Pemberdayaan Perempuan melalui Kalibrasi Arah Kiblat di Masjid Al-Irshan Minasa Upa Kota Makassar
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This activity aims to improve the accuracy of the Qibla direction and empower women in religious activities at Al-Irshan Mosque, Minasa Upa, Makassar City. Through a community-based participatory approach, women from the mosque study groups were involved in theoretical and practical training on Qibla calibration using the istiwa’aini method and digital technology. The measurement results revealed a deviation of 7 degrees in the Qibla direction, which may affect the validity of prayer. The involvement of women in this activity had a positive impact on enhancing their understanding and technical skills, while also strengthening their active role in religious affairs. This program not only improves the quality of worship but also fosters a more inclusive and empowered community. It is expected that this initiative can serve as a model for other mosques to correct their Qibla direction and sustainably empower women in religious engagement.
