Journal JIAJIA Abstract

This paper aims to fill existing gaps by presenting a comprehensive framework that encompasses various aspects of Islamic Architecture and its formation. Grounded in the paradigm that Islamic Architecture is a physical manifestation of culture rooted in Islamic values, this study structures the understanding of Islamic architecture through a cultural framework, incorporating mentifacts, sociofacts, and artifacts. Drawing from classical Islamic sources and contemporary writings, this qualitative study employs a deductive approach to thematic analysis, categorizing sources into three main categories: mentifact, sociofact, and artifact. The study highlights the suitability of this framework for assessing the philosophical foundation of Islamic Architecture, which is directly rooted in the teachings of the Quran and Hadith, and extends to its pragmatic dimension. Notably, as emphasized in the mentifact category, Islamic architecture highlights the idealism that architects, builders, and building owners should uphold. The sociofact category accentuates the strong emphasis on the social impact of Islamic Architecture. Simultaneously, in the artifact category, architectural design is expected to embody Islamic characteristics while respecting local contexts. This framework can also be applied to evaluate the priority and developmental stages of Islamic architecture. Furthermore, the study emphasizes that these foundational principles evolve to create architectural beauty imbued with a distinct character and a sense of identity rooted in Islamic values. Thus, this framework provides a comprehensive tool for understanding, evaluating, and advancing Islamic architecture from the philosophical to practical aspects.

Conclusion

Firstly, the Islamic architecture framework consisting of Mentifact, Sociofact, and Artifact is pivotal for comprehending Islamic architecture.Each of these concepts plays a crucial role in shaping the design and construction of Islamic buildings.By understanding the interplay between these three concepts, a deeper appreciation for the beauty and complexity of Islamic architecture can be attained.This framework emphasizes the necessity of a robust philosophical foundation for Islamic architecture, obtained from the Quran, Hadith, Maqasid al-Shariah, and the Fatwas of Islamic Scholars related to architecture and construction.Without this foundation, the authenticity of architecture being truly Islamic becomes questionable, reducing it to a mere architectural style.While the philosophical basis is primarily rooted in the connection to Allah the Creator, it must also have a social foundation, making the relationships among individuals just as pivotal as the relationship between human beings and Allah.Secondly, the framework should not be viewed in isolation.instead, it should be employed as a cohesive tool.This is especially pertinent for architects aspiring to create Islamic architecture that is both meaningful and impactful.The application of this framework is not confined solely to classical or Middle Eastern architecture.it is equally suitable for use in contemporary Islamic architecture worldwide.It provides a versatile and comprehensive approach that can guide architects in ensuring that their designs align with the principles of Mentifact, Sociofact, and Artifact, fostering a holistic and authentic representation of Islamic architecture across diverse cultural and geographical contexts.

Future Research

To advance the application of Islamic Architecture in contemporary times, there is a pressing need to deepen our study regarding Aqidah, Akhlaq, and Fiqh. This involves creating new architectural artifacts that reflect the distinctive qualities of Islamic culture amidst the prevailing dominance of modern non-Islamic cultural influences. It is essential to incorporate the social impact of architecture as a fundamental consideration in the architectural design process. This should extend to academia and architectural education, where the significance of the social effect needs to be emphasized in the learning process. Furthermore, while the framework offers a comprehensive exploration of the dimensions of Islamic architecture, it is important to recognize the limitations of this study. Explaining the entirety of the vast Islamic literature and its discussions in a single journal article is not feasible due to inherent constraints. Interpreting classical sources for practical application in architecture is challenging, rendering the detailed framework incomplete. Practical issues may also arise when applying the framework in real-world scenarios. Future researchers are encouraged to enrich this framework by conducting detailed analyses of other classical sources and exploring examples in contemporary practical applications. Continued research and application will contribute to the refinement and enhancement of the framework, leading to a more nuanced understanding and effective implementation of Islamic architecture principles.
