Open this page and face the Kaaba in about ten seconds. Tap the button, share your location, and get the exact true-north bearing plus your distance — free, no sign-up, no app to install, right in your browser.
Find your Qibla direction
Point yourself toward the Kaaba in Mecca — free, no sign-up, nothing stored.
Use your device’s location just once to work out the direction. It is used in your browser only and never sent anywhere.
Start typing, then choose a city from the list.
Example: London is 51.5074, −0.1278. Use negative numbers for south and west.
Illustrative dial — align with a real compass
to the Kaaba
No account, no tracking, no data stored. Where scholarly views differ on edge cases, consult your local imam or scholar.
An honest note: the compass dial uses your phone’s motion sensors when they’re available. On desktop — and on phones without a sensor — you still get the exact bearing; you just point a real compass at it yourself. See troubleshooting if the dial won’t move.

Read your bearing
The tool applies the great-circle formula to your coordinates and the Kaaba (21.422487° N, 39.826206° E) and shows the true-north bearing, e.g. 119.0° from London.

Face that direction
On a phone with a compass sensor the dial points for you; otherwise turn until the marker sits at your bearing on any compass — or use the map method.

How to Find the Qibla
Five reliable methods — GPS, physical compass, the sun, mosque alignment and coordinates — plus whether you need an app (you don’t).
Qibla Compass Not Working?
Blocked location permission, iPhone motion access, uncalibrated sensors, magnetic interference — fixes that actually help.
Quick troubleshooting
Most problems have a quick fix. The short version before you read the full guide:
The most common issues
- Location blocked? Check your browser’s site permissions — the request needs to be allowed, not just dismissed.
- Dial won’t turn on iPhone? iOS asks for motion access separately; grant it and the live compass starts.
- Dial pointing the wrong way? Wave your phone in a figure-of-eight a few times to recalibrate its magnetometer, and move away from speakers and metal.
- Desktop or no sensor? That’s normal — the bearing is still exact; point any compass at it. We never pretend the dial is live when it isn’t.
Frequently asked questions
Looking for Google’s Qibla Finder?
Google’s own Qibla Finder, launched in 2017, has been discontinued — which is why so many guides still link to a page that no longer works. FindMyQibla is the browser-based alternative: open the page, tap the button, and get your bearing in seconds. Nothing to install, no account, and it works on any modern phone or computer.
Is this Qibla finder accurate?
The maths is exact: the great-circle formula gives the true bearing for whatever coordinates are used. The practical limit is how precisely your position is known — phone GPS is typically within about 5–20 metres, which doesn’t change the bearing in any meaningful way.
Do I need to install an app?
No. The tool runs entirely in your browser on any modern phone, tablet or computer. There is nothing to download and no account to create.
Does it use my camera?
No. FindMyQibla doesn’t use your camera at all — the bearing, distance and compass dial are all that’s needed.
Will it work offline?
Once the page has loaded, the calculation happens locally on your device — the bearing itself doesn’t need the internet. You’ll need a connection to load the page in the first place.
Does it work on desktop?
Yes — you’ll get the exact bearing and distance. Desktops don’t have a compass sensor, so the live dial won’t turn; the map method is the easiest way to face the direction on a computer.
Is my location sent to a server?
No. When you tap “Use my location”, your browser shares the coordinates with the page, the calculation runs in your browser, and nothing leaves your device. See the privacy policy for the full detail.
