iPhone Application
The “alQibla” iPhone application enables you to precisely determine the direction of qibla in any location using iPhone’s built-in GPS or the search map feature provided in the application. You can also get Prayer Times for your location in several calculation methods.
Product Info
- Name: alQibla
- Version: 4.0
- Designed by: Hussain Ali Khan
- Powered by: eQibla and PrayTimes
- Download: Apple App Store (free)
Requirements
- iPhone or iPod Touch, OS 3.0+
(OS 4.0 is required for prayer times alerts) - A WiFi or 3G network to load the map
How to use Search?
Search can use the following formats:

- Cities, states, and continents (examples: France, Tehran)
- Famous places (example: Masjid Ul Haram)
- Coordinates (example: +38 34′ 24″, -80 32′ 57″)


Please add the ability to locate the Qibla relative to the position of the sun and it’s shadow.

Salam cmkutty,
I’ve checked it with eQibla.com and if your app shows 258 N on the app then the direction is correct unless youre using some traditional or other methods
Great app for the iPhone, thanks.
Salam,
Thanks for your iPhone App. Can you add the ability of showing Qibla using built-in Compass in iPhone 3GS? It would be great.
Thanks,
Ws Mahdi
we have already added a compass to the app Inshallah we will update the app on the store asap
This is indeed a great job. Regards,

Asslamo alaycom Brothers,
eQibla is a great job! May Allah bless you all and grant you the shifaat of Rasool Allah pbuh.

Great app especially after the recent update
great job and I wish you all the luck
one comment, if there is some different between the exact qibla I think there is 10+\- degree in the built in compass
in the iPhone 3GS error
but the app is great I like it
Assalam Alikum
great applications but I have a traditional Qibla compass and it differs from this application.
Also can you please consider magnetics versus geographic compass direction?
Jazzakum Allah Khairan
Assalam Alikum
@Malik and Sajid
Work is in progress to include a search location facility. This will allow you to search for a city and select it, if your iPhoen doesn’t return any location. We are also working on push notifications and adding adhaan to the app.
@Quttami and @Hassan
Please try recalibrating your device before you find the qibla direction to Mecca. and alos match the Qibla angle by rotating the compass on a flat horizontal surface. The next version will give you options to select between True North and Magnetic North compass
The new version is great but having a problem in prayer timings. It detected my location as Ad Dammam, Saudi Arabia but after selecting the Umm Al-Qura calculation method it is giving the wrong timing. For ewample, it gives the Isha time at 6:40pm whereas the actual timing is 7:09pm. I think you need to address this problem.
You need to add the compass in it also as no body carries the compass to find the North first then the Qibla direction.
Salamalaikum Nadeem,
A fix is already on it way and should appear on the app store as an update within 24 hours.
Thanks for letting us know.

Thanks for letting us know and for the compass, iPhone 3G hasn’t got any magnetometer (compass) hardware, the compass provided by the app is built for the iPhone 3Gs. While it still shows qibla direction you should know the direction to true north.
i am in dubai i download this softeware for my iphone but this not correct i try in mosk there are also wrong direction can you help me
thank u for helping

Please consider adding the direction of the sun for those of us without a compass.
Peace be upon you.
After the recent updata, I’m unable to change the location. It always gives null null
السلام عليكم
الأخوة الاعزاء نشكركم على اضافة اوقات الصلاة في برنامج القبلة
ولكن التاريخ يوجد به خطأ( نقصان يوم)
تركوا منكم تعديله افضل من زيادة ايام من داخل البرنامج
Salaams. Jazakallah for this wonderful app. The update to the qibla finder is very useful. Could you also include the option of azaan at the prescribed times
The app is usefull jhzak allh khair & thanks for update
لاحظت بعض المساجد فيها ميلان بسيط وبعضها. مائلها جدًا عن القبله
واشكر القائمين على البرنامج
Versiyon turkish launge

Dear Brother,
Asalam -u- Alakum
You need to add the compass in it also as no body carries the compass to find the North first then the Qibla direction.
السلام عليكم
أنا استخدم البرنامج في العراق لكن لم تعمل لدي خدمة تحديد المواقع جيدا فهل تعتمد على الأقمار الصناعيه ام على. مزود للخدمه المحلي؟
وطبعا هنالك فرق في توقيت الصلاة بفارق من٤-٦دقائق
وهذه نسبه كبيره بالاضافه الى ان البوصله لاتعمل
شكرًا على البرنامج واتمنى لو يعمل بشكل كامل وجيد في العراق
Aselam alikm
it is great app you add to your Muslim brother all around the world

As salaam Alaikum
@Mehmet
Inshallah I’ll try to include different languages maybe in the future
@Mian
iPod/iPhone 3G hasn’t got the compass hardware, the compass works with iPhone 3Gs
@وائل السامرائي
الرجاء تحديث إلى الإصدار الأحدث على النحو الذي أحرزناه في صلاح مرات أكثر دقة. يرجى إعلامنا إذا كنت تواجه أي مشاكل أكثر.
@Abu
Next release will have push notifications and adhaan inshallah
@Sabir
Could you please search your location manually using Settings>Change Location>Search for location tab. I have updated the app please make sure you have the latest version.
Salam brother,
i want to thank you for such a useful application, since you have added prayer timing, its simply brilliant, but Qibla direction silightly different than the mosque qibla direction some 30′, can u suggest some solution for that please? Thanks again
Ws Qasim,
We recommend following the Map as opposed to a compass. While the compass shows you the correct direction it also needs correct calibration, please tap on the “i” button in the compass tab for information on how to get the right calibration.
It’s good application however after latest update in my iPhone, it shows the wrong time for praying. I am in GMT+8, but the time show GMT.
السلام عليكم أنا مقيم في فرنسا و أواجه مشكله في ما يخص التوقيت ج م ت كما تعلامون في فرنسا يتم زيادة ساعة في شهر مارس و ذالك يترتب عليه تغيير اوقات الصلاة وهدا لم يتم أخده في الحسبان في برنامج الايفون
Salemalikou merci les frères et sœurs pour cette belle aplication qui nous guides dans le sens de ladoration de notre Allah bon continuation inchallah
Salam walikoum. Je suis en France et j’utilise l’application. Je la trouve très réussie mais je souhaite vous proposer un developpement additionnel ou supplémentaire. En effet, il serait judicieux et utile que l’application comporte l’option de l’appel a la prière vocal. Ainsi, puisque nous avons l’heure il faut juste un déclenchement vocal avec un choix de voix a choisir. Je suis persuade que cela est possible techniquement. A bientôt inch’Allah. Mon numéro est le 0616863212. Salam walikoum
