Question 1

What is the qibla angle?

Accepted Answer

It is the direction from your location to the Kaaba in Mecca, measured in degrees clockwise from north. For Istanbul, for example, it is about 152°.

Question 2

How accurate is a phone compass?

Accepted Answer

A calibrated phone is usually accurate within ±5°. Keep it away from metal objects, magnetic cases and electronics, and calibrate by moving the phone in a figure-eight motion.

Question 3

Do a few degrees of deviation invalidate the prayer?

Accepted Answer

For those who cannot see the Kaaba, facing its general direction (jihah) is sufficient; small deviations do not invalidate the prayer. Still, one should aim for the most accurate direction possible.

Question 4

What is the 'qibla hour' (sun over the Kaaba)?

Accepted Answer

Twice a year the sun passes directly over the Kaaba: May 27-28 at 12:18 and July 15-16 at 12:27 Mecca time (09:18 / 09:27 UTC). Facing the sun at that minute means facing the qibla — the most reliable verification without a compass.

Question 5

Does the site store my location?

Accepted Answer

No. All calculations run in your browser; your location is never sent to or stored on any server.

Question 6

Which method are prayer times calculated with?

Accepted Answer

The Turkey method (close to Diyanet) for Turkish cities and the Muslim World League method elsewhere; times are shown in the city's local time.
