PENGARUH PRODUKTIVITAS TENAGA KERJA TERHADAP PEKERJAAN PLESTERAN (Studi Kasus : Proyek Pembangunan Masjid Babbusalam Sabil Barakah)

A project is a temporary activity that has clear goals and objectives, lasts for a limited period of time, with a certain cost allocation. This research was conducted to find out how much labor productivity there is in plastering work on the Babbusalam Sabil Barakah Mosque construction project and what factors influence the productivity of plastering work on the Babbusalam Sabil Barakah Mosque construction project. The research was conducted by observing the productivity level of 32 workers and accompanied by filling out a questionnaire. Productivity observations used the work sampling method by calculating worker utility factors which were carried out for 3 days for each worker. The average value of the worker productivity utility factor in plastering work on the Babbusalam Sabil Barakah Mosque construction project is 89.57%. The variables that have been determined have a significance of 0.000<0.005 (the required sig) so that they simultaneously have an influence on the level of productivity. Partially, 9 factors that influence the productivity variable have a calculated T value for each variable that exceeds the T table value of 2.074.

Qiblah Angle and Direction of Some Mosques in Zuru Metropolis

A total of 50 mosques (masjids) were randomly sampled in Zuru metropolis, the headquarters of Zuru local government area in Kebbi state, Nigeria, and their qiblah angles taken with modern (scientific) tools notably 3 Islamic apps and one compass, to ascertain the precision of their focus towards makkah. The 3-way analysis revealed the best case scenario of 36%, 6% and 0% of the mosques focused on makkah. It also invariably means 64%, 94% and 100% of the mosques tested were not in the direction towards makkah, by the different approaches used. These results confirm the earlier belief that most of the mosques were not properly focused on the qiblah angle of makkah from Zuru, established at 68.5° in the east-northeast direction from the north. A ‘safe’ range of 67.5 - 79° from north was however found with the tools used. This justifies the use of modern scientific equipments to verify and guide the angular direction of our prayer grounds, as against the hitherto arbitrary dependence of using the sunrise angle as the guide. There’s need for the appropriate authorities to rectify these anomalies, both in row angles already in place, as well as in future construction of mosques, ensuring that they are focused correctly with the prime qiblah angle established, without which prayers conducted will be put in jeopardy.

Mosque Construction as Nation-Building: The case of Turkey

ABSTRACT This article analyzes the question of mosque construction and its interrelationship vis-à-vis nation-building in contemporary Turkey. The dynamics of a secular state ruling over a conservative society have always been conflictual in republican Turkey, and this ever since the modern state began initiating a number of radical secular reforms in the 1920s and the 1930s. Among those reforms, disruptive in a previously conservative society, were the dissolution of the caliphate and dismemberment of religious institutions, coupled with widespread Westernizing policies including the adoption of Western sartorial habits, emphasis on science and technology, and changing the alphabet from the traditional Arabic to the current modern (romanized) Turkish script. On the other hand, the advent of democracy and changeover of government in 1950 brought with it the emergence of a renewed religious discourse and a desire for more mosque construction in order to accentuate the Islamic facet of Turkish culture. Therefore, the religious dimension of Turkish identity has increasingly been buttressed by mosque construction by right-wing governments, reaching its zenith with the current Justice and Development Party (JDP) government (beginning in 2002). Coupled with the emergence of an illiberal democracy bolstered by Turkish populism, this article proposes to analyze the linkage between mosque construction and the building of an Islamic conservative Turkish nation contrasting the secular Turkish identity of the ancien régime.

