CABARAN MUSLIMAT DALAM PENGIMARAHAN MASJID DI BANDAR ILMU PUTRA MAHKOTA

The mosque serves as the center of activities for the Muslim community. The concept of a balanced and holistic mosque plays a critical role in shaping a harmonious, ethical, and competitive Islamic society in the modern world. The significant role of this mosque requires the energy and commitment of both men and women in its planning. However, the involvement of Muslim women in mosque development is minimal compared to men, even though the contributions of Muslim women are also essential in mosque development. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the challenges faced by Muslim women in mosque development. The study was conducted using a qualitative approach with a case study design. Three mosques and three suraus in the Bandar Ilmu Putra Mahkota area were selected as the study's samples. Study informants were chosen from among the mosque women's committee members to ensure that the study objectives were achieved. This study used a focus group discussion protocol as the interview instrument. The discussion data were transcribed and analyzed using thematic analysis with the Atlas.ti software. The study's results indicate that Muslim women face challenges in terms of self, knowledge, and time management when it comes to mosque development involvement. From this, it is hoped that this study can provide guidance to stakeholders in providing support to Muslim women in mosque development.

Masjid : Sejarah Singkat, Komponen dan Konteks Regional

Abstract. The mosque is a public building and one of the architectural forms of Islamic culture. There have been numerous studies discussing mosques, including historical studies, analyses of stylistic forms, thermal comfort, circulation, and other aspects. Due to the multitude of research variations, this article aims to re-explore the foundational knowledge of mosques. It begins by delving into the origins of mosques and their brief history, the initial mosque prototypes, their relationship with the building's components, and the evolution of their architecture in relation to regional contexts. This research falls within the realm of qualitative research, employing data collection techniques from several literature sources. The findings indicate that the history and prototypes of early mosques (influenced by pre-Islamic styles) played a significant role in the overall architectural development of mosques worldwide. However, regional contexts introduce new dimensions to the appearance and impression of mosques. What remains unchangeable is the foundation of Islamic religion, which serves as the primary reference in determining policies related to the architectural development of mosques.

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.

The main objective of this activity is to assist residents in the construction of the Mushola in the form of technical consultation assistance during construction. As time goes by, many changes have occurred to the condition of the mosque, which is becoming more and more obsolete. Currently, there is physical damage to the mosque building due to age, and it needs to be renovated because in some parts, such as the roof damaged or decayed wood, the ceiling condition has been damaged a lot due to leaks by rainwater during congregational prayers and the arrival of the holy month of Ramadan for congregational tarawih prayers is worried that when it rains it can cause leaks. This condition causes the implementation of worship to be less solemn and uncomfortable.

Identity of the architecture of mosques in Russia in the late XX-early XXI century (as exemplified by Tatarstan)

The article is devoted to the analysis of the development and identification of the architecture of mosques in Russia on the example of the Republic of Tatarstan. In the 1990-ies, after a long break, the construction of mosques in cities and villages was resumed. For the last three decades, the architecture of mosques has evolved from recreating historical buildings of mosques lost during the Soviet period to construction of modern Muslim cult structures. The architecture of the Tatarstan mosques in Russia develops compositions of the traditional types of the buildings while applying contemporary structures, materials, and extending the functions significantly. The buildings of the mosques include prayer rooms, libraries, museums, classrooms, conference rooms, auxiliary spaces, etc. A particular feature of the contemporary Tatar mosques is separate entrances and ladies’ prayer rooms. Previously, women were not allowed inside the buildings. All this determines the identity of the architecture of mosques in Tatarstan and Russia. The construction of large cult structures signifies a new stage for the development of mosques in Russia.

Islamic Architectures of Self-Inclusion and Assurance in a Multicultural Society

ABSTRACT Although Muslim migration to Australia’s new world settler society has a long pedigree, their population and civic presence have grown in recent decades. New generations of Muslim migrants require the nation to engage with their histories and post-secular religious pluralism. Part of their history can be traced through their places of worship. This includes temporary structures along the inland telegraph route (the 1850s), the first permanent mosques in South Australia (Adelaide, 1888) and Victoria (Shepparton, 1956–60), and a variety of contemporary mosques as the population grows – indicating more settled lives. The aim was/is to provide sites of communal, spiritual, cultural, social, and educational guidance. Mosques often comprise(d) hybrid designs using a combination of local materials to fit with the existing built environment and to integrate unobtrusively. Recent examples of mosque development indicate a qualitative shift based on interacting social imaginaries of both Muslims and non-Muslims, which serves two key symbolic and social functions: as architectures of self-inclusion, and as architectures of assurance to the dominant, non-Muslim public in a society that resolutely “others” the Islamic faith and Muslim people. This paper explores the complex implications of this two-fold self-inclusion/assurance discourse by way of two case studies: the Hobson’s Bay mosque in Melbourne and the proposed Bendigo mosque.
