Questions
What is the Qibla?
The Qibla is the direction of the Kaaba in Makkah, which Muslims face in salah.
Is the Qibla direction measured from true north or magnetic north?
The angles on this page are from true north. A phone compass is usually corrected to true north automatically. A handheld magnetic compass can be off by a few degrees depending on where you are.
Why does the Qibla from the UK or America point north-east?
Because the shortest path on a globe follows a great circle, not a straight line on a flat map. From London or New York, that path to Makkah heads east and slightly north or south.
