Frequently asked questions
How is the Qibla direction calculated?
It is the initial great-circle bearing from your coordinates to the Kaaba (21.4225° N, 39.8262° E), measured clockwise from true north. This is the shortest path over the Earth.
Is this true north or magnetic north?
True north. A phone compass set to magnetic north can differ by a few degrees depending on where you are; NearMasjid’s Qibla screen uses true north.
