How to find it

Face true north, then turn 293° clockwise — roughly toward the west-north-west. A phone compass or prayer app set to this bearing will point you to the Kaaba. Singapore's magnetic declination is tiny (about 0.2° east), so a magnetic compass is close enough. Mosques and surau are already aligned, so inside them you simply follow the prayer rows.

What the qibla is

The qibla is the direction Muslims face during salah — toward the Kaaba in the Masjid al-Haram in Mecca. From Singapore that is a great-circle bearing of roughly 293°, which on a globe heads north-west across the Indian Ocean rather than due west.

Common questions

What is the qibla direction in Singapore?

The qibla in Singapore is about 293° — west-north-west — measured clockwise from true north. It points toward the Kaaba in Mecca.

Is the qibla the same everywhere in Singapore?

Yes. Singapore is small enough that the bearing to Mecca is effectively identical island-wide, so the same ~293° applies from any neighbourhood.

How do I face the qibla without a compass?

Mosques and prayer rooms in Singapore are already aligned to the qibla. At home, a phone compass or prayer app pointing to 293° from true north will face you correctly.
