PROBLEMATIKA ARAH KIBLAT DAN APLIKASI PERHITUNGANNYA
Abstract: This paper discusses
the direction of qiblah to Mecca. This direction is determined from any point
or place on the earth's surface through the calculation and measurement
procedures. Therefore, it is basically a kind of measurement to determine a
direction to which Ka’bah can be seen from any point or place on the earth’s
surface. Along with advances in technology, at this time qiblah’s direction can
be determined more accurately than in the period of the Prophet or in the early
days when Islam arrived to Indonesia. Therefore, the accuracy of determining
the qiblah’s direction is adjusted according to the ability and advance of
technology in their days. The determination of position, direction and distance
from one point to another can be carried out using mathematic method and
assisted with visualization software in order that deviation in qiblah’s
direction can be observed either in mosques or other buildings.
