This tool was built to help you connect to Allah ﷻ in your salah. One of the things that has truly deepened my own khushu' is pausing before I stand to pray, and picturing exactly where I am in relation to the Kaaba — which face is before me, how far I am, what lies between us. It transforms the qibla from an abstract direction into something you can feel: a thread stretched across the earth toward the House of Allah.

This was not my idea alone. The seed of it came from my father and my uncle, and I owe them both more than this page can hold. May Allah reward them and accept from them.

The bearing shown is calculated using the great-circle formula — the shortest path across the surface of the earth between your location and the Kaaba. From that bearing, the tool determines which face or corner of the Kaaba is most likely oriented toward you. These are approximations. The Kaaba's corners are not perfectly aligned to the cardinal directions, local terrain affects nothing here, and a few degrees either way can shift the result. The bearing itself is accurate; the face classification is a best estimate across eight directions.

This is intentional. The goal is not a GPS-precise prayer direction — your local mosque or a dedicated qibla compass serves that need. The goal here is contemplative: to give you enough to close your eyes before salah and picture it. Which wall of the Kaaba faces you. How far you are. What lies along that line. To feel the thread, not just follow an arrow.

"O Allah, forgive them both, have mercy on them, grant them wellbeing, and pardon them."
