## What is عرض القبلة?

Show Qibla points you toward the Kaaba in Mecca, wherever you are in the world.

Open the app and the needle turns to the Qibla straight away, with your exact distance to Mecca below it. No sign-up, no account, no clutter — just the direction you need before prayer.

BEAUTIFUL BY DESIGN

Choose from six hand-crafted compass faces — brass, walnut, silver, lapis, marble and ruby — each rendered in fine detail. Pair any of them with twelve backgrounds, from the tawaf at the Kaaba to a moonlit desert, or set a favourite photo of your own from your library. Every combination works together, so you can make it yours.

ACCURATE ANYWHERE

The direction is calculated using the great-circle bearing to the Kaaba — the same method used in navigation — so it stays accurate whether you are a few kilometres from Mecca or on the other side of the planet. The distance is shown in kilometres and miles.

YOUR LOCATION STAYS ON YOUR PHONE

Show Qibla works out the direction entirely on your device. Your coordinates are never uploaded, never stored on a server, and never shared. There is no tracking, no advertising identifier, and no request to follow you across other apps.

IN YOUR LANGUAGE

Fully translated into English, Arabic, French, Turkish, Urdu, Indonesian, Bengali, Persian, Malay and Hausa, with full right-to-left layout support.

TIPS

• If the needle drifts or sticks, move your phone in a figure-8 to recalibrate the compass. Magnets in cases and car mounts can interfere with it.
• Hold the phone flat, screen up, for the steadiest reading.

Show Qibla has served Muslims around the world for over a decade. This is the app rebuilt from the ground up — same trusted direction, an entirely new look.

## Frequently asked questions about عرض القبلة

### What does this app do?
