Abstract

ABSTRAK Akurasi arah kiblat masjid masih menjadi problem di masyarakat Indonesia, termasuk di Pulau Belitung. Penelitian yang dilakukan oleh Reno Ismanto, dkk, di Pulau Belitung pada tahun 2023 menemukan dari 14 masjid yang menjadi sampel Penelitian, didapati 8 masjid memerlukan kalibarsi ulang karena arah kiblatnya belum akurat. Salahsatu faktor adalah penggunaan alat sederhana dalam melakukan pengukuran serta kurangnya SDM yang menguasai metode pengukuran arah kiblat. Dengan menggunakan metode PAR, pengabdian yang berjudul "Kaderisasi Ahli Falak dan Pendampingan Kalibrasi Arah Kiblat Masjid di Pulau Belitung, Provinsi Kepulauan Bangka Belitung" ini bertujuan untuk melatih penyuluh, staf Kementerian Agama dan kelompok yang berkaitan dengan masjid, kemampuan ilmu falak dasar dan kemampuan mengukur arah kiblat masjid menggunakan alat Istiwaaini yang mengacu kepada cahaya matahari. Pengabdian dilaksanakan dengan dua metode, yaitu metode klasikal dan non klasikal. Pelaksanaan pengabdian tergolong efektif. Hal ini ditunjukkan terjadi peningkatan pengetahuan dan kemampuan melakukan pengukuran arah kiblat dengan metode istiwaaini oleh subjek pengabdian, sebagaimana diukur dari nilai pretest dan postest yaitu dengan perbandingan 84,80 49,77. Kata Kunci: Pemberdayaan Masyarakat, Pengukuran Arah Kiblat, Pulau Belitung.  ABSTRACT The accuracy of the direction of the Qibla of mosques is still a problem in Indonesian society, including on Belitung Island. For example, research conducted by Reno Ismanto, et al., on Belitung Island in 2023 found that out of 14 mosques that were sampled in the study, 8 mosques needed to be calibrated because the direction of the Qibla was not accurate. One of the factors is the use of simple tools and the lack of human resources who master the method of measuring the direction of the Qibla. By using the PAR method, the community service entitled "Cadreship of Astronomy Experts and Assistance in Calibration of the Direction of the Qibla of Mosques on Belitung Island, Bangka Belitung Islands Province" aims to train instructors, staff of the Ministry of Religion and groups related to mosques, basic astronomy skills and the ability to measure the direction of the Qibla of mosques using the Istiwaaini tool which refers to sunlight. The community service was carried out using two methods, namely the classical and non-classical methods. The implementation of the community service was relatively effective. This shows that there is an increase in knowledge and ability to measure the direction of the Qibla using the istiwaaini method by the devotion of the subjects, as measured by the pretest and posttest values, namely with a ratio of 84.80 49.77. Keywords: Community Empowerment, Qibla Direction Measurement, Belitung Island.

Abstract

Accurate Qibla orientation is essential for the validity of Muslim prayer; inconsistencies in both traditional and modern determination methods continue to produce significant inaccuracies, particularly in archipelagic regions. This study assesses the accuracy of Qibla direction in mosques across the Bangka Belitung Islands, Indonesia, and evaluates the methods used to determine it. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining field measurements of 70 mosques using the solar shadow (istiwā’ainī) method and GPS-based applications with semi-structured interviews. Measured orientations were compared with geodetically calculated azimuths, and spatial distribution patterns were analyzed using Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The results show that only 30% of mosques are accurately aligned (≤2° deviation), while 54% are less accurate and 16% are significantly misaligned (>10°). GIS-based analysis reveals spatial variability in deviation patterns, indicating unequal access to technical knowledge and measurement tools. This study contributes to integrating astronomical, geodetic, and geospatial approaches for Qibla determination and highlights the need for standardized verification practices in geographically fragmented regions.
