Furthermore, the data collection method used in this study is observation, closed interviews with instruments that have been prepared by researchers, and documentation. The results of this study indicate that the attitude of the people of Nirannuang Village towards the Qibla direction is quite good, the majority of respondents who the researchers took as a sample assume that the Qibla direction is the direction of the Kaaba, so when praying they must face the Kaaba as a form of obedience in carrying out obligatory prayers or sunnah. Meanwhile, the understanding of the people of Nirannuang Village towards the Qibla direction is still lacking. This is because the majority of respondents understand how important knowledge of the Qibla direction is, but there are still many people who think that the Qibla direction is west.
