The Qibla from Ahmedabad, India faces approximately 273° from true north, with the Holy Kaaba in Mecca about 3,368 km away. Qibla.now calculates the great-circle bearing from your coordinates so you can face the right direction wherever you pray. The prayer times below are computed using standard astronomical formulas; you can pick a different calculation method or madhab inside the app.
Why are there two Qibla bearings?
The Qibla bearing is calculated from true north. A magnetic compass points toward magnetic north, which differs by location and changes gradually over time. Qibla.now uses the World Magnetic Model 2025 to estimate that local difference.
Compass accuracy
The calculated Qibla bearing is geographic. Actual compass readings can be affected by your device sensors, nearby metal, magnets and electrical equipment.
