Hi,
Your Qibla Locator works as a charm! Well done and very useful.
May I suggest not to use grey, blue or purple texts against a black background - this does not show well on many screens. Why not use a simple white background?
The qibla direction, geographical data and distance are shown with far too many decimals - their spurious accuracy may confuse users. Four or five decimals should be sufficient and the output bar will look nicer.
Many non Anglo-Saxon users would prefer to see the distance given in kilometers, not in miles. Why not add an option so that the user can choose the units. Other users may also prefer to have the angular data given in arcminutes and arcseconds instead of decimal degress.
Keep up the good work!
May 16th, 2006 03:22
Thanks for the great feedback Robert. This is exactly what i’m looking for; feedback from users so I can imporve the application. I’ll definitely look into your suggestions and try and work them in.

AoA,
Great work!
I am putting together a website for my mosque and I would like to integrate qibla locator into the website (without requiring to jump out of the site). I’d very much appreciate your feedback on this.
Wassalam
June 26th, 2006 13:23
Wa’alaikum Assalam,
Jazzakallah Khair. You could use iframes to load this page in your site. That would actually load qibla locator but seem as if it was on your masjids site.
At the moment I am focusing in fixing some of the bugs with the qibla locator and don’t plan in making a seperate module that essentially does the same thing.

I am new in Harvard university Cambridge. The qibla according to this software is in Northeast of Cambridge MA USA, whereas if you look at globe, Saudi Arabia is in the Southeast of Cambridge. This is confusing to find out the rifgt direction of Qibla. Please guide !
July 24th, 2006 18:14
AssalamuAlaikum Dr Hamdani,
I’m glad you asked that question. Your confusion arises from the fact that you are looking a flat map of the earth. If you were to look at a real spherical globe you would note that the qibla IS indeed in the Northeast. For a detailed explanation I would like to point you to http://moonsighting.com/qibla.html. This site also mentions several alternate ways to find out the qibla direction all of which back the direction given by the qibla locator.

Assalaamu aleykum,
Like all the others, I really appreciate your site. I am using it to help a local mosque here in UK to get set up properly.
One point is unclear. Are your bearings in degrees from True North or from Magnetic North? I’m pretty sure it’s True North. Since most people would use your maps in conjunction with a compass, I think that it’s very important that you avoid confusion (and argument!!!) by making this clear.
Meanwhile, jazaakullah
August 4th, 2006 09:08
Walaikum Assalam Peter,
Thank you for your comment. You are correct. The North represented in the maps is the True North and NOT the magnetic North. I hope this takes care of any confusion.

This tool is fabulous and gives you the unbeleivable convinience to layout new mosques. I’m an architect and working on a Mosque project in America. I wasn’t sure about the accuracy of the angle your formula provides. So I started applying this locator on some famous existing mosques. Some of them (incl Badshahi Mosque of Lahore of Mughal era) follow truly the direction suggested by the LOCATOR where as many other famous Mosques which are built in recent past show quite noticeable variance from the angle suggested by the locator. Among them are Faisal Mosque of Islamabad and the largest moque in Middle east (other than the Haramain) which is recently built in Muscat Oman. Could you please comment on this. I would be obliged.

Assalamu’Alaikum Br Ahmed,
I’m sorry I couldn’t tend to your question in time. The equations I used for determining the qibla are based upon spherical trigonometry. These were obtained from Dr. Mohibullah N.Durrani’s website at http://www.islamworld.net/qibla.html . The accuracy of these equations can be verified and have been verified (read last paragraph) to be almost the same using the method of locating the qibla using the sun which is the most reliable method to date. I would suggest you not to rely on just any one method but use as many possible ways to determine the qibla.
As far as commenting on the variance of the angle of certain recent masajid I don’t think I have anything to say about it other than use as many methods known in finding the qibla accurately. And Allah knows best.
Lastly, I would like to ask you to make dua for me and all Muslims. Please try and keep me informed on your findings and the approach you take in finding the qibla.

Thank you.
October 4th, 2006 02:03
Assalam-u-alaikom.
Thanks a lot for the nice job. As you correclty
have mentioned, the direction is given with respect to
True North. Nevertheless, most people use a compass to
find the direction, and so, they have the Magnetic
North instead. As the difference between True and
Magnetic North could be quite consdierable, do you
have any suggestion for people who simply use a compass?
Thanks a lot again,
Mohammad.
October 4th, 2006 02:36
Assalamu alaikum ,
Br Mehdi,The directions given at the locations you mention are correct. Perhaps you might want to readup on this site why this is the correct direction.
Br Mohammad, One of the main features of the qiblalocator is that one does not need to use a compass at all. Just by looking at the map and locating your surrounding landmarks you can face the qibla by following the red line.

