How to find the Qibla without a compass
Stand facing the bearing shown above, measured clockwise from true North (not magnetic North — most phone compasses need calibration to show true North accurately). The Bustandeen app's live Qibla compass uses your device's orientation sensor and current location to point automatically, with no manual calculation needed.
Common questions
- How is the Qibla direction calculated?
- The bearing is the great-circle direction from the city's coordinates to the Kaaba in Makkah (21.4225°N, 39.8262°E), calculated using standard spherical trigonometry.
- Why does the Qibla direction not point toward Makkah on a flat map?
- Because the Earth is a sphere, the shortest path (great-circle route) often looks like a curve on a flat map projection — the bearing shown here is the correct compass direction to face, not a straight line on a 2D map.
