Abstract

This study was conducted to examine the accuracy of the Qibla direction of Masjid Qowiyuddin in Jagir Wonokromo, which is a crucial aspect of performing prayers (shalat) for Muslims. The instruments used in this research included the Mizwala Qibla Finder, Right-Angled Triangle, and Theodolite, each serving to ensure the precise measurement of the Qibla direction. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, the researcher collected primary data through interviews and direct field measurements, as well as secondary data from various literature references. The results showed a deviation in the Qibla direction by 23°49'12" to the north from the mosque’s current orientation, indicating the need for an immediate correction to ensure accurate alignment for worship. The urgency of this accuracy test is high, as the correct Qibla direction is a requirement for the validity of prayers. Therefore, it is recommended that the mosque’s management adjust the Qibla direction based on these findings and regularly verify its accuracy to avoid errors that could affect the quality of worship for the congregation.

Abstract

This study analyzes the use of radio telescopes in rukyat al-hilāl observations from the perspective of science and fiqh. In modern astronomy, radio telescopes have become essential for observing celestial objects emitting radio signals, including planets, stars, and other cosmic phenomena. However, its use in observing the Hilāl as a marker of the beginning of the Islamic month is still debated, especially from the perspective of Islamic law (fiqh). This study uses a literature study method with a qualitative descriptive approach. The study's results indicate that this technology is not scientifically suitable for detecting the hilāl and determining the beginning of the Hijri month. Meanwhile, from a fiqh perspective, radio telescopes cannot be considered valid for observing the hilāl in determining the beginning of the Hijri month. Observing the hilāl in determining the beginning of the Hijri month requires a visual vision of the crescent moon object visible after sunset as a sign of the start of the new month in the Hijri calendar.

Abstract

The Sumenep Laju Mosque was built in 1639 AD during the reign of Raden Ario Anggadipa as the XXI King of Sumenep (1626M – 1644M), exactly 5 years before his reign ended. Departing from the background of the construction of the Speed ??Mosque which is already 384 years old. Therefore, the authors are interested in conducting research to test the accuracy of the Qibla direction at the Sumenep Sumenep Mosque. The results showed that the Qibla direction accuracy test at the Sumenep Speed ??Mosque using the sun's shadow method at any time has a deviation from the Qibla azimuth value which should be 8° 31' 51" less to the north. While the Qibla direction accuracy test at the Sumenep Sumenep Mosque using Google Earth has a deviance of 8° 22' 12" less to the north than the proper Qibla azimuth value.
