Knowing the direction of the Qibla without the internet can be challenging, especially if you are in a remote location or do not have access to modern technology.

However, you can still determine the direction of the Qibla with some simple and fairly accurate manual methods. Here are some ways you can try:

Use a Conventional Compass

A compass is a simple tool that can help determine the direction of the Qibla:

  • Find out the geographical position of the Kaaba from your location. In Indonesia, the Kaaba is located in the northwest.
  • Point the compass until the needle points north.
  • Move the compass to the northwest to find the Qibla.

Relying on the Position of the Sun

The sun is a natural tool that can help you determine the direction of the Qibla:

  • Know the time when the sun is directly above the Kaaba. This information is usually available on an Islamic calendar or prayer time app.
  • At that time, the shadow of a perpendicular object will point in the opposite direction to the qibla.

If you don't know the time, use the sunrise (east) and sunset (west) directions to estimate northwest.

Analog Clock Method

If you have an analog watch, use the following method:

  • Position the clock so that the short hand points towards the sun.
  • The midpoint between the number 12 and the direction of the short hand is south.
  • From the south, swipe northwest to find the direction of Qibla.

With the various methods that have been discussed, now you can find the direction of the Qibla more easily and practically, either using applications, cellphone features, or manual methods.

Today's technology makes it easier for us to perform worship more precisely and efficiently, wherever we are. Don't hesitate to choose the method that best suits your needs, and make sure your worship continues smoothly.
