Abstract

This research aims to see the relevance of SKI material on the theme of the Umayyad Daulah culture and Islamic culture in Indonesia today. The research method used is library research (libaray research). The results of the research show that there is relevance between the culture during the Umayyad Daulah era and Islamic culture in Indonesia today. It can be seen that the architectural culture of mosques during the Umayyad period continues to develop in Indonesia today, such as the use of domes, minarets and the magnificent construction of mosques that occurred in Indonesia. From the research that has been carried out, it can be concluded that the cultural concept of Umayyad Dynasty architecture is strongly reflected in mosque buildings in Indonesia and has become the main symbol of the traditionality of mosques in the archipelago and has become part of local culture. Even mosques built without domes are considered to have abandoned local culture and become mosque architecture with a modern concept. Apart from that, the construction of towers in mosques in Indonesia is also continuing to increase the aesthetics of mosques and attract people to continue visiting mosques so that mosques become religious tourist attractions.
