Keywords:
cabaran, fungsi sosial, pelancongan masjid, potensi, strategiAbstract
Pelancongan masjid di Malaysia dilihat sebagai satu pendekatan yang mampu memperkukuh fungsi sosial institusi masjid, di samping memperluas peranan masjid dalam kerangka pelancongan Islam. Kajian ini bertujuan meneroka strategi dan cabaran pelaksanaan konsep pelancongan masjid gaya Malaysia yang berteraskan nilai komuniti, dakwah, dan pemeliharaan kesucian institusi masjid. Kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan meneliti kandungan sumber seperti literatur akademik hasil kajian terdahulu yang berkaitan dengan pelancongan masjid. Dapatan menunjukkan bahawa model Malaysia menampilkan ciri yang tersendiri berbanding pendekatan antarabangsa, dengan menekankan integrasi harmoni antara fungsi ibadah dan pengalaman pelawat dalam situasi yang beretika, mendidik dan inklusif. Kajian ini seterusnya mengemukakan kerangka konseptual pelancongan masjid yang bersifat holistik, meliputi aspek tadbir urus, pendidikan, infrastruktur dan pengupayaan ekonomi komuniti. Kesimpulannya, pelancongan masjid berpotensi menjadi platform pengukuhan peranan sosial masjid serta pembangunan komuniti sekiranya dilaksanakan secara berstrategi dan berpandukan nilai Islam yang syumul.
