Abstract

The Aji Saka calendar system is one of the oldest lunisolar calendars used in the Land of Java, several elements in the Aji Saka Calendar system are still being adopted in the Javanese Islamic Calendar. The Aji Saka calendar was created in 78 AD, by a figure from Hindustan named Aji Saka. This paper is the result of a literature study (Library Research) that is analytically descriptive in nature which describes the Javanese Saka Calendar in the Description of Candrasengkala and Serat Pustakaraja Purwa with a historical approach. Until finally during the reign of Mataram Islam under the leadership of Sultan Agung, the Saka calendar was reformed and combined with the Hijri Calendar to become the Islamic Javanese Calendar that we know today.

Abstract

Al-Qur’an as the holy book of Muslims contains many themes of discussion in it, ranging from faith, sharia, stories and science. One of the discussions related to science is assembling celestial bodies. Buruj is one of the celestial bodies mentioned in Al-Qur'an, in total there are three verses that discuss the buruj as a celestial body. In some literature, buruj is interpreted as a big star, a big planet, a constellation, and a set of stars. From these meanings, a common thread can be drawn that the buruj is understood as a set of stars. In the previous research used an interpretive perspective, this paper tries to understand the meaning of the buruj more broadly by using the perspective of astronomical observations conducted by the OIF UMSU team. From the observations, it is known that there are several types of sets of stars, such as constellations, open star clusters, globular star clusters, and galaxies. So that the meaning of the buruj in the Qur'an as a celestial body is a set of beautiful stars that humans can observe, not limited to the constellations which number 12, 48 or 88.

Abstract

Atmospheric humidity can affect the Rukyatul Hilal process. The greater the humidity the more difficult it is to observe the hilal, because the greater the humidity the more moisture and the more cloud growth. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine the level of atmospheric humidity that can affect hilal visibility at the location of Rukyatul Hilal Loang Baloq Beach. This type of research includes field research (field reseach) using a qualitative approach. The source of data from this study is the result of direct observation to the research location and collecting data from several institutions, namely, the Ministry of Religious Affairs of West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) and the Lombok Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG). The findings of this study that atmospheric humidity affects Rukyatul Hilal on Loang Baloq Beach, because Loang Baloq Beach has a high level of atmospheric humidity. So it is difficult to observe the hilal image. If the state of atmospheric humidity is 70%, then the state of the sky will be clear. If the state of atmospheric humidity is 70% – 80% then the state of the sky will be cloudy, and if the state of atmospheric humidity is 85% then the state of the sky will rain. Atmospheric humidity at Loang Baloq Beach has an average of 84.5% throughout 2022, with this figure atmospheric humidity will be able to affect visibility on the hilal at Loang Baloq Beach.

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.

Abstract

The Fixed Star Book, also known as Suwar Al-Kawakib, is one of the most significant pieces of medieval Arabic astronomy literature. Around 964 AD, Persian astronomer Abdul-Rahman Al-Sufi wrote it. Ptolemy's Almagest is referred to in Al-Sufi's work, which incorporates a thorough star list and definite star diagrams for every one of the 48 old style heavenly bodies. This article discusses how to use data from the constellations in the Suwar Al-Kawakib, or book of fixed stars, to determine the direction of Qibla. In this research article, the author tries to connect the information in the fixed star book about the direction of the Qibla and the constellations. According to the book, it makes sense that the Little Bear heavenly body (Ursa Minor) is the group of stars closest to the north pole. Al Farqadain and al-Juday are Arab names for the two brightest stars in this constellation. The position of Al-Juday, which is the brightest star at the tail's end, is used to find the Qibla, or the direction of Mecca. This investigation aims to determine whether one of the stars mentioned in Suwar Al-Kawakib can be measured to determine the Qibla's direction, however in this time the relevance of north star or polaris in determinin the direction of Qobla is considered a form of folk astronomy with sufficient precision the tolerance of Qibla deviation.

Abstract

Zij al-Sultani was written by Ulugh Beg in 1437 AD , that is a connection with the constellation catalog in the medieval century after the book of Fix Stars by al-S?ufi. This star catalog contains comparisons in addition to several stars that are not indexed inside the book of Fixed Star. It is far known that there are twenty-seven stars updated by Ulugh Beg in Zij al- Sult?a?ni. One of the twenty-seven stars is used to determine the direction of the Qibla for some areas of Islam. The Andalusians used Canopus, a member of the constellation Carina, to determine the direction of the Qibla. In the end, this paper is expected to be a guide to look back at the journey of hisab rukyat and Islamic astronomy. That idea not only to supporting find renewal within the development of Islamic astronomy also encourages understanding comparisons between the classical books inside the medieval century. Currently, just a little discussion may be discovered concer this catalog of Zij al-Sult?a?ni by Ulugh Beg.

