Abstract

This study focuses on analyzing the qibla direction using the Google Earth application in the Aceh Province. The research aims to explore the potential use of digital technology in determining the qibla direction, an essential aspect of Muslim life. The method involves utilizing the Google Earth application to map important locations in the Aceh Province and identifying the optimal qibla direction from each of these locations. The research findings indicate that the use of the Google Earth application can provide accurate and easily accessible information about the qibla direction across the entire Aceh Province. The implications of this study include the possibility of applying similar technology in other contexts where determining the qibla direction is relevant.
