The mosque which was established in 1997, was last verified by qibla in 2013 by the Hisab Rukyat Agency, the Ministry of Religion, using a magnetic compass, protractor, thread and GPS, which has certain disadvantages. One of them is the neglect or error in entering the value of magnetic declination, the value of it is relatively small in Indonesia, between -1˚ to + 4˚. However, if the neglect or application error are not to be calculated, the value will contribute to the deviation of the qibla direction. Based on the background of the study described above, it can be identified several main problems. 1) How is the accuracy of the qibla direction of Ibnu Batutah Mosque, Puja Mandala Area, Nusa Dua, South Kuta, Denpasar, Bali at this time?. 2) What is the response of the mosque administrators and muslim people around Ibnu Batutah, Puja Mandala Regiom, Nusa Dua, South Kuta, Denpasar, Bali to the method of determining the qibla direction which is less precise?.

From this observation, it can be seen that Nusa Dua people beliefs towards the direction of the Qibla of Ibnu Batutah Great Mosque, the Puja Mandala Region, need to be reconsidered. Qibla direction of the original building of the mosque has not been accurately directed to the Ka'bah and deviates 03º30’00” less west, Changing people's beliefs to new beliefs is not easy. Beliefs arise through several processes, namely introductions, beliefs and beliefs. Therefore, to change the beliefs of the people of Nusa Dua must use new beliefs through a sociological approach. The step starts with conducting counseling on Qibla direction, both on the basis of the determination, objectives and benefits, the method of determining and how to apply it and allowing changes in the direction of the Ibnu Batutah Great Mosque in the direction of the actual Qibla.
