Abstract

Qibla is something that must be known by Muslims. The accuracy of the Qibla direction must be made as much as possible towards the Kaaba. The Great Mosque of Kediri City is a very historic mosque, the age of the Great Mosque of Kediri City is currently around 242 years, not a few people from inside or outside the city who want to establish prayer services at the mosque. To find out the accuracy of the direction of the great mosque at Kediri, an accuracy data analysis was performed using the Rashdul Qibla method and the Istiwa Stick. With the conclusion of the direction of the Qibla of the Great Mosque, the city of Kediri experienced a slope of 3 ° within a period of 17 years, but the Great Mosque of the City of Kediri still had a proper tolerance of the Qibla direction, this was based on the affirmation of the National-level Falak Science experts who were born in Semarang on the 5th August 1954, namely Slamet Hambali that the maximum tolerance of the direction of the Qibla is equal to 3 °, although it is not right facing the Kaaba, it still enters the Al-Haram Mosque area.
