Abstract

Determining the Qibla direction for Muslim burials is both a legal and astronomical concern. Yet some indigenous Makassar communities in Gowa Regency, South Sulawesi, continue to rely on Allata, a local tradition for orienting graves through inherited knowledge, prayer, and intuition rather than calibrated instruments. This study examines the accuracy of Allata from an Islamic astronomy perspective using an ethnographic approach and field-based Qibla measurements with Istiwa’aini and a Suunto compass. The findings show deviations of 17°–23° from the required Qibla azimuth of 292°, indicating a substantial gap between customary orientation and astronomical calculation. These deviations matter because burial orientation is not merely a spatial arrangement; it also concerns the religious propriety of placing the deceased toward the Ka‘bah, particularly within the Shafi‘i legal tradition. The findings suggest that Allata should be preserved as a living cultural practice, but its application requires astronomical verification. Structured training for Parewa, simple measurement tools, verified cemetery markers, and collaboration with ‘ilm al-falak experts are needed to improve Qibla accuracy without weakening the cultural authority of the tradition.

Abstract

This research addresses the issue of inaccurate Qibla direction by evaluating the degree of deviation at the Assalam Mosque and the public cemetery in Timbuseng Hamlet, Takalar, and analyzing it based on tolerance limits established in Islamic Jurisprudence (Fiqh) and Astronomy (Ilmu Falak). The study aims to examine the conformity of the Qibla direction at these case study locations with the actual direction towards the Ka'bah. The methods employed include measuring the existing azimuth using Google Earth, followed by field measurements with a compass and Istiwa'aini to obtain real values for the existing azimuth and the Qibla azimuth. The measurement results were then analyzed by applying Qibla tolerance theories. The findings reveal that the Qibla direction of the Assalam Mosque has a deviation of 12°, which, according to the Shafi'i school of jurisprudence, far exceeds the tolerance limit. Similar results were found in the grave orientations within the cemetery complex, which showed deviation variations between 21° and 30°. However, from the perspectives of the Hanafi, Maliki, and Hanbali schools, the deviations occurring in both the mosque and the graves remain within permissible limits. These findings confirm a discrepancy between field conditions and sharia standards, particularly when referring to the Shafi'i school, which is predominantly adhered to by Muslims in Indonesia, including in Takalar. Therefore, this study recommends correction and massive socialization regarding the importance of Qibla accuracy, as well as the use of more precise calibration tools such as theodolites dan Istiwa'aini.

Abstract

Background: Strengthening Islamic astronomy literacy is essential to ensure that qibla direction education is grounded not only in religious principles but also in scientific and technological approaches. Patna Witya School in Thailand requires practical assistance in understanding geographical coordinates, visualizing the direction of the Kaaba, and performing basic qibla measurements. Objective: This program aimed to enhance students’ Islamic astronomy literacy, understanding of qibla direction, and practical skills in using Google Earth and the Istiwa’aini method. Methods: The program was conducted over two days, comprising eight hours of instruction and involving 30 students. The activities included a pre-test, instructional sessions, a Google Earth demonstration, hands-on practice of the Istiwa’aini method through solar-shadow observations, guided discussion, and a post-test. Results: The program demonstrated a substantial improvement in participants’ understanding of Islamic astronomy and qibla direction. The mean pre-test score increased from 43.87 to 92.83 on the post-test, representing an absolute increase of 48.96 points and a relative increase of 111.6%. These findings indicate that the training was effective in strengthening participants’ conceptual understanding and practical skills in qibla direction determination. Conclusion: Integrating religious knowledge with science and technology through Google Earth and the Istiwa’aini method provides an effective approach to qibla direction education. This integrated approach can serve as a practical model for strengthening digital religious literacy in Muslim educational institutions. Keywords: google earth, islamic astronomy, istiwa’ aini, qibla direction, digital religious literacy ___________________________________________________________ Abstrak Latar belakang: Penguatan literasi astronomi Islam diperlukan agar pembelajaran arah kiblat tidak hanya bersifat normatif, tetapi juga berbasis sains dan teknologi. Patna Witya School Thailand membutuhkan pendampingan praktis dalam memahami koordinat geografis, visualisasi arah Ka’bah, dan pengukuran kiblat sederhana. Tujuan: Kegiatan ini bertujuan meningkatkan literasi astronomi Islam, pemahaman arah kiblat, serta keterampilan siswa dalam menggunakan Google Earth dan metode Istiwa’aini. Metode: Program dilaksanakan selama dua hari dengan total delapan jam dan melibatkan 30 siswa. Tahapan kegiatan meliputi pre-test, penyampaian materi, demonstrasi Google Earth, praktik metode Istiwa’aini melalui pengamatan bayangan matahari, diskusi, dan post-test. Hasil: Kegiatan menunjukkan peningkatan pemahaman yang signifikan. Nilai rata-rata pre-test sebesar 43,87 meningkat menjadi 92,83 pada post-test. Peningkatan sebesar 48,96 poin atau 111,6% menunjukkan keberhasilan pelatihan dalam memperkuat pemahaman konseptual dan keterampilan aplikatif peserta. Kesimpulan: Integrasi agama, sains, dan teknologi melalui Google Earth dan Istiwa’aini efektif diterapkan dalam pembelajaran arah kiblat dan direkomendasikan sebagai model penguatan literasi digital religius di sekolah Muslim.

Abstract

Penelitian ini mengeksplorasi pengaruh lingkungan non-Muslim terhadap kesehatan mental pedagang Muslim di Yala, Thailand. Dalam konteks sosial yang mayoritas non-Muslim, pedagang Muslim sering menghadapi stigma dan diskriminasi, yang berdampak negatif pada kesehatan mental mereka, termasuk perasaan cemas, depresi, dan penurunan harga diri. Meskipun terdapat tantangan yang signifikan, pedagang Muslim menunjukkan ketahanan dengan mengembangkan mekanisme adaptasi, seperti membangun jaringan sosial, mengandalkan praktik spiritual, dan mengikuti pelatihan keterampilan. Selain itu, kondisi kesehatan lingkungan dan ekonomi turut mempengaruhi kesejahteraan mental mereka. Temuan penelitian ini menekankan perlunya program bimbingan dan konseling yang sensitif terhadap konteks budaya, serta peningkatan kesadaran masyarakat mengenai isu kesehatan mental. Dengan demikian, penelitian ini memberikan wawasan penting untuk merumuskan kebijakan yang mendukung kesehatan mental komunitas pedagang Muslim di Yala. Dengan demikian, penelitian memberikan wawan penting untuk merumuskan kebijakan yang mendukungkesehatan mental komunitas pedagang muslim di yala, serta mendorong dialog interkomunitas yang kontruktif untuk meningkatkan saling pengertian dan tolerasi.
