FLASHBACK OF THE MOSQUE IN HISTORY: FROM THE PROPHET'S PERIOD TO THE ABASIYYAH DYNASTY

Education and teaching in Islamic history have started since the Prophet received the first revelation in Mecca. When the Prophet migrated to Medina, he founded a mosque as the center of Muslim activity. Thus, this study aims to describe the Flashback of the Mosque in the Trajectory of History. The method used is a literature study with a historical-theological approach, which was then analyzed descriptively and concluded. The results of the study show that the Flashback of the Mosque in the Trajectory of History at the time of the Prophet was very simple but meaningful because it was used as a center for the spiritual development of faith, economy, education, politics, cultural arrangement and all forms of human social order. Then, during the time of the companions, the Mosque underwent physical development, starting from the expansion of buildings to the construction of new mosques in areas successfully conquered by the Muslims, even though the roles and functions were still the same as those of the Prophet Muhammad. Then, during the Umayyad and Abasiyyah periods, mosques experienced rapid progress in infrastructure and art, where towering towers and large mosque domes appeared. Still, their role and function decreased because they were only used as religious centers.

From Mosque to Media: How Saudi Arabia Implements Its Soft Power Strategy in Pakistan

Modern trends in the architecture of mosques in Jordan

This study analyzes the features of historical and modern mosques in Jordan compared to that of Amman. The architecture of the Jordanian mosques reflects the images of great ancient empires and kingdoms of Europe and the Middle East. This has happened due to the geographical position of the country. From the studies of historians and archaeologists, comparative analysis of planning solutions, the use of plastics and decor of the facades of mosques, and the literature on the construction methods of the mosques allow us to conclude that age-old traditions have been preserved through the establishment of mosques in both the countries. Besides, the emergence of new features in constructing mosques has been observed. We find the influence of western architecture in the modern-day architectural designs of Jordanian religious establishments. Meanwhile, in the architecture of Amman mosques, a type of small temple is noticed, the volumetric-plastic composition of which is solved in an innovative way, not to resembling historical temples. In constructing mosques, Amman focuses on preserving the identity and spirituality of the mosques but adds new metaphors by ensuring multidimensionality of space and adopting the architectural designs of modern cities. Changes in the architecture of mosques happened due not only to new technologies and materials but, also to integrate with the processes of globalization and international cooperation of architects. We observe the construction of ancient mosques in both the countries combined both European and American architecture which reveals new images and possibilities of the architecture of the East.

From the Fire Temple to the Mosque: the religious urban landscape in Late Antique Ērānšahr

This paper is an analysis of the change in urban spaces in the former Sasanian empire after the Arab-Muslim conquest. How events shaped the population’s life is reflected by how urban society shaped the spaces within the city. Paradigmatic of this is the case of religious spaces. In a syncretic empire such as the Sasanian Ērānšahr (224–650 CE), places of worship were not limited to fire altars and temples, there were also churches and synagogues as vital parts of the religious environment. According to the archaeological and historiographic attestations, religious spaces in Sasanian times were prevalent in a rural dimension. In 650 CE, the empire was turned upside down by the Arab-Muslim conquest and the transition period to a unified Islamic society is known as Islamization. This event is often described as a rupture; however, it can be better represented as acculturation because of the cultural exchange taking place during the conversion and the elaboration of Islamic social institutions. One of the primary marks of this process includes constructing new religious urban spaces, the mosques both inside and outside city walls. Religious spaces marked both the territory and the identity of the people inhabiting it. However crucial to the construction of mosques, is a parallel shift of the religious space from a rural to an urban environment.

Conquest to Conversion

North Africa (west of Egypt) is a compelling locale to explore how and when a Muslim minority became the Muslim majority. Previous scholarly approaches to medieval religious change rely almost exclusively on much later written sources, and as a result, little is understood about the religious landscape in which believers operated in. This article examines critically the material evidence for mosque construction and church abandonment and proposes certain tipping points in the process by which Islam become the dominant religion. While mosque construction reveals more about state and elite religious investment than the believers who may have used them, other forms of evidence, including funerary evidence, dietary practices and inscribed material culture, occasionally give us an intimate glimpse into the practices of simple believers. The evidence shows that the chronology of religious change differs between those regions under Byzantine rule (eastern Algeria, Tunisia, coastal Libya), and those ruled by Berber chiefdoms in late antiquity. Much of the latter converted in the 8th century, whereas the late 9th century marks the mass conversion of town dwellers from the Byzantine core and a first period of crisis for Christianity. This early conversion was an important factor in the collapse of the caliphate in North Africa and the emergence of successor states that used Islam as the main idiom through which to establish and legitimize their right to rule.

Astana mosques: strategies and practices of designing new public spaces

Using examples of the construction of mosques in the capital, the article shows how the discourse of the importance of Islam for cultural memory manifests itself through the practice of forming new public spaces. Despite the fact that, in comparison with the general Kazakh trends, the increase in the number of mosques in Astana is not so significant, each new mosque in the capital is formed as a unique of case, where, in addition to the main religious issues, one can also trace: state policy in the field of cultural memory; the growth of emotional, symbolic and infrastructural load on mosques; the increasing role of participation in the spaces of the mosque. Every decade, not only the main cathedral mosques, larger and larger in terms of its size, are being opened in the capital, but also the primary infrastructural linking of mosques to different urban spaces takes place. The article also discusses the question of who is the actor of the emergence of these new mosques. One of the examples of the "diplomacy of mosques" was the Nur-Astana mosque built at the expense of a foreign investor; by order of representatives of the political elite and local communities, projects of Islamic religious buildings, unique in its architectural solutions, were implemented. The article uses an infrastructural approach, which made it possible to identify important aspects in the topography of mosques in the metropolitan area, in the specifics of relations between state authorities, patrons, Muslim clergies and other interested parties that have a direct impact on the strengthening and development of mosques as important public spaces. There has also been an increase in the practices of opening Islamic culture museums at mosques in the last decade, which contributes to the transformation of the usual image of the mosque and strengthening their importance in the mass consciousness as an important object of cultural memory infrastructure. Key words: infrastructural approach, memory infrastructure, cultural landscape, mosque, public space, Astana, Spiritual Administration of Muslims of Kazakhstan.

Novopronađeni epigrafski spomenik princepsa Mezeja u Jajcu / The newly discovered epigraphic monument of the princeps of the Maezaei in Jajce

In the summer of 2021. a new epigraphic monument was found in the immediate vicinity of the town of Jajce. It mentions Dasius, princeps of illyrian nation Maezeiand a priest of the imperial cult. In addition to the inscription, there is a beautifully made relief of a man with a saddled horse on the monument. Judging by the context of the find, the location where it was found is not its primary location. The inscription was probably used in earlier centuries in the construction of mosques or churches that were demolished in 1992 or 1993, and then that material was dislocated to the location where it was found. This valuable inscription provides an insight into the administrative and institutional structure of the Maezei civitas, about which no data have been available so far.