AoA,
Really great website… ever since I moved to the US, I have been locating the qibla by myself, sorting out directions with my Islamic Center’s direction of qibla. I wasn’t very sure ever, but now that my friend referred your website, I am more confident about the qibla directions and happy that I’d be able to locate it where ever I go. Thank you!

Assalamu Alaikum
Great tool! I am a Muslim and an Architect who designs masjids as part of my practice. We are reasonably technically savvy and have used Google Earn (along with MS Virtual Earth) for a while now. I have written several emails directly to Google with a comparable idea for them to incorporate INTO Google Earth but they’ve never replied. Your program/website seems to use Google Earth, but does not run in it.
Has Google ever considered incorporating the Qibla locator into the main program? Ideally, the Qibla could be shown graphically as a series of concentric circles growing or eminating outward from the Kabba to any point on earth. This would be an invaluable tool to be able to graphically explain the qibla to Muslims worldwide. Not just locate the Qibla, but EXPLAIN it too. Think about how Google Earth pans from a world view to your location. Perhaps it could do it from the Kabba to your location, following the ever increasing series of concentric circles originating at the Kabba. That’s the idea.
Furthermore, you may consider a link to http://www.Islamicfinder.net. This site can calculate the qibla along with prayer times for any location worldwide. It just lacks a graphical interface and explanation.
Again, GOOD JOB!

I think you should modify the section under “How to use this map” by :
1- removing the phrase “US only” that is written after Zip Code, I live in the UK and I entered my zip code and the tool worked perfectly
2- adding translations to this section helping non-English speaking users to use the tool

Just one feature which im sure will help lots of people is it possible to add a cirle thing so we can turn the map round. This will help in getting our bearings right. eg if a high st is physically to my left but on map its on right id like to turn map so i get my qibla direction better.
October 8th, 2007 13:57
Assalamu alaikum. thank you for simplifying a task and making it available to every one. a great job.
Although some persons have reasons for extreme precision in determining the direction of Qiblah but for day to day usage Muslims only need a reasonably accurate general direction. your program has solved both issues.
May Allah SWT reward you with the best in this world and in the Hereafter, for helping many of us (architects and travelers)- Ameen.
To those who wish to incorporates a link to this program on their site my request is that please do not forget to acknowledge Ibn Masood for his efforts and make a prayer for him.

Just as a suggestion to make this work even more benefitting to the ummah, I think if you could get this “ENDORSED” or “CERTIFIED” by some MUFTIS and ULAMA, it would be even better.
I am not sure where you are, but if you are in the US, I think you should contact Shariah Board in Chicago (Mufti Nawalur Rahman Saab, etc.), or maybe even Mufti Desai Saab of S. Africa (ask-imam.com) or darul-iftaa.com (from UK).
If you could get them to comment on your work, more peopple would use it, and they would even inform others about your work.

I have a development suggestion for ease of use:
if there are two locations with the same name, the search engine gives only one of them and no way to reach the other through the search command. for instance: there are two locations named (Duma) one in Sudan and one in Syria, the search engine givs only the one in Sudan.
The same thing for (Harasta) one in Syria and one in USA.
I suggest if the search results are listed in the margin so the user specifies which one he is looking for / OR if you make it possible for the search box to accept strings like:( Syria, Duma) or (Syria, Harasta)

i have a good suggestion that i think it will be useful. i wish to find the direction of the qibla directly when i enter the qibla locator site without the hastle of trying to find where am i on the map .. i mean if you can take the IP address and at least open the Google map of the city i am in at the moment (from the IP Address ) that will be more than enought as a start point.
good luc

Dear Brother,
This a very helpful Site may god reward you inshalla.
If I may say if you could put some extra effort to this site and if the prayer timings may be added to the major cities that can be found on this website by clicking on the city that is shown on the map.
God Bless AlUma

This locator is pointing north which is wrong I am living in California, USA. It should point at least to the East South. I need explanation for this so the other muslims will not be missleaded. Thanks.

