(Knowledge) regarding 'Hisab dan Praktikal Arah Kiblat'. On 11th April 2107, Penang State Mufti Department agreed to held a one-day workshop on Falak where the contents of
the workshop included of Introduction to Qiblah,
Calculation Method using formula, Practical Method of Floor Plan and Practical
Method using Compass. The workshop is taken place at ISDEV open library at Building D04.
We have
certainly seen the turning of your face.
(O Muhammad), toward the heaven, and We will surely turn you to a qiblah with which you will be pleased. So turn your face toward al-Masjid al-Haram. And wherever you
(believers) are, turn your faces towards it (in prayer). Indeed, those who have
been given the Scripture well know that it is the truth from their Lord. And Allah is not unaware of what they do.
(Al-Baqarah (02) : 144)

ISDEV students participated in calculating the right direction of qiblah |
Learning about Qiblah is important because it gives us a
sense of unity, uniformity, and
discipline. If there were no Qiblah, we would
pray as isolated groups with no connection to one another. Qiblah gives us a
focus, a common sense of purpose, and direction.
The instruments needed to determine the right
Qiblah are traditional book logarithms, scientific
calculator, coordinate geographies
such as GPS, Google Earth, Mekah
coordinate, and also compass.
