Pertanika began publication in 1978 as the Journal of Tropical Agricultural Science. In 1992, a decision was made to streamline Pertanika into three journals to meet the need for specialised journals in areas of study aligned with the interdisciplinary strengths of the university. The revamped Journal of Social Sciences & Humanities (JSSH) aims to develop as a pioneer journal for the Social Sciences with a focus on emerging issues pertaining to the social and behavioural sciences as well as the humanities, particularly in the Asia Pacific region. Other Pertanika series include Pertanika Journal of Tropical Agricultural Science (JTAS); and Pertanika Journal of Science and Technology (JST). JSSH is published in English and it is open to authors around the world regardless of the nationality. It is currently published four times a year i.e. in March, June, September and December. Journal of Social Sciences & Humanities Goal of Pertanika Our goal is to bring the highest quality research to the widest possible audience. Quality We aim for excellence, sustained by a responsible and professional approach to journal publishing. Submissions are guaranteed to receive a decision within 12 weeks. The elapsed time from submission to publication for the articles averages 5-6 months. Indexing of Pertanika Pertanika is now over 33 years old; this accumulated knowledge has resulted Pertanika JSSH being indexed in SCOPUS (Elsevier), EBSCO, Thomson (ISI) Web of Knowledge [CAB Abstracts], DOAJ, Google Scholar, ISC, Citefactor, Rubriq and MyAIS. Future vision Journal of Social Sciences & Humanities We are continuously improving access to our journal archives, content, and research services. We have the drive to realise exciting new horizons that will benefit not only the academic community, but society itself. We also have views on the future of our journals. The emergence of the online medium as the predominant vehicle for the ‘consumption’ and distribution of much academic research will be the ultimate instrument in the dissemination of research news to our scientists and readers. Aims and Scope Pertanika Journal of Social Sciences & Humanities aims to provide a forum for high quality research related to social sciences and humanities research. Areas relevant to the scope of the journal include: Accounting, Agricultural & resource economics, Anthropology, Communication, Community and peace studies, Design and architecture, Disaster and crisis management, Economics, Education, Extension education, Finance, Gerontology, Hospitality and tourism, Human ecology, Human resource development, Language studies (education, applied linguistics, acquisition, pedagogy), Language literature (literary & cultural studies), Management, Marketing, Psychology, Safety and environment, Social and behavioural sciences, Sociology, Sustainable development, and Ethnic relations.

  • Architectural Styles of Malaysian Mosque: Suitability in Compact Urban Settings
    MATEC Web of Conferences 266, 06001 (2019) https://doi.org/10.1051/matecconf/2019 26606001 IConBEE2018 Architectural Styles of Malaysian Mosque: Suitability In Compact Urban Settings Nayeem Asif1,*, Nangkula Utaberta1 and Arman Sarram1 1Universiti Putra Malaysia Abstract. The concept of urban mosque stems from more extensive reasons that mostly come from the overall issues of industrialization. Considering the challenges related to rapid urban growth, public institutions, such as mosque and its compatibility is required to be assessed in the context of compact cities. This study, therefore, aims to evaluate the planning and layout of six different styles of mosque in Malaysia regarding their suitability in compact urban settings. Due to its genre, the study adopts a case study as a qualitative research strategy as its research method. Content analysis is conducted on the compiled literature to indicate the expected outcome. Following a brief comparative discussion, this paper shows that mosque with modern architectural style among all six typologies is most suitable in the context of compact urban settings. Factors considered for the evaluation of mosques include layout progression of the mosque whether horizontal or vertical, provision for vertical stacking of spaces, symmetry in topology as well as in elevation and space types regarding flexible usage. The scope of this paper is limited to the assessment of literature only, which opens the window for a further in-depth study of actual case studies related to this topic. 1 Introduction solving social problems and develop a more integrated community[5] Mosque acts as the most significant institution for the Modern society issues are varied and complex; urban Muslims as a nucleus of a globally united community.

