Muslim Culture

Islam was established in Sulu in the 14th century and in


Mindanao in the 15th century
Two (2) types of mosques developed in the Philippines:
The MASJID is associated with any place of worship
includes a bulbous dome and a minaret as an architectural
element. It is a large and more permanent structure, built on
foundations, often to be found near a river or body of
water, where the faithful perform rituals of ablution.
The LANGGAL (in Tausug) RANGGAR (in Maranao),
which means to meet, refers to a small prayer house and
mostly in rural areas.

The Masjid

The masjid was originally a multi-tiered bamboo or


wooden structure reminiscent of the Chinese
pagoda or Javanese temple.
The

oldest standing mosque in the Philippines, found in


Tubig, Indangan, Simunul Islands, Tawi-Tawi, is a
prototype or multi-layered roof of the pagoda-style
mosque. (Sheik Karim al Makdum Mosque)

although some have opted to settle on land and use their
boats only for fishing.
A HOUSEBOAT (LEPA) has a lifespan of 10 to 15 years.
The interior of houseboat is divided into three (3) major
zones: for sleeping, for cooking and for storage of fishing
tools.
The boat is balanced by an outrigger or katig, which is
anchored to the main structure by a bow-like wooden frame
called batangan.
With the death of family head, the boat is transformed into
a coffin.
