Journal JIAJIA Abstract

This study is an extended research of previous studies on the mosque typology in Aceh Province, Indonesia. Although Aceh is well-known as a “mecca veranda due to its proximity to Islam, the mosque typology research is still limited. The mosque holds significant value in the Muslim community. This study was conducted in Acehs Northern-Eastern route, which covers 90 (ninety) mosques located in 8 (eight) regencies. Using Baiturrahman Grand Mosque as the reference, as suggested in previous studies, the result indicates that the union-shaped mosque as a roof element is the predominant feature replicated by the mosques in Acehs Northern-Eastern route. Other elements, such as the column, the opening, and the roof ornamentation, are also replicated by some research objects insignificantly. Differing from the previous research, this study highlights that the minaret is a vital feature, although it is not applied in all research objects. Further research can be carried on toward broader areas with more diverse analytical factors such as time, socio-culture and technology.

Conclusion

The influence of Baiturrahman Grand Mosque (BGM) on Northern-Eastern Acehs mosques, particularly in terms of the roof, is the union-shaped dome.While some modifications exist, the basic form remains dominant.The study reveals the role of the mosque dome as the identity of a religious building in the region, resembling BGMs dome.The research also indicates that minarets and façade ornamentation are not essential elements influenced by the BGM design, though some mosques still incorporate them.

Future Research

Future research should expand the study area to encompass all of Aceh, incorporating the year of mosque construction as a key analytical factor to categorize typology based on historical periods. Furthermore, investigating the socio-cultural factors influencing the limited adoption of minarets in Northern-Eastern Aceh, beyond functional considerations, could reveal nuanced understandings of local religious expression. Finally, a comparative study examining the relationship between mosque typology and the implementation of Islamic Sharia Law in Aceh, alongside an exploration of the communitys perception of mosque identity, would provide valuable insights into the interplay between architectural form and religious practice.
