Islam telah memberi sumbangan yang besar dalam perkembangan ilmu falak syarie hasil daripada ketokohan ilmuan-ilmuan Islam silam. Mereka telah memberi sumbangan yang banyak dalam perkembangan falak syarie pada masa yang sama membantu Baitul Hikmah menjadi pusat rujukan dan kajian yang ulung. Di Malaysia, pengajian falak syarie semakin mendapat tempat yang mana kini subjek ini boleh didapati di beberapa Universiti. Walaubagaimanapun, cabang ilmu ini tidak di ajar secara rasmi di peringkat rendah kecuali di beberapa buah sekolah dan sumber rujukan yang boleh didapati adalah daripada perpustakaan awam. Kajian ini dijalankan untuk mengenalpasti peranan yang dimainkan oleh perpustakaan-perpustakaan awam negeri Perak dan Selangor dalam pengajian falak syarie. Data-data yang dikumpul daripada kajian ini merupakan data primer. Penganalisaan data penting seperti jumlah buku falak yang terdapat di perpustakaan dijalankan untuk perbandingan antara perpustakaan awam. Hasil kajian menunjukkan sejauh mana peranan yang dimainkan oleh perpustakaan awam negeri beserta langkah penambahbaikan dan cadangan dalam meningkatkan kadar efisiensi perpustakaan awam negeri dalam pengajian falak syarie.

This paper is based on an analysis of typological plan and main structures in several traditional mosques in Peninsular Malaysia. Emphasis is given on main prayer area and the main structure which supports the mosques’ roof system. Traditional or early mosque was identified by its multi-tiered pyramidal roofs. Hence, objective of this study is to identify the forms and categories of the mosque on the building structure. Nowadays, the unique characteristic of this mosque has survived the test of time and can still be viewed on various traditional mosques. This exceptional roof system has put the mosques in its own exclusive circle, different from the rest of other mosques in the Islamic world. Thus, this study involves an analysis of 13 mosques which were constructed between 1700 to 1900 AD in Peninsular Malaysia. Finding of this study shows that the main prayer area is square-shaped, supported by four central columns in the middle of it. The four main structures which raised the roof system had influenced the shape and architecture of the multi-tiered pyramidal roofs of mosques in Peninsular Malaysia.
