Masjid jami

Masjid Jami di Isfahan, Iran, sebuah masjid bersejarah yang awalnya didirikan pada abad kedelapan

Masjid Jami atau masjid Jumu'ah (bahasa Arab: مَسْجِد جَامِع, masjid jāmi‘, atau hanya: جَامِع, jāmi‘; bahasa Turki: Cami), atau kadang-kadang disebut masjid Agung atau masjid Raya (bahasa Arab: جامع كبير, jāmi‘ kabir; bahasa Turki: Ulu Cami), adalah sebuah masjid untuk menyelenggarakan salat Jumat yang dikenal dengan nama jumu'ah.[1] Kemudian bisa juga menjadi tempat pelaksanaan salat Id dalam situasi darurat ketika tidak ada musala atau eidgah yang tersedia di dekatnya. Pada awal sejarah Islam, jumlah masjid Jami di satu kota sangat terbatas. Seiring pertumbuhan kota dan populasi dari waktu ke waktu, menjadi lebih umum bagi banyak masjid untuk menyelenggarakan salat Jumat di area yang sama.[2][3]

Etimologi

Istilah bahasa Arab lengkap untuk jenis masjid ini adalah masjid jāmi‘ (مَسْجِد جَامِع ), yang biasanya diterjemahkan sebagai "masjid Jami" atau "masjid Jumu'ah".[2] "Jami" digunakan untuk menerjemahkan jāmi‘ (جَامِع ), yang berasal dari bahasa Arab "ج - م - ع" yang memiliki arti 'mempertemukan' atau 'menyatukan'’ (bentuk lisan: جمع dan يجمع ).[2][4] Dalam bahasa Arab, istilah ini biasanya disederhanakan menjadi jāmi‘ (جَامِع). Begitu pula dalam bahasa Turki istilah cami (pengucapan bahasa Turki: [d͡ʒami]) digunakan untuk tujuan yang sama.[5] Sebagai pembeda antara “masjid Jami" dan masjid lainnya telah berkurang dalam sejarah yang lebih baru, istilah Arab masjid dan jami' lebih sering dipergunakan.[6][7]

Di negara-negara Muslim non-Arab, kata itu jāmi‘ ("yang mengumpulkan, berkumpul atau dikumpulkan") sering digabungkan dengan kata lain dari akar yang sama, jumu‘ah (bahasa Arab: جُمُعَة, har. 'perakitan, berkumpul'), sebuah istilah yang merujuk pada salat Jumat (bahasa Arab: صَلَاة الْجُمُعَة, translit. ṣalāṫ al-jumu‘ah, har. 'prayer of assembly') atau hari Jumat itu sendiri (bahasa Arab: يَوْم الْجُمُعَة, translit. yawm al-jumu‘ah, har. 'day of assembly').[8] Hal ini disebabkan salat jumat wajib berjamaah dan hanya dilaksanakan di masjid-masjid Jami, biasanya ialah masjid utama atau masjid yang terletak di pusat kota, dan karenanya kadang-kadang juga dikenal sebagai masjid Jumu'ah.

Sejarah

Masjid Amru bin Ash, didirikan pada abad ketujuh sebagai masjid Jami' pertama di Fustat, Mesir.

Sejak periode awal Islam, ada perbedaan fungsional antara masjid pusat besar yang dibangun dan dikendalikan oleh negara serta masjid lokal kecil yang dibangun dan dipelihara oleh masyarakat umum.[9] Pada tahun-tahun awal Islam, di bawah kekhalifahan Rasyidin dan banyak dari kekhalifahan Bani Umayyah, setiap kota umumnya hanya memiliki satu masjid Jami tempat salat Jumat diadakan, sementara masjid-masjid yang lebih kecil untuk salat rutin dibangun di lingkungan setempat.

Bahkan di beberapa bagian dunia Islam seperti di Mesir, salat Jumat awalnya tidak diizinkan di desa-desa dan di daerah lain di luar kota utama tempat masjid Jami berdiri.[10] Penguasa atau gubernur kota biasanya membangun tempat tinggalnya (dar al-imara) bersebelahan dengan masjid Jami, dan pada masa awal ini para penguasa juga menyampaikan khutbah pada saat salat jumat.[9][11] Praktik ini diwarisi dari teladan Muhammad dan diteruskan kepada para khalifah setelahnya. Di provinsi-provinsi, gubernur setempat yang memerintah atas nama khalifah diharapkan menyampaikan khutbah untuk komunitas lokal merata.[11] Mimbar, sejenis fitur tempat khutbah yang secara tradisional diberikan, juga menjadi fitur standar masjid Jami pada awal periode Abbasiyah (akhir abad kedelapan).[12][13]

Di abad-abad berikutnya, ketika dunia Islam semakin terbagi antara negara-negara politik yang berbeda, ketika populasi Muslim dan kota-kota tumbuh, dan ketika penguasa baru ingin meninggalkan tanda perlindungan mereka, menjadi umum untuk memiliki banyak masjid Jami di kota yang sama.[9][10] Misalnya, Fustat, pendahulu Kairo modern, didirikan pada abad ketujuh dengan hanya satu masjid Jami (Masjid Amru bin Ash).

Namun, pada abad ke-15, di bawah periode Mamluk, aglomerasi perkotaan Kairo dan Fustat memiliki 130 masjid Jami.[9] Faktanya, kota ini menjadi sangat jenuh dengan masjid Jami sehingga pada akhir abad ke-15 para penguasanya jarang dapat membangun masjid baru.[14] Proliferasi serupa masjid Jami terjadi di kota-kota Suriah, Irak, Iran, dan Maroko, serta di Konstantinopel (Istanbul) yang baru ditaklukkan di bawah pemerintahan Ottoman.[9]

Such limitations had significant practical repercussions, as when the Ḥanafī authorities of Bukhārā prevented the performance of Friday congregational prayers at a congregational mosque (jāmiʿ) erected in a substantial community in the region in the fifth/eleventh century and ultimately razed the building (Wheatley, 235). Shāfiʿīs further required that Friday prayers be held at only one place in each settlement.

Linguistic usage varied somewhat in course of time with conditions. In the time of ʿUmar there was properly in every town only one masd̲j̲id d̲j̲āmiʿ for the Friday service. But when the community became no longer a military camp and Islam replaced the previous religion of the people, a need for a number of mosques for the Friday service was bound to arise. This demanded mosques for the Friday service in the country, in the villages on the one hand and several Friday mosques in the town on the other. This meant in both cases an innovation, compared with old conditions, and thus there arose some degree of uncertainty. The Friday service had to be conducted by the ruler of the community, but there was only one governor in each province; on the other hand, the demands of the time could hardly be resisted and, besides, the Christian converts to Islam had been used to a solemn weekly service. (...) The great spread of Friday mosques was reflected in the language. While inscriptions of the 8th/14th century still call quite large mosques masd̲j̲id, in the 9th/15th most of them are called d̲j̲āmiʿ (cf. on the whole question, van Berchem, CIA, i, 173-4); and while now the madrasa [q.v.] begins to predominate and is occasionally also called d̲j̲āmiʿ, the use of the word masd̲j̲id becomes limited. While, generally speaking, it can mean any mosque (e.g. al-Maḳrīzī, iv, 137, of the Muʾayyad mosque), it is more especially used of the smaller unimportant mosques.
