The Ka’bah is a building in the middle of the holiest mosque in Islam, the Haram Mosque in Mecca, Hejaz, Saudi Arabia. The Kaaba is the most sanctified place in Islam. The command of prayer facing the Ka’bah or better known as the Qibla name. The sacred building around Kakbah is known as the Masjid al-Haram or the holy mosque.
One of the existing Pillars of Islam requires that every Muslim who is able to perform the pilgrimage once in a lifetime. The Hajj and Umrah section has a name called tawaf, which is to rotate 7 (seven) times around the Ka’bah in a counter-clockwise direction.
To determine the direction of Qibla which is sufficient precision can be done by looking at the Longitude and Latitude coordinates of the Ka’ba location in Mecca with each point of orientation location using a GPS device. For these needs, the results of Ka’bah coordinate measurements can be used as a reference for determining the direction of Qibla which is 21 ° 25‘21.2 “in North Latitude and 039 ° 49‘34.1” in East Longitude, and height of 304 meters above sea level.
A simple way can also be done to adjust the Qibla direction, namely at certain times 2 (two) times in one year when the Sun is right above Mecca or Ka’bah. If the observer at that time looks at the Sun and takes a straight line from the Sun and cuts the horizon or perpendicular horizon then the observer will get the right position of the Qibla direction without doing the calculation. Every year, the Sun will be in a position just above Mecca every May 28 at 16.18 WIB and every July 16 at 16.27 WIB.
