description One of the conflicts happened in our society is a decision on qiblah accuracy direction. As the writer mentioned, one of the conflicts happened at Nurul Iman Mosque located in Karanglo, Klaten, Central Java. The dispute was driven by a radical attitude towards implementing Fiqh which Alexander Nixitin mentions this motive perspective as a cultural-spiritual world. This study aims at examining how moderate values in Fiqh are used to find qiblah direction. Facing qiblah direction while praying is a must according to Imam Syafi’i. Thus, accuracy is an absolute truth in terms of Fiqh qiblah. However, the implementation should be based on the contextual situation within society. The researcher employs the qualitative approach using library research. The result of the study finds that dissimilar understanding and approach in fiqh qiblah exacerbated by radical attitude lead to a dispute in society. In light of it, a moderate value approach is needed in determining qiblah direction, which aims to reach an agreement on qiblah direction using hisab method, and expectedly these moderate (flexible) values can lessen friction in the society.
