Qibla
Find the direction of the Kaaba for your namaz, from anywhere. The bearing is worked out with the great-circle (shortest path) formula to the Kaaba at 21.4225° N, 39.8262° E, and is measured from true north.
Live compass is off. The dial shows the Qibla angle from true north.
Enter exact coordinates
- The angle above is exact for the location used. It is the angle measured clockwise from true north.
- The live compass depends on your phone’s sensor, which can be off by several degrees. Hold the phone flat, keep it away from magnets, metal and magnetic cases, and move it in a figure 8 to calibrate.
- Phone compasses point to magnetic north. If you know the magnetic declination for your area, enter it above to correct the live compass.
- If you are unsure, confirm the Qibla with your local mosque or your marja’.
Qur’an
Read and listen to the Qur’an by surah or by juz. Al-Fatihah is live with text and recitation. Al-Baqarah and Aal-e-Imran have recitation audio. The rest are coming soon.
No surah found.
The Qur’an is divided into 30 juz to help with recitation, especially in Ramadan. Names come from each juz’s opening words.
Surah al-Fateha is a cure for physical and also spiritual ailments. Without this surah, even the daily prayers are invalid. It is indeed a great treasure that has been given to us by Allah (s.w.t.) through the Holy Prophet (S) and no previous prophet has been given anything like it. This surah is also known as ‘Ummul Kitab’ and ‘Sab’a mathani’.
Reflection text: source to be added.

Nahjul Balagha · نهج البلاغة
Nahjul Balagha (نهج البلاغة), meaning “The Peak of Eloquence,” is a renowned collection of sermons, letters, and sayings attributed to Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (عليه السلام), the cousin and son-in-law of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and the first Imam in Shia Islam. Compiled by Sharif al-Radi in the 10th century CE, the book is divided into three main sections: sermons, letters, and short sayings. It covers a wide range of subjects, including the Oneness of Allah (Tawheed), justice, wisdom, morality, patience, knowledge, leadership, human rights, and the temporary nature of worldly life. Among its most well-known passages are Sermon 1, which discusses creation and the greatness of Allah, Letter 31, containing profound advice to Imam Hasan (عليه السلام), and Letter 53, which outlines principles of just governance in instructions to Malik al-Ashtar. Nahjul Balagha holds great importance in Shia Islam and is also valued for its powerful Arabic language, philosophical depth, and ethical teachings, inspiring readers to pursue faith, justice, humility, and righteous conduct.
