From the above background, the researcher felt the need to explore further the direction of the mosque’s qibla with the focus of research namely on the methods carried out in deternmining the direction of the Darunna’im mosque’s qibla and accuracy of the direction of the mosque by using several methods of determining the qibla direction (Qibla with Theodolite, Compass and Rashdul qibla).

From the result of the analysis of the data that the researcher got in the field, it can be concluded that the direction of the Darunna’im Mosque was deviated. The measurementsof the mosque’s qibla direction using Google Earth shows the direction of 292° 44’ 56” while the direction of the mosque is 281° 50’ 00”, a deviation of 10° 54’ 56” occurs. Then using theodolite on May 28, 2019 at 16:19 WIB showing the direction of 0° 1’ 16.62” while the direction of the Mosque is 349° 07’ 32.76”, then a deviation of 10° 53’ 43.86” occurs.
