- This article discusses how the society of Garut, West Java, determine the direction of qibla and examines the accuration of the method they used in determining the position of mosque qibla direction based on the qibla shadow method. This study finds that there are two methods in this regard. The first is taqribi, or prediction. In defining the qibla direction using this method, the people make use of the sunlight in the morning to determine the direction of qibla using silet, stick compass, and qibla compass because they understand that the qibla direction is on the west direction. The second method is tahqiqi methode, a method which is based on the science of modern astronomy and triangle measure comprising of yaum rashd global qibla, shadow of qibla, qibla locator, and theodholit. This study finds that only 23% or 14 mosques, which used the qibla shadow method to determine their qibla direction, has an accurate qibla direction. Three important factors have influenced the ways in which the people determine the direction of qibla in Garut: knowledge and understanding of the people about qibla, the public figure to whom people follow their instructions to find qibla and the media or tools used to determine the direction of qibla