May Allah reward you over and over for this great service. It’s very helpful and to make it even more helpful especially for travellers and people on the way who doesn’t know their exact address, I would suggest you 2 things:
1. mobile access
2. GPS integration
luckily google maps have both, the mobile access and the “track location” that uses GPS, so I hope you can use your overlay on their mobile version afer tracking location

I start In the name of God, The most gracious the most merciful.
First of all, i will like to thank ALlah(swt ) for giving you the oppurtunity to develop this service for the muslim ummah free of charge.
You have done a really nice job, that is why i will like to make a request.
If you could expose the qibla locator webservice interface methods.As it well help in the expansion and integration in other islamic softwares currently developed.
Jazakallahu khair. In anticipation of your favourable response
January 29th, 2008 00:35
Asslam o alikum,
jizakallah….its been a great confusion not to locate Qibla since am a new student in Reading University,UK.There is no sunset or rise here to identify Qibla. I must congratulate you for developing this site.initialy i had some problem in locating the place but Hybrid option made it alot easier. Thank you again.

Great Job!!
One tip for further enhancing the program is to make it automatically read the user’s IP Address and by default have their location displayed on the map. To get a better idea of what I mean check out google gadget “IP Information” by ‘C.K. Yang’..
Thanks!!
February 3rd, 2008 20:32
So great!
May Allah gives you great reward for doing this.

Dear brother,
This is a great work and it shows how can muslims utilize modern technology to improve their reglegous duties performance.
Is it possible to locate persons location from his IP address then gives him automatically his Qibla direction?
I wish you all the success.

Salam wbt,
I came to know the programs via a friend of mine in UK. Thank you for developing it. I tried it with my current NZ address, it worked beautifully. But when I typed in my Malaysian address, it said that the address cannot be found. Only worked if I typed city or state, like Kuala Lumpur but not the smaller suburbs like Gombak, Selangor or Seberang Jaya, Pulau Pinang. Does this mean that the database on Google Earth is incomplete? Syukran, jazakallahu khair for your time and effort.
February 7th, 2008 04:33
A simple but very useful tool. Thank you.
Just an idea. it will be easy for the users if you can provide searchin a place based on Latitude/Langitude numbers.

This is a great project! Thanks for your hard work and efforts. Maybe if there was an embeddable code–that would really help many people. If you could do that, please that would be great!

Assalamualaikum
Jazakallahu khair for the magnificent program and for your hardwork. I find the accuracy and speed astonishing.
However I found that certain addresses would not yield any result. Even when I input the town name “Bandar Baru Bangi” it didn’t show result, whereas when I used manual zooming, I could find the town with its name correctly located. Does this relate to some bug in the Google mapping program which is outside your control?
Again, may Allah reward you. Thanks heaps.
February 10th, 2008 19:56
A.A brother,
It is a great work, not only me but the entire world appreciating your great work. I am impressed with your idea. I am an IT-Professional myself but did not come up with this idea even though I could have done it. Only Allah can reward you for your community work.
If you need any assistance in future towards any development of website, please do let me know. I will be happy to assist you in your project.

Thanks a lot for this work.
Allah will accept your works.
I would like to add somethings;
the website can start directly in the area of the visitors city or place from the ip address and for the cell phone uses the city or area can be found by the phone’s base station informations.
So it will be easier to use the map.
Allah helps you.

Your Qibla Locator is what we need! Well done and very useful.
May I suggest that you incorporate the magnetic pole adjustment to the software so that users have a choice of True North or Magnetic North. Most of us use compass to locate Qibla.
Keep up the good work!

I looked up the qibla direction from Melbourne, Australia. The qibla direction given points to somewhere in Africa, not to Mecca at all. Why is that?

Dear Friends,
Assalamu Alaikum
Jazakum Allah Khair. This is an excellent example of putting the latest technologies to good use. I travel a lot around the world and find your Qibla locator extremely useful. May Allah bless and reward you for this excellent work. Do you realize that inshallah you will get Hasanat everytime someone uses your software and performs his prayers in the correct direction or if someone uses this module to correctly assign the Qibla direction of a mosque.
Finally, I have a simple request. Is it possible to have the module accept longitue and latitude.

I live in North America in the center of the united states. I typed my address in space provided and looked at the map. My zip code is 38103. it gave me a 56.xx from north. I made the map the smallest possible so I can see the Ka3ba location and looked at the red line and I was completely surprised. The red line is going way over where the Ka3ba location is even way over the whole middle east region. Is that a mistake. Please look into that and let me know. I beg of you to look into this. I do not want to pray to the wrong direction. Please help me.

