Qibla direction and arah kiblat
The Qibla is the direction Muslims face when performing prayer, pointing toward the Kaaba in Mecca. Use the compass below to calculate your exact bearing, or check the reference table for major Malaysian locations.
How the bearing is calculated
The Qibla bearing is the great-circle direction from your coordinates to the Kaaba (21.4225°N, 39.8262°E), measured in degrees from true north. This is standard spherical navigation trigonometry — the same method used by compass and mapping tools generally, not an estimate specific to MasjidMe.
- Allow location access only when you want location-based guidance.
- Keep your phone away from magnets, metal surfaces and electronic interference.
- Calibrate the device compass when prompted and hold the phone level.
- Confirm with mosque signage or a trusted local authority when precision is important.