Religious and Educational Activities of the Tatars in the Turgai Region at the Second Half of the 19th – Beginning of the 20th Centuries

In the article the author for the first time analyzes legislative, religious and educational activities of Tatars in the Turgai region on the basis of archival, periodic, statistical sources. This ethnic minority activity is interesting from the point of view of studying the problem of interaction between the empire, the mobile diaspora and the local population in the context of the frontier modernization process. The aim of the study is to identify the main results of religious and educational activity of the Tatar population in the region. The author comes to the conclusion that the main directions of religious-educational work were missionary activities of Tatars in Kazakh auls, construction of mosques, functioning of mektebs and madrasas, theaters, libraries, public Muslim organizations, attempts to publish books, brochures and newspapers. Many of these initiatives were strongly opposed by the empire. The result of the activities of the Tatar population was not only the maintenance of ethno-cultural diversity, but also a versatile influence on the Kazakhs manifested in the religious, cultural, political sphere and in the formation of a multi-ethnic (Tatar-Kazakh) Muslim socio-cultural space of the empire, which became part of the global Islamic network community. The Tatars spread the ideas of Jadidism and became competitors of the Russians in familiarizing the local population with European culture and pedagogy. The article is intended for specialists in the field of history of Kazakhstan, Islam, Tatars, national policy of the Russian Empire.

THE ‘TREES FROM THE SEA’ CORAL ARCHITECTRURES AND INDIAN OCEAN MARITIME RESOURCES

This article presents the author’s experiences, over the past twenty-five years, in coral stone architecture. The use of marine porite coral is a technology that unites different cultures around the Indian Ocean, from the Maldives to the Swahili coast in Africa. The paper focuses on the use of environmental constraints and local resources for the construction of maritime mosques and coral buildings. The pre-Islamic origin of coral architecture is located between India and Indonesia around the first century AD. The diffusion of this technology was supported by Abbasid travellers and merchants in the Western Indian Ocean, and in Africa around the 9th century, as well as its globalisation under the Buwayhids and the Fatimids in the 11th century. This article shows how international maritime trade and Muslim diasporas disseminate a unique technology and how local populations assimilate material cultures, new technologies, new building material and how they share a common Indian Ocean identity. Keywords: Coral Stone, Indian Ocean, Swahili, Maldives, Islamic, Abbasids, Buddhism

Analysis of the Spatial Distribution Characteristics and Influencing Factors of Traditional Mosque Architecture in the Hehuang Area (China)

Clarifying the spatiotemporal distribution and influencing factors of mosque architecture in China’s Hehuang region has significant positive implications for the overall protection and development of the region’s architectural cultural heritage. This study utilizes field surveys and acquires POI data of traditional mosques built before 1993 in the region to analyze the distribution characteristics of mosques, aiming to explore future development trends of these religious structures. It also investigates the influencing factors, with the goal of emphasizing the primary and secondary factors affecting mosque distribution. The study finds the following: (1) Mosques are generally centered around the Huangshui Valley, displaying a “central clustering, peripheral dispersal” distribution pattern, forming a spatial structure of “two cores, one belt, multiple points”, with distinct differentiation and overall uneven distribution. (2) Mosques are primarily situated at elevations between 2147 and 2764 m; on slopes less than 15°, in sunny and gentle slopes; within 20 km from rivers; within 14 km from roads; in areas receiving 400–500 mm annual rainfall; and within temperature ranges of 5.54–10.22 °C. (3) The study also finds that the spatial distribution of mosques is profoundly influenced by both natural geographical factors and human environmental factors. The better the natural location, the larger and denser the population, the richer the cultural resources, the higher the level of economic development, and the greater the concentration of Hui people, the more numerous and concentrated the mosques. (4) Population factors are the dominant factors for the clustered distribution of traditional mosques in the Hehuang area. Since the construction of mosques in the region is closely related to the number of Hui people and the proportion of Muslim adherents, areas with a high concentration of mosques also have relatively larger populations of Hui people. Temperature, precipitation, altitude, rivers, and roads are foundational factors for traditional mosques in the Hehuang area, influencing mosque distribution as external factors.

Perkembangan Sejarah Kebudayaan Islam di Kerinci

This research was carried out with the aim of finding out more deeply about the historical development of Islamic culture in Kerinci. People in Kerinci still don't know much about the historical and cultural heritage of Islam in Kerinci. This type of research uses qualitative descriptive techniques. Research findings show that the construction of mosques is a fundamental aspect of Islamic society. However, the process of building a mosque involves a combination of Islamic, indigenous and foreign cultural elements. Based on the mosque's use at that time, apart from being a place of worship, this mosque also functioned as a place for religious discussions.

