Qibla Guides
Three short guides on finding the Qibla, understanding the calculation, and fixing a misbehaving compass — plus verified bearings for 20 UK cities.
How to Find the Qibla
Step-by-step for phones and desktops: get your position by GPS, city, or coordinates, read the bearing, and turn it into a direction — with the dial, an arrow, or a map.
How the Qibla Direction Is Calculated
Great-circle maths in plain language: the bearing formula, why flat maps mislead, and the honest limits of the calculation.
Qibla Compass Not Working?
Device-by-device troubleshooting: the iPhone permission gesture, Android calibration, why laptops can’t have a live dial, and what to do instead.
Qibla Direction in the UK
Verified bearings and distances for 20 UK cities, from Plymouth (113.7°) to Hull (120.8°) — all recomputed with our engine.
Start here if you’re in a hurry
Open the Qibla finder, tap Use My Location, and turn until the gold marker sits at the top of the dial. That’s the whole product. The guides exist for the cases where the simple path doesn’t work: no GPS, a stubborn compass, a desktop, or simple curiosity about where the number comes from.