  • The Design of Mosques As Community Development Centers from the Perspective of the Sunna and Wright’S Organic Architecture
    THE DESIGN OF MOSQUES AS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CENTERS FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE SUNNA AND WRIGHT’S ORGANIC ARCHITECTURE Mohamad Tajuddin Mohamad Rasdi Department of Architecture, Faculty of Built Environment, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Johor Bahru, Malaysia e-mail: [email protected] Nangkula Utaberta Department of Architecture, Faculty of Engineering and Built Environment, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia e-mail:[email protected] Abstract The main purpose of this paper is to present an alternative approach to mosque design with particular reference to the context of Malaysia and the Malay World or the Nusantara. The paper contains four main parts. The first part examines the problem of mosque architectural interpretation from the perspective of Western architectural historiography. The main problems highlighted are those which pertain to the idea of ‘architecture’, ‘religious architecture’, relevance of the body of knowledge known as the ‘Hadith’ and lastly the specific historical-political agenda of some traditional mosques. The second part of the paper expounds briefly a reinterpretation of the hadith in arguing that the mosque approaches more as a community development complex than that as a mere house of rituals. The third part of the paper examines Wright’s Organic Architecture with specific reference to the design of the Unity Church and a few other buildings as containing some important lessons of mosque designs from the perspective of the Sunnah. The final part of the paper uses the principles discussed to criticize the Putra Mosque and the Masjid Negara. Keywords: Sunna, Organic Architecture, mosque design, Frank Lloyd Wright Abstrak Kajian ini berupaya untuk menghadirkan pendekatan alternatif terhadap perancangan masjid dengan referensi kontekstual dari Malaysia atau Nusantara.

  • Pragmatism and Symbolism in Malay Traditional Islamic Architecture: Kampung Tuan Mosque
    PRAGMATISM AND SYMBOLISM IN MALAY TRADITIONAL ISLAMIC ARCHITECTURE: KAMPUNG TUAN MOSQUE PRAGMATISME DAN SIMBOLISME SENI BINA ISLAMIK MELAYU TRADISIONAL: MASJID KAMPUNG LAUT Saleha Hanim Mastura Mohd Nasir Faculty of Built Environment (FABE) Infrastructure University Kuala Lumpur (IUKL) Nur Yuhanis Mohd Nasir Nursham Abdul Aziz1 Akademi Pengajian Melayu Universiti Malaya Abstract Mosque is one of the common architecture in Malaysia since the country itself is an Islamic country. The designs vary; some were made based on the onion-shaped dome which is an influence from the Mughal’s empire and others were made as a landmark for a certain area. The design of enormous domes, tall minarets, and huge scale space can be considered as typical mosque layout but some traditional mosques had been altered from its original layout which messed up the philosophy behind the initial structures. Although it can be understood that renovations of adding new elements and spaces to the original layout is to accommodate the current population, it is still important to preserve as well as to conserve the traditional and heritage values of these buildings as they represent the early Islamic architecture of Malaysia. This paper will take a depth on the study of mosques architecture in Terengganu, one of the states located in the East side of Malaysia which have a number of mosques range from the 1800s to 1900s. Many were made as vernacular architecture with influences from the Middle East countries 1 The first writer is currently an architecture lecturer at FABE, IUKL. The second and third writer are doctoral students at APM, UM, joined the first writer in her fieldwork in Kemaman and collaborate to write this paper.

  • Mosque Tourism in Malaysia: a Marketing Perspective
    International Journal of Social Science Research e-ISSN: 2710-6276 | Vol. 1, No. 2, 108-120, 2019 http://myjms.moe.gov.my/index.php/ijssr MOSQUE TOURISM IN MALAYSIA: A MARKETING PERSPECTIVE Norhanim Abdul Razak1* 1 School of Tourism, Hospitality and Event Management, College of Law, Government and International Studies, Universiti Utara Malaysia, Sintok, Kedah, MALAYSIA *Corresponding author: [email protected] Accepted: 6 December 2019 | Published: 16 December 2019 Abstract: Mosque tourism is one of the niche areas in the field of Islamic tourism that is expanding rapidly. The presence of mosques with outstanding historical, heritage, and aesthetic values have attracted foreign and domestic tourists to visit, appreciate, and experience these Muslim places of worship. As Islamic tourism is gaining popularity and the importance of mosques as tourist attractions is growing, it is therefore useful to explore mosque tourism in the context of Malaysia. While a number of investigations have researched mosque tourism in the contexts of motivations, residents’ attitudes, and architecture uniqueness, limited studies have examined Muslim places of worship from the perspective of marketing. Hence, this paper focuses on how Malaysian mosques have been promoted in tourism materials. Content analysis was utilised in the assessment of textual descriptions and visual images of mosques that have been featured in tourism promotions for over seven decades. Findings of this paper uncovered that mosques have been represented in tourism brochures published from 1969 to August 2019. Two of the earliest mosques that appeared in tourism brochures are Kapitan Kling Mosque and the Malay Mosque (Masjid Kampung Melayu) in the promotion of Penang as a tourist destination.