Muslim mosques of the Yenisei province in the legal framework of the Russian Empire in the second half of the 19th — early 20th century

In this article, the functioning of Muslim parishes in the Elysee province in the second half of the 19th — early 20th centuries is being examined. The paper has been prepared using archival materials of the State Archive of the Krasnoyarsk Territory and Central State Historical Archive of the Republic of Bashkortostan, many of which are being introduced into scientific discourse for the first time. The archival materials are presented by petitions from Muslims of the Yenisei Province, and the associated correspondence from provincial departments and the Orenburg Mohammedan Spiritual Assembly. Based on the analysis of the source base, it has been established that the active construction of religious buildings on the territory of the Yenisei Province by Muslims only started in the beginning of the 20th century. Mosques performed not only a religious function for Muslims, but also a public institution uniting representatives of the Islamic tradition. Despite the fact that the community was obliged to cover all construction and maintenance costs itself, the process of obtaining such permissions was quite lengthy. For example, in the city of Yeniseisk, it took several years for the Muslim community to obtain the permission and build a mosque. The first petition for the permission to build a mosque in Yeniseisk was sent to the Orenburg Mohammedan Spiritual Assembly in 1865, and the mosque itself was built only in 1906. To obtain the permission to build a religious building, the Muslim community had to prove its worth, both before provincial authorities and the Orenburg Mohammedan Spiritual Assembly. A separate decision on the possibility of building a mosque in the region was given by the diocesan authorities in order to establish the fact that a religious building built by Muslims would not infringe on the interests of the Orthodox population, as well as attract the newly baptized people. At the beginning of the 20th century, with the increase in the number of immigrants in the region, there was a discernible trend towards the larger number of Muslim communities in the Yenisei Province, and at the same time of the construction of mosques. Furthermore, during this period, there were certain relaxations in the requirements for religious construction for Mus-lims. However, all these changes, as well as active position of the Muslim population in the region still required lengthy corre-spondence with government officials, as well as spiritual departments, both of the Muslims themselves and the Russian Ortho-dox Church. One of the main problems, which remained intractable even in the beginning of the 20th century, was concerned with the compliance with norms of the Construction Charter regarding the size of the parish. The Yenisei Province remained being a multi-confessional region, where the Muslim community was not always dense.

Characteristics of Islamic Social Capital: Reflections on the Petatah Petitih of Sunan Gunung Jati

Social capital is a unifier for individuals in society, including networks, norms, and social trust that can provide mutually beneficial collaboration to achieve common goals. This research proposes Islamic social capital theory to understand the characteristics of Islamic social capital possessed by the people of Cirebon. Phenomenology is used to determine Islamic values originating from the adage "ingsun titip tajug lan fakir miskin" which aims to increase community welfare as the primary goal and downstream of social capital. The process of in-depth interviews, observation, and literature study was used to sort out information regarding Islamic social capital, which includes relational, structural, and cognitive dimensions from the reflection of Sunan Gunung Jati's adage, which has a role in forming the characteristics of the Cirebon society which was then analyzed using NVivo 14. Research results show that the characteristics of Islamic social capital found in Cirebon society are from three dimensions of social capital, namely: 1) Relational Dimension; the community strictly obeys instructions from religious figures, the network of ties between social figures is closely intertwined, there is a belief in society that goodness will lead to goodness, 2) Structural Dimensions; mosque as a center for empowerment and improving community welfare, 3) Cognitive Dimension; instilling the values of mutual help, kindness, and honesty. Reflection on Sunan Gunung Jati's adage is an essential element in forming Islamic social capital in Cirebon society, which contains the following message: 1) maintaining the tajug or mosque as the center of civilization, center of religious, entrepreneurial and socio-cultural activities, 2) the mosque as the center of government and policy setting, 3) the mosque as the center of empowerment activities, 4) social concern and empathy to be maintained in society, 5) realizing a fair and prosperous developed Cirebon through the prosperity of mosques and sustainable mosque construction. The Islamic social capital formed in Cirebon is a unique combination of religious values and local traditions and strongly influences social norms in society.

