Everyone who pray must make position to ka’bah, located at Mecca, Saudi Arabia. We can get compass to get it accurately, but there are somethings that can annoy this device. Now at the atmospher there are a lot of satelite that can make navigation to our position, called Geographic Position Service (GPS). With android operating systems, we can find some application at android market that helping us to find particular location in the world.
At the picture, someone who live at Bekasi, Indonesia, can directly see where is Ka’bah. And by seeing the arrow, we can make a position to it. But of course, the world is not flat, so very difficult to get exact direction. In my opinion, the point is not exact position of our qiblat (position of ka’bah at Mecca when praying) but our consentration when praying (called ‘khusyu’).
