Questions
What coordinates does this page use for the Kaaba?
21.4225° north, 39.8262° east on the WGS84 ellipsoid, matching the GeoNames Kaaba record. Bearing uses the great-circle (initial) formula, not a rhumb line.
What is the qibla from New York and London?
New York: 58.5° (northeast), 10,306 km. London: 119.0° (southeast), 4,794 km. The city table on this page lists ten more cities computed with the same function.
Why does a phone compass disagree by a few degrees?
Magnetometers need a figure-eight calibration and can drift 2–5° near metal. The numeric bearing on this page is independent of the magnetometer. Confirm locally if you are unsure; Ihsan does not issue a religious ruling.
