Abstract
Qibla direction plays a pivotal role and is one of the requirements for the validity of prayer (salah). If someone performs the prayer without facing the qibla, the prayer is considered to be invalid accordingly. The mosque and prayer room buildings around the campus of Bandung Islamic University, precisely in Bandung Wetan district, are necessary to be re-examined for the accuracy of their qibla direction seeing that there are several mosques found by researchers are not in accordance with the actual qibla direction. This study aims to verify the accuracy of the direction of the mosques and the prayer rooms in order that it can be mapped which ones follow the accurate direction of the qibla and vice versa. A qualitative approach was used in this study so as the data obtained directly from field observations could be analyzed for its validity. The measurement of qibla direction is inseparable from a number of cosmographical instruments such as theodolite, mizwala, compass sunto, google earth, and GPS. The results of this study are that most mosque buildings merely make use of a magnetic compass to locate qibla direction without firstly carrying out calibration. The largest deviation is 7°6 (seven degrees six minutes) to the south.

Abstract
This study aims to find out and explore the benefits of micro waqf banks as sharia microfinance institutions that have been initiated since 2017 in Indonesia. This institution is founded on a business entity as a sharia cooperative, but from its naming aspect that uses the term waqf does not make it an institution of waqf. Micro waqf bank is an institution that is established in collaboration with financial services authorities, the Indonesian government and the pesantren as the basis of Indonesian Muslims. The purpose of this micro waqf bank is to be able to alleviate poverty by providing financing to productive poor communities through routine assistance programs, because the target of this program is the poor who cannot access formal financial institutions to help with the capital aspects of community small businesses. This research is a qualitative research with a normative juridical approach through interviews and literature studies, and analyzed by descriptive analysis.
