understanding the Qibla
What is the Qibla direction?
Find the Qibla without a compass
No sensor? Use the bearing
The Qibla is the direction Muslims face during salah (prayer): toward the Kaaba, the cube-shaped structure at the centre of the Sacred Mosque (Masjid al-Haram) in Makkah, Saudi Arabia. Wherever you are on Earth, the Qibla is a single compass bearing — and this tool calculates it from your exact location. Facing it is part of salah — why Muslims pray five times a day.
"So turn your face toward al-Masjid al-Haram. And wherever you are, turn your faces toward it."
— Qur'an 2:144 (Surah al-Baqarah)
Step by step
Tap "Find Qibla direction" and let your browser share your location. It stays on your device and is never uploaded.
On a phone, allow motion & orientation access, then hold the device flat and level, away from metal or magnets.
Rotate until the gold Kaaba marker points to the top of the dial — you are now facing the Qibla.
On a desktop, read the degrees (e.g. 119°) and use any compass with North pointing up to face the Qibla.
The method
Because the Earth is a sphere, the true direction to Makkah is rarely a straight line on a flat map. This tool uses the same great-circle method trusted by astronomers and navigators.
Target
21.4225° N, 39.8262° E
The fixed location of the Kaaba inside Masjid al-Haram in Makkah, used as the target for every bearing.
Method
How to find your Qibla direction
See the path on a 3D globe
Great-circle bearing
We compute the initial bearing of the shortest path across the globe using spherical trigonometry, measured clockwise from true north.
Accuracy
±5–15° on device
The calculation is mathematically exact; real-world accuracy depends on your GPS position and how well your phone's compass is calibrated.
This direction is valid across the Hanafi, Shafi'i, Maliki, and Hanbali schools of jurisprudence — all agree on facing the Kaaba. The bearing is measured from true north, so a magnetic compass may read a few degrees off depending on your local magnetic declination. How phones and zikr rings actually work out the Qibla.
After every prayer
The Sunnah after each salah is to say SubhanAllah 33 times, Alhamdulillah 33 times, and Allahu Akbar 34 times. A handcrafted tasbih or smart zikr ring keeps the count effortless, so your heart stays present in remembrance. How a smart tasbih ring keeps the count.
