FAQ sur la Qibla

Qu'est-ce que la Qibla ?
La Qibla est la direction vers laquelle les musulmans se tournent pendant la prière. Elle pointe vers la Kaaba dans la Masjid al-Haram à La Mecque, en Arabie Saoudite. La Kaaba est située aux coordonnées 21,4225°N, 39,8262°E.
Comment la direction de la Qibla est-elle calculée ?
La direction de la Qibla est calculée comme l'angle orthodromique depuis votre position jusqu'à la Kaaba. Cette méthode donne la distance la plus courte à la surface de la Terre et est utilisée par la plupart des érudits islamiques.
Que signifie le nombre de degrés ?
Le nombre de degrés indique la direction par rapport au nord (0°/360° = nord, 90° = est, 180° = sud, 270° = ouest). Depuis l'Europe du Nord, la direction de la Qibla est généralement comprise entre 130° et 145°, soit le sud-est.
Puis-je utiliser la boussole de mon téléphone ?
Oui, vous pouvez utiliser la boussole de votre téléphone. Trouvez le nord avec la boussole, puis tournez-vous du nombre de degrés indiqué pour votre ville. Notez que la boussole du téléphone peut être affectée par des interférences magnétiques, donc calibrez-la d'abord.
What is the great-circle method?
The great-circle method calculates the shortest path between two points on a sphere. Rather than drawing a straight line on a flat map, it accounts for the Earth's curvature. This is the same method used by airlines for international flights and is accepted by the vast majority of Islamic scholars as the correct way to determine the Qibla.
What is the Kaaba and where is it located?
The Kaaba is a cube-shaped building located in the center of Masjid al-Haram (the Grand Mosque) in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. Its exact coordinates are 21.4225°N, 39.8262°E. Muslims believe it was originally built by Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) and his son Ismail. It is the most sacred site in Islam and the focal point of the Hajj pilgrimage.
Does the Qibla direction change over time?
No, the Qibla direction from a fixed location does not change. The Kaaba's position is constant, and the Earth's geography does not shift noticeably within human timescales. However, if you travel to a different city, your Qibla direction will be different because of your new position relative to Mecca.
What is the difference between true north and magnetic north?
True north points to the geographic North Pole, while magnetic north points to the Earth's magnetic pole, which is offset by several degrees depending on your location. This difference is called magnetic declination. Phone and physical compasses point to magnetic north, so for the most accurate Qibla direction you may need to account for your local magnetic declination. Most modern smartphone compass apps correct for this automatically.
How accurate is the Qibla calculation on Praay.org?
Our Qibla calculation uses the standard spherical trigonometry formula for great-circle bearings, which is accurate to within a fraction of a degree. The main source of error is typically in the user's compass, not the calculation. We use the Kaaba's precise GPS coordinates (21.4225°N, 39.8262°E) and each city's coordinates from verified geographical databases.
Is Qibla always southeast from Europe?
From most of Europe, the Qibla direction is indeed roughly southeast (typically 120°–150°). However, from other parts of the world it can be very different. From North America the Qibla is generally northeast, from Australia it is northwest, and from East Asia it is west. The direction depends entirely on where you are relative to Mecca.
Did the Qibla direction always point to Mecca?
No. In the early years of Islam, Muslims prayed facing Jerusalem (Bayt al-Maqdis). Approximately 16 months after the Hijra (migration to Medina), the Qibla was changed to the Kaaba in Mecca by divine revelation. This event is described in the Quran (Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:144) and is a significant moment in Islamic history.
Is facing the exact Qibla direction mandatory for prayer?
Islamic scholars agree that Muslims should make a reasonable effort to face the Qibla during prayer. If you can see the Kaaba, you must face it precisely. If you are far away, facing the general direction is sufficient according to most scholars. The important thing is to make a sincere effort. If you are unable to determine the direction (for example while traveling), you should pray in the direction you believe is most likely correct.
How can I find Qibla at night without a compass?
At night, you can find north using the North Star (Polaris), which is located almost directly above the North Pole. Find the Big Dipper (Ursa Major) constellation and follow the two pointer stars to Polaris. Once you know where north is, turn clockwise by the number of degrees shown for your city. You can also use the position of the setting or rising sun as a rough guide during twilight hours.
How do I find Qibla when traveling?
When traveling, use Praay.org to look up the Qibla direction for your destination city. You can also use a smartphone compass app, or ask at a local mosque. In hotels, some rooms have a Qibla direction sticker or arrow on the ceiling. Remember that the Qibla direction can differ significantly from what you are used to at home, especially when traveling to another continent.

