The method of measuring the Qibla direction was carried out by the musala supermarket, where the author’s research uses the Qibla compass and the Qibla direction application on the smartphone. Of course, using the Qibla direction application on a smartphone is an inaccurate method. This method’s method is partly an error in determining the Qibla direction. Due to his ignorance of astronomy in measuring the Qibla direction and ignorance of the magnitude of the Qibla direction angle in the Cirebon City area, resulting in the Qibla direction of the supermarket in the Cirebon City area experiencing a wrong Qibla direction.
