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.