Comment trouver la Qibla à Flying Fish Cove

Pour trouver la direction de la Qibla à Flying Fish Cove, utilisez une boussole et tournez-vous à 296.7° depuis le nord. C'est approximativement vers le NO. Beaucoup de mosquées à Flying Fish Cove sont déjà orientées vers La Mecque.

Why is the Qibla direction important?

Facing the Qibla is one of the essential conditions for the validity of salah (prayer) in Islam. The Quran explicitly instructs Muslims to turn their faces toward the Sacred Mosque (Masjid al-Haram) wherever they are (Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:144). This unifying act means that over 1.8 billion Muslims around the world all face the same point when they pray, creating a powerful sense of spiritual unity. Beyond the five daily prayers, the Qibla direction is also observed when reciting the Quran, making dua (supplication), during the ritual slaughter of animals, and when burying the deceased.

Methods to find Qibla in practice

There are several practical ways to determine the Qibla direction in Flying Fish Cove. The most accurate is using a digital tool like Praay.org, which calculates 296.7° using the great-circle formula. A physical compass gives reliable results when properly calibrated — simply align the compass with north and rotate to the correct bearing. Smartphone compass apps work similarly and often include automatic magnetic declination correction. The sun can also help: twice a year, the sun passes directly overhead the Kaaba, and at that moment any shadow points exactly away from Qibla. Additionally, many hotels in Muslim-majority countries place Qibla direction stickers in their rooms.

Historical background of the Qibla

The concept of a prayer direction is deeply rooted in Abrahamic tradition. Early Muslims initially prayed towards Jerusalem (Bayt al-Maqdis) for approximately 16 months after the Hijra. The change of Qibla to the Kaaba in Mecca occurred around 624 CE, as recorded in Surah Al-Baqarah (2:142-150). This momentous event is known as the Tahwil al-Qibla and holds great theological significance. The Kaaba itself is believed to have been originally built by Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) and his son Ismail as the first house of worship dedicated to the One God. Today, the Kaaba stands in the center of Masjid al-Haram, the largest mosque in the world, which can accommodate over two million worshippers.

How geography affects Qibla from Flying Fish Cove

The Qibla bearing from Flying Fish Cove is influenced by its geographical position at latitude -10.42°. Cities at the same longitude but different latitudes will have different Qibla directions because the great-circle path curves differently. The distance of approximately 8,010 km to Mecca means the direction is roughly NO. Interestingly, following the Qibla bearing on a great-circle path from your location would take you directly to the Kaaba along the shortest surface route — the same route an airplane would fly.

La direction de la Qibla varie en fonction de votre position géographique. Praay.org calcule la direction précise vers la Kaaba pour plus de 151,725 villes dans le monde en utilisant la méthode orthodromique, qui donne la distance la plus courte à la surface de la Terre.

The Qibla direction varies dramatically across the globe. From Western Europe, it is southeast (around 120°–150°). From North America, it is northeast (around 50°–60°). From Southeast Asia and Australia, it is northwest (around 290°–320°). From sub-Saharan Africa, it is generally north to northeast. These large variations are a direct result of Earth's spherical geometry and demonstrate why using a precise calculation rather than a rough estimate is important.

Praay.org uses standard spherical trigonometry to compute the initial bearing from any point on Earth to the Kaaba's exact GPS coordinates (21.4225°N, 39.8262°E). This calculation is accurate to a fraction of a degree, far exceeding the practical accuracy of any compass. City coordinates are sourced from verified geographical databases, ensuring reliable results for every location. Whether you are at home, traveling, or moving to a new city, you can always find your precise Qibla direction here.
