The direction Muslims face during prayer is the Kaaba in the Masjid al-Haram in Mecca.
The direction indicated on a compass is found by including the declination angle to determine magnetic north relative to true geographic north. Below is the Qibla angle value relative to magnetic north using a real compass. The direction indicated by the compass needle is the direction relative to magnetic north.
The compass circle measures between 0° and 360°, and the angle increases clockwise, starting from north.
| Direction | Name | Angle (Degrees) | Explanation |
|---|---|---|---|
| N | North | 0° | It is the starting direction of angle measurement. |
| E | East | 90° | The direction reached by turning 90° clockwise from north. |
| S | South | 180° | The exact opposite direction of north. |
| W | West | 270° | The exact opposite direction to the east. |
The Qibla angle, like a compass, is measured clockwise, starting from north.
