Studi Komparasi Terhadap Akurasi Istiwaaini Dengan Kompas Kiblat Android “Muslim Go” Dalam Pengukuran Arah Kiblat

Abstract

This article discusses the comparison of the accuracy of two tools that are often used to measure the Qibla direction, namely Istiwaaini and the Qibla Compass Android Muslim Go. In addition to knowing and studying the working principles and calculation methods applied to the two tools, this study also aims to compare their accuracy in determining the Qibla direction. This study is a field research with a qualitative approach. Data was collected by measuring the Qibla direction directly at the Great Mosque of Central Lombok using these two tools. Meanwhile, the analysis method uses astronomical data analysis and descriptive data analysis. The results showed that Istiwaain showed more accurate results compared to the Muslim Go android Qibla compass. The inaccuracy of the results displayed by the Muslim Go android Qibla compass could be due to the absence of magnetic declination correction in determining the Qibla azimuth. Keywords: Istiwaain, Qibla Compass Android Muslim Go, Qibla Direction Measurement Method, Accuracy
