Frequently asked questions

What is the qibla direction from Malaysia?

It depends on the city. From Kuala Lumpur it is 292.54° from true north, towards the north-west; choose your own city for its exact bearing.

How is the qibla calculated?

As the great-circle bearing from the city to the Kaaba in Makkah (21.4225° N, 39.8262° E): the shortest path over the surface of the globe, measured clockwise from true north.

How can I check the qibla without a compass?
