초록
This paper deals with the origin of minaret and its transformation in modern society. Mosque gives us the epitome of Muslim faith. Minaret, mihrab, and minbar are all related to the Muslim life of prayer. The literal meaning of minaret is the place in which Muslims submit themselves to Allah, the cell where monks reside, and the thing which give light to the world. Though Syrian church influenced the formation of minaret, Ziggurat and Roman architectures also effected its development. In the 9th century, Islam introduced the style of tower to Christian basilica in Rome. Muslim communities in Western Europe face the problem of religious identity and construction of mosque and minaret among non-Muslims. In the case of Birmingham, we find the complicated process of dialogue and negotiation between city council officers, builders, and Muslim committees. The meaning of minaret has changed as from the target of hatred to the symbol of multi-culture. In the case of Swiss, right-wing party reduced the symbol of religion to political system. This civil initiation won the minaret ban in the national referendum, using Islamphobia based on prejudice and distortion of Islam. In conclusion, we need to challenge ourselves to rethink our prejudice by understanding Islam from Muslim viewpoint and explaining the diversity of Muslim cultures in their contexts. Paju Masjid's minarets in Korea and Burj Khalifa in Dubai remind us of the power and faith of Islam in modern society.
Abstract
This paper deals with the origin of minaret and its transformation in modern society. Mosque gives us the epitome of Muslim faith. Minaret, mihrab, and minbar are all related to the Muslim life of prayer. The literal meaning of minaret is the place in which Muslims submit themselves to Allah, the cell where monks reside, and the thing which give light to the world. Though Syrian church influenced the formation of minaret, Ziggurat and Roman architectures also effected its development. In the 9th century, Islam introduced the style of tower to Christian basilica in Rome. Muslim communities in Western Europe face the problem of religious identity and construction of mosque and minaret among non-Muslims. In the case of Birmingham, we find the complicated process of dialogue and negotiation between city council officers, builders, and Muslim committees. The meaning of minaret has changed as from the target of hatred to the symbol of multi-culture. In the case of Swiss, right-wing party reduced the symbol of religion to political system. This civil initiation won the minaret ban in the national referendum, using Islamphobia based on prejudice and distortion of Islam. In conclusion, we need to challenge ourselves to rethink our prejudice by understanding Islam from Muslim viewpoint and explaining the diversity of Muslim cultures in their contexts. Paju Masjid's minarets in Korea and Burj Khalifa in Dubai remind us of the power and faith of Islam in modern society.
