Abstract

Qibla direction calibration is an effort to ensure the accuracy of the correct qibla direction. This study aims to determine the accuracy of the qibla direction indicated in various cafes in Sungai Penuh City by comparing it precisely with the correct direction through accurate geographical measurements and to examine the Islamic legal perspective on the accuracy of the qibla direction that does not point exactly to the Kaaba or causes deviation in performing prayers. This research is qualitative research with descriptive analysis, which describes the position of the qibla direction of each cafe before calibration and after this research was conducted, so that new findings on the true qibla direction were obtained. The primary data source was five pieces of initial qibla direction data from modern cafes in Sungai Penuh City that were found directly. The data collection techniques used were field observation and documentation. The results of this study found that the qibla direction of five cafes in Sungai Penuh City were all deviated from the correct direction, namely Shifa Donat 3°, Dapoer Qdoes 4°, Cafe Dapur Bunda 11°, Cafe Syahamma 17°, and Puji Sera 28°. Meanwhile, according to experts, a mosque/prayer room is considered accurate if the direction of the building does not deviate more than 2° from the direction of the Kaaba. A deviation of 0° 6' 36“ and -0° 10' 12” from the position of the Kaaba is the permissible limit for facing the qibla in Indonesia, and the magnitude of the qibla direction deviation is only 6 arc minutes.

Abstract

This study examines the differences among traditional leaders in determining the direction of the qibla for public cemeteries of indigenous communities in the village of Hamparan Rawang, Sungai Penuh City. Traditional leaders claim that their respective communities' graves face the correct direction of the qibla. The purpose of this study is to explain the causes of these differences and the methods used to determine the direction of the qibla for cemeteries. This study uses a qualitative method with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and literature review with descriptive analysis. The results of this study indicate that the cause of the contestation between indigenous groups is due to several factors, namely differences in customs, ideology, and interpretation of religious values towards culture. In determining the direction of the qibla, traditional leaders only use two methods, namely: first, referring to the graves of ancestors or previous graves. Second, following the direction of the nearest mosque.
