Qibla formula — documented

Formula: great-circle bearing from your latitude/longitude to the Kaaba (21.3891° N, 39.8579° E). Bearing = atan2(sin(deltaLon)×cos(lat2), cos(lat1)×sin(lat2) − sin(lat1)×cos(lat2)×cos(deltaLon)), converted to degrees 0–360° from North. Inputs are manual latitude/longitude — this page does NOT request your location, does NOT use a compass, and does NOT detect direction automatically. Use a physical compass and check with your mosque. Edge case: at the Kaaba itself bearing is undefined — tool shows 0°. High-latitude, magnetic declination, and device compass errors are NOT handled here.
