QiblaDaily started from a simple frustration: the sites Muslims reach for daily — prayer times, qibla direction, a dua to say before a flight — are usually built to hold attention rather than answer the question. Ads sit between the Arabic and its meaning. Location data goes somewhere it doesn’t need to.
Prayer times and qibla bearing are calculated in your browser from coordinates that never leave your device. Every dua names its collection, hadith number and grading, so it can be checked rather than taken on faith in a website. A companion app is in development, built to the same rule: nothing about where you are or when you pray is stored on a server.
The site is maintained by a small team and reviewed against an editorial policy that sets out how sources are chosen and checked.
