What Is the Qibla and Why Do Muslims Face It?

The Qibla is the direction that Muslims face during their five daily prayers (salah), pointing toward the Kaaba in the Sacred Mosque (Al-Masjid al-Haram) in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. The Kaaba, a cube-shaped structure originally built by the Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) and his son Ismail (peace be upon them), is considered the House of Allah and the most sacred site in Islam. Facing the Qibla unifies over two billion Muslims worldwide, symbolizing the spiritual unity of the Ummah regardless of geography, language, or culture.

The Quran commands: "Turn your face toward the Sacred Mosque. Wherever you may be, turn your faces toward it" (2:144). Determining the precise Qibla direction from any point on Earth involves spherical trigonometry — calculating the great-circle bearing from your coordinates to the Kaaba (approximately 21.4225°N, 39.8262°E). Modern tools use GPS data and mathematical formulas to provide highly accurate bearings. This finder calculates your exact Qibla angle and distance to the Kaaba, and on supported mobile devices, the compass rotates in real time using your device's orientation sensors.
