How to locate the direction
- Simply enter details regarding your location in the text box
below. The more details the better, such as your city, county and country.
Then click on the button labeled "Search".
- The sidebar to the right of the map will, In Shaa Allah (God Willing), return
results that have the closest geographical matches to your entry. One of them
will be your current location. Click your location in the sidebar to retrieve
the direction to Makkah.
- Note: Each result returned in the sidebar can be identified by its own marker on
the map that represents this result. If there are too many markers on the map
(because there are many locations that sound similar to yours), you may
optionally click the marker and a balloon will appear with the name of the
location that marker represents. This is to confirm that you have identified
your correct current location.
- At the bottom of the page, beneath the map, are guideline prayer times for today
for your current location. Please note that, as with all online (website) prayer
calculators, these times are not precise. Rather than provide lots of
different confusing methods and settings to choose from, I have purposely chosen
the Muslim World League and standard Juristic method for this site. Thus, due to
regional variations, please add 45 minutes to each time below to ensure that you
pray within the correct Fajr-Thuhr-Asr-Maghrib-Aisha timeframes for where ever
you are in the world.
All times calculated here are only for guidance in the instance that you have
not obtained times from a reputable islamic organisation. To read more about why
online (website) prayer calculators can be inaccurate,

"We have seen you (O Muhammad) turning your face about the sky
(searching for the right direction). We now assign a Qiblah that is pleasing to
you. Henceforth, you shall turn your face towards the Sacred Masjid." 2:144
