ONLINE QIBLA DIRECTION FINDER FAQs
What is Qibla?
Qibla refers to the direction in which Muslims should turn in prayer. The lexical meaning of Qibla is direction. As a religious concept; it is the direction that Muslims turn towards in prayers, ‘the Ka'ba’ or the direction of the Kaaba building in Mecca. The Qibla of Muslims is the Kaaba in Mecca. For those who see the Kaaba, the Qibla is the Kaaba itself.
Is the Qibla, the Kaaba building itself? While praying, is it necessary to return to this building?
Qibla is not the building but the land of the Kaaba, but from the ground to the Arsh, that space is Qibla. For this reason, one can pray at the bottom of the well or the sea, on the top of high mountains or on the plane in this direction.
How will those who cannot see the Kaaba or who are at a distance find the direction of Qibla?
As it is known, the Kaaba directly determines the Qibla if it is seen. There are three main views on how to determine the Qibla if the Kaaba is not seen. According to Imam Abu Hanifa, the main thing is the direction in which the Kaaba is located. It is sufficient for a Muslim who performs a prayer to stand in the direction of the Kaaba. Because especially at long distances, it is not possible to face the Kaaba directly, Imam Shafii and Ahmad bin Hanbal state that it is the Kaaba itself, not the direction of the Qibla, and therefore it is necessary to turn to the Kaaba itself, wherever it is located. According to these scholars, prayer will not be valid if the Kaaba is not placed right across. The third view advocated by Imam Malik is basically the same as that of Imam Abu Hanifa. According to this, the Qibla of those in Masjid al-Haram is the Kaaba, the Qibla of those in the Harem area is Masjid al-Haram, and the Qibla of Muslims in other places is the Harem area.
What is Qibla Time? How to find Qibla with Qibla Time?
Qibla clock is one of the most reliable and practical methods used to find Qibla. Because the tools you use to locate the correct direction of Qibla may not be found everywhere. At the time of the Qibla time of the city you are in, a person who turns towards the sun will also turn towards the Qibla. If the weather is sunny at the time of Qibla time, simply head towards it. You can learn the Qibla time of your city from the 'Qibla Time' column in the calendars that include prayer times.
What is the Online Qibla Compass?
With the widespread use of mobile devices, magnetic compasses have left their place to compasses used in Android or iPhone devices. Qibla finder applications developed for mobile devices with compass sensors have greatly made our work easier. With Qibla Compass applications, you can quickly determine the direction of the Qibla of your current location. In order to use these apps that show the Qibla direction of your current location, you must have a compass sensor on your device. The best example of these applications is the Qibla Finder application.
How to Find Qibla Direction with Online Maps?
Using technological innovations and internet infrastructure, it is now much easier to determine the direction of Qibla. You can quickly find the Qibla direction of your current location with the help of online maps (Google Maps) that also make up the infrastructure of our site. Use our site by opening the location (GPS) service on your mobile phone or give the necessary permissions by taking into account the warning regarding your location while entering the site. Your location will be found on the online map in a short time and your Qibla direction line will be displayed. The line in the form of a coloured (red) line drawn between your position and the Kaaba in Mecca will be your Qibla direction. Zoom your location on the map. You can easily find the direction of Qibla indicated by your Qibla line, taking into account the house, street or objects around you. Online maps provide the qibla direction line and the Qibla angle for your location. If you wish, you can find your direction of Qibla by applying the angle of Qibla from here to a compass.
How to find the direction of qibla with a compass?
When it comes to finding direction, the first tool we will prefer will be the compass since antiquity. Compass also makes important contributions to us in determining our direction of Qibla. The coloured tip (compass needle) of the compass always points North. According to this, it is possible to determine the estimated Qibla direction of our location. However, in order to determine our direction of Qibla correctly with a compass, we need to know the angle of Qibla of your location. You can use the qiblafinder.org website for the Qibla angle of your location. You can find on this site the Qibla angle of all countries and cities to use for the compass. We assume you have learned the Qibla angle for the city you are in. We must rotate the compass until the coloured needle of the compass coincides with the North (N) in the compass holder. Stop when North (N) coincides with the compass needle. Then find the Qibla angle of the city you are in on the compass clockwise from North (N). The direction indicated by that Qibla angle is your Qibla direction. For example, New York City's angle of Qibla is 71 degrees for the compass. First, let's make the coloured pointer of the compass coincide with N (north). Then let's find 71 degrees clockwise from N (north). The direction indicated at 71 degrees in New York City is your Qibla direction.
When you want to find your direction of Qibla with the compass, you should pay attention to some points: On the Qiblafinder.Org site, you will be given the Qibla angle relative to the true north and the Qibla angle for the compass. You should use the "Qibla Angle for Compass" which takes into account the magnetic deflection and gives the most accurate result for the compass. However, magnetic pollution, which surprises compasses in cities, has reached an extreme level. Surplus of iron buildings, electrical networks, electronic equipment, cars, iron pipes, radio and television waves, radios, mobile phones, metal clocks, etc. creates magnetic density and may cause deviations in compasses. Different magnetic deviations can occur in different points of the world in compasses compared to the true north. In this case, the first thing you can do will be to measure with a compass away from buildings and vehicles. Second, it is important to find the compass angle by taking into account the magnetic declination angles at different points of the world with respect to the true north.
