Four tools, with several ways to start
Use the Qibla finder with a built-in city preset, decimal coordinates or your device’s reported location. Presets offer a quick starting point; device location can give you a point closer to where you are. The city directory explains the available city pages and their fixed reference values.
The result is a bearing measured clockwise from true north, together with an estimated surface distance. A supported live compass can help relate that bearing to your phone. If a heading is unavailable, the practical direction guide explains how to work with another reliable north reference.
The prayer-times tool calculates the start of Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha for a selected point, with Sunrise shown as a solar marker rather than a prayer. Use today’s local date or choose a date from 2020 to 2035, in the time zone selected for that place. You can change the calculation profile, Asr calculation, twilight settings and minute adjustments, see which criterion set each time and print a monthly timetable. For Ramadan, you can enter the Gregorian date of the first fasting day and a length of 29 or 30 days to show a timetable for that period. The generated Ramadan timetable has a button that copies a link to reopen the same calculation. The tool does not confirm when Ramadan begins in your community. City pages, including Toronto, Calgary, Edmonton and London, UK, start from a stated profile that you can change.
The Islamic calendar shows a calculated Hijri month, and the Hijri date converter converts a date from Gregorian to Hijri or from Hijri to Gregorian. Both cover Gregorian dates from 1 January 1900 to 31 December 2100 and let you choose between the Umm al-Qura table and the arithmetic Islamic civil calendar. They calculate dates without using your location; they do not report a sighted crescent or an announced start of Ramadan or Eid.
Who operates this website
This website is operated under the name Qibla Finder Online at QiblaFinderOnline.org. You can send questions, accessibility feedback or correction requests using the form on the contact page, which also includes a technical-report template.
The site brings the calculator, city references and supporting explanations together so you can check both the selected place and the meaning of the result.
Calculations you can understand and compare
The methodology publishes the destination reference coordinates, spherical calculation, magnetic correction and safeguards. It separates a geographic bearing from a device heading: a correct angle for the selected point still needs a reliable reference when you apply it.
Prayer times depend on stated conventions as well as location and date. The guides to calculation methods, why prayer times differ and high latitudes explain the settings behind each result. Calculation details list the profile, angles, Asr calculation, twilight policy, rounding and minute offsets, both built-in and manual, plus any custom Isha mode, window and origin. Beside the prayer rows, a criterion label shows when something other than the ordinary angle or solar calculation set a time, and a date badge marks a time that falls on the next day. With those details you can compare results that use the same inputs. The available profiles are editable conventions, not the adopted timetable of any mosque.
The guides distinguish city-centre references, current device positions and remembered locations. Worked examples and interactive explanations help you explore those differences. Simulated heading controls are labelled as examples and remain separate from the live finder.
If you spot an unclear explanation or unexpected result, send the page address, the relevant passage or test input, and a source or steps that help reproduce it. For a prayer time, include the date, time zone and settings shown. Use the issue-report template to keep those details together.
Independent calculators for direction, prayer times and dates
Qibla Finder Online is independent of Google’s Qibla Finder, OpenStreetMap, mosques and other religious institutions. Links to factual sources, map providers and mosque timetable pages identify the material or service referred to; they do not imply an endorsement.
The prayer-times tool does not reproduce any mosque’s current schedule or infer a mosque’s official method. For a congregation’s adhan or iqamah times, check that mosque’s own published timetable. The Islamic calendar and date converter are not endorsed by any mosque or religious authority; for the start of Ramadan or Eid, follow the announcement your community relies on.
The calculators provide geographic information, calculated times and calculated dates, with browser guidance. For a religious ruling, acceptable prayer-direction uncertainty, the choice of a prayer-time method, the start of Ramadan or Eid, or the alignment of an established prayer space, seek qualified local guidance.
Choose the permissions you need
You can start with a city or manual coordinates without granting access to your current position. Select Use my location to request browser location, or Enable live compass to start the orientation feature. Remembering a point and opening the external map are separate choices.
Read Privacy and location choices for storage, sharing and external-connection details. For a still or unstable arrow, follow the compass troubleshooting guide. The terms of use explain the service’s scope.
