Find the qibla with a live compass
Marmareen points you to the Kaaba with a compass that corrects for the difference between magnetic north and true north where you are. As you move, the direction and your distance to the Kaaba update, and the screen turns green when you face the qibla.
What you get
- The qibla bearing from the true geodesic path to the Kaaba (21.4225° N, 39.8262° E).
- Magnetic declination from the World Magnetic Model 2025, so the compass points the right way where you are.
- Your distance to the Kaaba, updating live as you move, with the GPS accuracy shown.
- The screen turns green, with a light tap, when you face the qibla.
- On devices without a compass, the bearing in degrees from north.
How to use it
- Open Qibla and hold your phone flat.
- If asked, move it in a figure 8 to calibrate the compass.
- Turn until the screen turns green.
Questions
How accurate is the qibla direction?
The bearing is calculated exactly from your location; the compass then depends on your phone’s sensor. Keep it flat and away from magnets and metal, and calibrate when asked.
Does the qibla finder work offline?
Yes. Everything is calculated on your device.
