Abstract

Mimbar is where Khatib delivers a sermon before the Friday prayer begins. Undeniably, a mimbar built before the independence era in Malaysia is hard to find today, and there are deficiencies in research on the mosques' mimbar motifs. This research aims to identify the motifs on the mimbar before the independence era, particularly in Ipoh, Perak. Therefore, this research significantly benefits the future generation and nurtures their knowledge regarding the extrinsic values of the mimbar's aesthetics and the intrinsic meaning of its motifs that contribute to developing mimbar motifs in art and architecture in Malaysia and share the motifs' character representing Perak's state.