  • Traditional Mosque in Malaysia
    Traditional Mosque in Malaysia Nicklaus Emmanuel George Mohd Shamsul Nizam bin Marzuki Muhammad Fauzee bin Ahmed Zulkifli Siti Nadia binti Mohamad Daud Norafiqah binti Jalal El Din Nabilla Laili binti Ramli INTRODUCTION TRADITIONAL MOSQUE IN MALAYSIA Since the end of the 20th century, many scholars have been intrigued by the significance, aesthetic values and philosophical meanings of the most notable symbol of Islamic architecture, mosques. Although Islam was introduced to Southeast Asia between the 13th, 14th and the 15th centuries and since then numerous mosques were erected throughout the region, but yet the Islamic architecture of this region remains little-known and poorly documented probably because these mosques have followed local building traditions and climatic conditions and do not resemble Islamic architecture of Middle East. Among all the materials and records about mosques architecture and typology, there are few scholars who have mentioned Southeast Asian mosques architecture. Some have acknowledged Southeast Asian mosque as one of the seven regional mosque typology, which represents one of the fascinating architectural styles in mosque design. Masjid Ubudiah, Kuala Kangsar INTRODUCTION . Built in 1913 and completed later in 1917, opened by Sultan Jalil Karamatullah Shah.

TRANSFORMATION OF MOSQUE ARCHITECTURE IN MALAYSIA: CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF ARCHITECTURAL HISTORY APPROACHES Megat Ariff Shah, Ezrin Arbi & Nila Inangda Faculty of Built Environment, University of Malaya [email protected] ABSTRACT Malaysia’s rich historical background has resulted in a unique local architecture that exhibits complex and wide-ranging variations and influences. Amongst the different types of architecture, mosques are unique as it has an unchanging and eternal primary function – as a place for communal worship – whilst architecturally has been constantly evolving since the earliest mosques were erected in this country. Current inquiries in the field of architectural history of mosques in Malaysia have primarily focused on inventory-based historical studies, comparative studies and thematic studies in the form of monographs, all of which tend to be non-holistic and compartmentalized in their approach. Subsequently, the main objective of this paper is to establish a holistic approach in studying mosque architecture by linking the earliest mosques to contemporary ones and mapping their formal relationships through the use of typological classification.

  • Contesting Perception: the Genesis of Islamic Architecture Idioms in the Sultanates Mosques of British Malaya 1874-1957
    CONTESTING PERCEPTION: THE GENESIS OF ISLAMIC ARCHITECTURE IDIOMS IN THE SULTANATES MOSQUES OF BRITISH MALAYA 1874-1957 Harlina Md Sharif Assistant Professor Kulliyyah of Architecture & Environmental Design (KAED) International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) [email protected] ABSTRACT The advent of the 20th century witnessed the emergence of congregation mosques (masjid al’jami’), built in Neo-classical, Avant-Garde and Mughal repertoires, replacing traditional-vernacular styles. Mosques especially attributed to the Malay Sultans, were particularly outstanding for their scale, materials and design. Many of them were fully or partially funded by the British rule, or presented to the Malay ruler as a gift. The study looks at the transformations of the mosque idioms as seen in sultanate mosques built during the British Rule. By carrying out visual survey on these mosques, the study highlights factors causing the morphology of a mosque’s physical language and characteristics, and argues that the genesis of the “Islamic Architecture” idioms in Malaysia was actually founded during the British administration in pre-independence Malaysia. Proceeding of the 3rd International Conference on Masjid, Zakat and Waqf (IMAF 2016) (e-ISBN 978-967-13087-2-1). 1 December 2016, Shah Alam, Selangor, MALAYSIA. 22 Study Background In pre-modern Nusantara, mosques in the vernacular model, especially the tajug (pyramidal) prototype, were widely applied throughout the archipelago. This model gained its popularity not merely due to its cultural connotation or historical significance. Its adaptability with regards to religious and cultural demands made it a popular design choice. The form is fundamentally a result of synthesis from the architectural heritage and available building techniques, in search of a suitable design that satisfy the requirements of both culture and religion.