Before the red line started at Makkah, but today for some reason it starts in the red sea, please check.
Thank you very much.
March 26th, 2008 15:58
May Allah reward you with good deeds for every person that finds his direction to Makka through your program.
March 29th, 2008 22:17
Some people have written that the the qiblah points to Iceland instead of Makkah from North America. That is correct, because a map is flat while the Earth is not. Simple as that. See http://moonsighting.com/qibla.html. If you want far, far more detail (more than you need, believe me), get the book by Shaykh Nuh Ha Mim Keller, “Port in a Storm”, and it will forever silence anyone who thinks the Qiblah in North America should be southeast.

Salaam Aleikum,
Thanks for this helpfull website, again. I have two advises for you.
1- The site can start from the visitors’ city, country using the ip address
2- Google have the altitude informations of the places, mountains etc. So it can be calculated when the sun rises and sun down times and the other salah times in a certain point on a map. The result can be compared with the pre calculated salah times and the compared salah times can be shown with the gps coordinations.
I hope this is useful for you.
Allah’s help with you.

Asslamu alaykum wa rahmatAllah Dear Brother,

I checked the direction of several places where I pray, like my house, work, parent’s house, brother’s, sister’s and uncle’s houses and realised we were all slightly out and can inshaAllah now correct the direction using this great service.
Very grateful indeed for this service, alhamdulillah.

If you zoom out, you can see the small red line attached to the pointer’s tip changing its direction as you move it around makkah.
Subhan Allah, nice use of meshup.
keep it up.
April 18th, 2008 11:03
May Allah bless you for this immeasurable service. you will be in everyone’s du’a defacto.
A little trivia point: try zooming out a little and then finding the exact opposite point on the globe to our beloved Mekkah. It lies somewhere between San Diego, Ca and Hawaii near a small island in the Pacific. On that specific point the qibla can be in any direction. Wassalam.
April 22nd, 2008 00:36
I am very grateful to Allah that there are people like you interested of his satisfaction, I hope that Allah reward you as much more than your intention aimed.
Notice: I didn’t get the red line, although I’ve got my home precisely under the + sign.
Thank you so much for the marvelous efforts.

What is the format to key in Lat/Long for the Qibla Locator?
What is the Lat/Long for Qibla used in the Qibla Locator to determine the Qibla Direction?
April 23rd, 2008 23:44
May Allah (swt) bless you for this great charity. You will be in every one’s Du’a defacto. An interesting observation is that somewhere in the mid South Pacific (latitude 21.5 and longitude 140 approx.)there is a theoretical point where our beloved Ka’ba is equidistant and the Qibla is good in all directions.
April 24th, 2008 02:28
As-salaamu ‘alaikum.
May Allah reward you for your efforts. I think that it may be a good idea to have some explanation of why the qiblah is North-East in the USA, and why compasses can’t always be relied upon. Maybe you can put a link to brother Khalid’s moonsighting website.
April 24th, 2008 05:37
Assalamalaikum wa rehmatulah wa barakatahu,

Assalamalaikum,
Does it work on PDA, with windows mobile 6.0 and IE? The web page loads, but does not do anything, when, address is entered and ‘Locate’ button is clicked.
Jazakallah.

I am very grateful that now everyone can find qibla just by visiting this site and entering the postcode.
Allah bless you.
Thank you very much.

Many thanks for the job.
It works very well… I didn’t know about this page before I came to a foreign country.
It is very useful…
Best Regards.

Can you turn this into an iPhone app? (should be relatively easy… iphone is already loaded with google maps) that way, the embedded GPS would automatically show you your location and the qiblah instantly. that would be awesome, inshallah!

MashaAllah, this is a wonderful tool, no matter where you are, this is so helpful!

Salaam, this website is wonderful. However, i had a doubt. I’ve just to a new apartment in Maryland (US) and tried using your tool. But when i zoomed out, it clearly was not pointing toward Makkah. Am I missing something? Please clear my doubt (via email if possible) coz i need to start praying in the right direction. The address for your reference: sweetgum circle, germantown, maryland MD 20874. Thanks!