Dynamics of Contested Sanctity in Mosques: A Historical Perspective

Mosques are symbols of peace and pluralism. However, some mosques are built over pre-Islamic places of worship or are considered sacred by non-Muslims. This has the potential to trigger interfaith tensions and conflicts. This article argues that mosques should be spaces and symbols of peace, religious tolerance, and multiculturalism. The study uses direct observation and compares textual and material evidence related to several large mosques in different countries. It concludes that mosque construction should consider historical and interfaith sensitivities, uphold the sanctity of places of worship, and avoid all forms of heresy. Mosque architecture and buildings can be a mirror of harmony and pluralism. Mosques are aesthetically adaptive and accommodate local wisdom, culture, and religious traditions. Historically controversial mosques cannot be justified and imitated as Islamic mosques in general. Mosque construction must prioritise peaceful views and rational spiritual understanding to maintain harmony and pluralism.

МУСУЛЬМАНСКАЯ БЛАГОТВОРИТЕЛЬНОСТЬ В ДОРЕВОЛЮЦИОННОМ ОРЕНБУРЖЬЕ

The article is devoted to the main directions and features of the organization of Muslim charitable activities in the Orenburg province in the pre-revolutionary period. The authors also focus on the theological foundations of the formation of the tradition of Islamic social service and the main directions of its manifestation in the socio-cultural life of that time. They examine the active participation and contribution, in particular, of Tatar merchants and Muslim clergy to organizing the construction of mosques, mektebas and madrasas, holding various public events, developing the system of religious education, and helping the state during the famine. On the basis of archival materials, research works, pre-revolutionary reference materials, the events of the past are reconstructed, the scale of charitable activities of Muslims, its features and significance for society and the state are revealed. The authors identify the main stages of the emergence of charitable societies in the life of pre-revolutionary Orenburg region and the formation of a tradition of various forms of social activity of religiously oriented societies. They note that, although Muslim charity in the Orenburg province with its significant Muslim population had many similarities with general Islamic charity, it also had its own specific features due to its "frontier" status: as the Tatar merchants gained financial stability, it was Tatar charity as well as the nature of private initiative in its implementation that prevailed in the region.

An Analysis of the Typology of Architectural Structures in Contemporary Iranian Mosques (Case Study: Mosques in the Cities of Sanandaj and Isfahan)

The architecture of a land such as Iran, with its distinctive shapes, forms, and designs, has manifested with both similarities and differences in various periods and regions. This phenomenon is most evident in the embodiment of the most important religious building after Islam, the mosque, which reflects the art and architecture of the people. Therefore, examining and analyzing Iranian mosques from the perspective of architectural structure (form and function) can reveal the features and distinctions among them, thus contributing to the development and enhancement of this type of architecture and, more broadly, to the architecture of contemporary religious buildings. The aim of this study is to identify the spatial and structural characteristics of these buildings and to classify the typology of mosques, particularly in the cities of Sanandaj and Isfahan, in line with the research objectives. This research employs a descriptive-historical-analytical typology and identifies the criteria for mosque construction to explain the types, categorize them, and examine case studies. Field investigations and library studies have also been utilized in this process. Ultimately, the findings indicate that the iwan-courtyard and domed types represent the most frequent examples in these regions. Additionally, the columned iwan, domed chamber, courtyard, and surrounding corridors are key elements in the architectural structure of mosques in these areas. Indeed, by focusing on these architectural elements and promoting their development and expansion in national architecture, the position of mosque architecture can be significantly enhanced at both national and international levels. Moreover, these elements can be innovatively incorporated into the architectural structure of other contemporary buildings.