Abstract

Zij al-Jadid ibn Asy-Syatir is a collection of astronomical tables that appeared before Zij al-Jadid ibn Asy-Syatir Ulugh Beg by applying the heliocentric theory paradigm. The theory is Ptolemy's geocentric theoretical model. Ibn Asy-Syatir was able to come out with a new heliocentric hypothesis and break the theory presented by Ptolemy, namely geocentric. Ibn Asy-Syatir utilizes this theory as a basis for producing Zij al-Jadid ibn Asy-Syatir. The purpose of this research is to analyze the method for the beginning of the lunar month Zij al-Jadid ibn Asy-Syatir which in Zij This has accepted the heliocentric hypothesis. This is significant to study since it differs from the understanding of the theory of the movement of celestial bodies Zij Sultani Ulugh Beg which arose later, but is nevertheless founded on the assumptions of Ptolemy's Geocentric theory. This study employs the method of library research with a descriptive approach. The findings of this study suggest that the first determination of the lunar month Zij al-Jadid ibn Asy-Syatir using the reckoning method haqiqi bi at-taqrib. In addition, the uniqueness of Zij is the zero point measurement of Tul al-Balad/Longitude of Place is 60° as measured from Sahil al-Bahr min Jihah al-Garb.

Abstract

The Dayak Kantuk have a farming custom where the timing of activities is based on the position of celestial bodies. Farming activities are carried out sequentially including looking for land, slashing, cutting, burning, planting rice seeds, clearing grass, harvesting and Gawai Dayak. This research is included in ethnoastronomy research. Data collection was carried out by means of a literature study. Then the data were analyzed using content analysis and observation techniques. The results showed that the Dayak Kantuk used the luni-solar calendar system to determine farming time. The position of the stars is used as a tool to determine the season. The connection with astronomy is that the determination of the month is equally based on the moon in the sky. However, because the Dayak Kantuk also apply the seasons as the basis for the calendar, the month counts cannot go hand in hand. On the other hand, global rashdul qibla occurs exactly a week after the Gawai Dayak event, so that the Dayak Kantuk Muslim community can measure the Qibla direction exactly a week after the Gawai event.

Abstract

This research was conducted to investigate the method of determining the Qibla direction used at the Selaparang Kedatuan Tomb, East Lombok, as well as to re-examine the accuracy of the Qibla direction of the tomb. This research is qualitative research that uses a field approach. Research data was collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. Meanwhile, the data analysis process is carried out through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion. The results of the research show that determining the direction of the Qibla of the Selaparang Kedatuan Tomb in East Lombok uses a method derived from the development of the Istiwa' stick which applies a concept that is identical to the theory of Spherical Trigonometry. Meanwhile, the results of the Qibla direction calibration that was carried out using istiwa'aini showed that there was a deviation in the Qibla direction of the Selaparang Kedatuan Tomb, East Lombok, from the Kaaba of Thus, the direction of the tomb's Qibla is currently inaccurate. This condition occurred .?9.62?48 ?26 because the method for measuring the direction of the Qibla used by its predecessors at that time still had many shortcomings.

Abstract

Al-Muttaqin Mosque, Tanjunganyar Village, Gajah District, Demak Regency uses the bencet as a tool to determine prayer times, as its activity refers to the movement of the sun. In fact, the people there dub the bencet as “jam akhirat”. The purpose of this study is 1) to learn how to use bencet to determine Istiwa time, especially midday prayer time at Al-Muttaqin Mosque, Tanjunganyar Gajah Demak village. 2) To find out how accurate the bencet is at the start of determining the istiwa’ time at Al-Muttaqin Mosque, Tanjunganyar Gajah Demak village. This study is a descriptive analytical study in which all data were collected through observation, interviews, and note-taking techniques. Research results show that 1) the method used to determine the initial time for zuhur is referring to the mosque bell and then transforming it into the wall clock. That is, setting the long hand of the wall clock to the number 12 when the mosque bell shows the sun at zawal or the shadow of the gnomon right in the middle of the number 12 on the bell. For this case, 4 minutes of ihtiyat time is added. 2) Compared with the reckoning in Syawariq Al-Anwar's book, there is a difference of 00 0" 33.53' and the formula in the book Ilmu Falak 1 (Penentuan Awal Waktu Salat & Arah Kibat Seluruh Indonesia) has a difference of 00 00' 38.47", so that the jam at the Al-Muttaqin Mosque, Tanjunganyar Gajah Demak Village is classified as Bencet that is still accurate and well maintained.