Hi. I tried qibla finder from Brooklyn, New York and the red line pointed to a northeastern direction. Is that correct? We are at latitude 40.6795, so that seems funny. Selam.
August 14th, 2008 20:54
Sorry for the second post, but I found an explanation of why qibla seems to be to the north and east in North america:

Hello,
There are bugs in the locator. Its not working as i put in a address of Boulder, Colorado. Its showing Qibla to North!
Then another address of Dhaka, Bangladesh also directing wrongly.
Pls check the problem.
August 19th, 2008 13:42
Jazak Allah Khair
August 20th, 2008 07:29
North is not shown in the map . I wonder if it is up by default?

Salaam..
Great tool, May Allah reward for the effort
A small image arrow sign ( preferable at the end or middle of the line) indicting which direction is the Qibla would be helpful
Can this tool be interface with portable GPS system?
An actual www address of ( link) a location ( i.e. Mosque) would be helpful for the purpose of a Hyperlink
see Google maps of Montreal Mosques

Great work ! for Muslim Ummah.. I found it really helpful, i am in vienna and was difficult here to get a location from here.
may allah give you more wisdom to serve your religion.
September 2nd, 2008 20:45
I is great. I am going to move to my new house newly develop land. This website really helps me in directing the qibla. Thank you very much.
Just to update that my in-laws house, the road name is Jalan Tioman dua instead it was read as Jalan Taman Ibu Kota. The location is at Latitude 3.2054; Longitude 101.7124. Could you please change the road name to Jalan Tioman 2.
Thank you.
September 5th, 2008 07:41
Awesome tool SubhanALLAH !!!
May ALLAH s.w.t reward you for this invention which would InshaALLAH perfect the prayers direction of many travelling muslim brothers and sisters going forward.
With Internet phones/pda etc capturing the market with inbuilt GPS, do you think it would be worthwhile for including a feature on the site to automatically find the location using GPS when available. Just a thought…
Jazah’kALLAH Khair
September 8th, 2008 08:01
Thanks for your Qiblalocator services, we use not only finding qibla but also to see where are we, and where we want to market our beautiful areas in Turkey.
Note: If we can point off places aon the map and find again easily, that will be very nice.

Thanks a lot. Excellent job.

Jazakum Allahu Khayran for this amazing effort mashallah..
I have a small bug to report. When I print the page, the red line showing the direction of the Qibla doesn’t show up. Is that fixable?
September 13th, 2008 13:59
jazakallah kairon very useful

thank you very much for this great idea
it will be perfect if you chnage the + for the position with a humanbieng logo….
September 22nd, 2008 05:25
How accurate is the qibla locator. I tried different addresses in UK and the direction provided by QL seems to be off the mark.This becomes obvious when I zoomed out and the line of direction goes to the east of the Arabian peninsula (Iraq etc) rather than the western coast of the Arabian peninsula (Hijaz). Wonder if anyone can explain this! Jazk Allah
September 23rd, 2008 18:22
thank you very much i was in need of directions for prayer and was stuck, this site was very straight forward and easy to understand
September 30th, 2008 18:05
It worked for me! May Allah shower his blessings on you now and forever. I have no words to express my joy at your success.

October 7th, 2008 06:36
salaam, i’ve just started a new placement, forgot to bring my compass; this was really useful
October 11th, 2008 09:05
Dear Brother,
There is some element missing. Your calculated Qıbla direction is the geographical direction (what is measured on the map), or the magnetic (what does compass show) direction. Because of different magnetic deviation at each location, you should indicate that your directions are geographic or magnetic ?
Regards.
October 12th, 2008 08:17
Assalamo Aleikum,
Just like other brothers asked, please clarify the reference point, True North? And may ALLAH THE ONLY POWERFULL reward you for this great ideia.
October 15th, 2008 17:42
Jazakallahukhair. May Allah grant you with the best of rewards. This really helped. Please keep up the good work

This is just amazing, I dint know how can anyone pay you back for the service you have given to the whole world with this fantastic invention. I checked a few masjids and I was astonished by the accuracy they had for Qibla hundreds of years ago, only now with this program one can check how clever those people work who had worked out the direction so correctly. God bless you all who were involved in this venture.
October 18th, 2008 15:41
I pray to Allah Ta’ala to bless you and reward you with the best you deserve.
I can not tell you how happy I was to be able to find the right direction to pray.
Best wishes.
October 19th, 2008 13:41
I am sort of skeptic of this Qibla locator. Why does it point towards Sweden and Finland. Try to zoom out and look at the red line and follow to the direction it is pointing. This is inaccurate. Mecca is not there. I understand the Earth is round but again, the direction is suppose to not change.
