Abstract

This article aims to explain the process of constructing a horizontal sundial with criteria suitable for use in tropical latitudes or regions near the imaginary equator line, specifically in the Surabaya area; and to describe the results of measuring the sundial's criteria through testing based on the local digital time. This research is a type of R&D study using a qualitative approach. The techniques employed include observation, documentation, and experimentation. The primary data source used by the researcher is the gnomon’s shadow exposed to sunlight, while secondary data sources include books, scientific papers, latitude-longitude data, and websites containing information on horizontal sundials. The study found four minimum size measurements based on the technique of adapting the horizontal sundial to subtropical latitudes, with the smallest minimum diameter being 89.974 cm. By using this minimum precision standard, the horizontal sundial’s accuracy increases compared to using sundials with a diameter smaller than the stated size. The larger the horizontal sundial size in tropical latitudes, the greater the impact on its accuracy. Conversely, smaller horizontal sundials in tropical latitudes result in decreased accuracy, with the 89.974 cm diameter serving as a minimum reference for the Surabaya latitude.

Abstract

The methods for determining the qibla direction have developed significantly over time, with many easy and practical instruments now available. These include qibla azimuth calculations, raṣd al-qiblah (qibla observation), compasses, theodolites, mizwala, Google Earth, qiblalocator, and various smartphone-based applications. This study focuses on analyzing the methods for determining the qibla direction and the level of accuracy of the qibla orientation of mosques in Prayungan Village, Sawoo, Ponorogo, based on the theories of local raṣd al-qiblah and Google Earth. This research is a field study using qualitative methods. Data collection techniques include observation and interviews. The author selected four mosques as research samples. The results reveal that two of the four sampled mosques did not use methods from the science of astronomy. Their qibla direction determination relied on village access roads and compasses with unknown levels of accuracy. Meanwhile, the other two mosques used methods based on astronomical studies, namely global raṣd al-qiblah and the theodolite. This significantly influenced the accuracy tests conducted using the local raṣd al-qiblah method and Google Earth. Two out of four mosques, including one that used the global raṣd al-qiblah method, still showed deviations in their qibla direction, while the other two mosques showed no deviation
