Artikel ini membincangkan analisis kajian literatur berkaitan istilah falak dalam tradisi keilmuan Islam dengan meletakkan fokus perbincangan dalam peranan dan kepentingan perkamusan falak, khususnya Qamus Dar Al-Ilm Al-Falaki. Isu kajian timbul daripada keterbatasan penyelidikan ilmiah yang menganalisis istilah falak secara sistematik daripada perspektif leksikografi, meskipun istilah tersebut adalah asas penting dalam pemahaman ilmu falak serta penggunaannya dalam ibadah dan pendidikan Islam. Kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif melalui analisis kajian literatur berkaitan ilmu falak, peristilahan falak, leksikografi falak dan penterjemahan istilah Arab-Melayu. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan bahawa istilah falak bukan sekadar terminologi teknikal, sebaliknya mencerminkan kerangka epistemologi yang menghubungkan dimensi bahasa, sains dan agama, di samping menyoroti peranan kamus falak sebagai instrumen konseptual dalam penyelarasan dan pemeliharaan ketepatan istilah. Diharapkan kajian dapat menjadi rujukan asas yang memacu pemahaman konsep dan penggunaan istilah falak secara lebih tersusun dan sistematik, sekali gus menyumbang kepada pemantapan pengajaran dan penyelidikan ilmu falak dalam konteks pengajian Islam kontemporari.

This article discusses a literature-based analytical study on falak terminology within the Islamic scholarly tradition, with particular emphasis on the role and significance of falak lexicography, specifically Qamus Dar Al-Ilm Al-Falaki. The research issue arises from the limited number of scholarly studies that systematically examine falak terminology from a lexicographical perspective, despite its fundamental importance in understanding falak science and its application in Islamic worship and education. This study adopts a qualitative approach through a literature review of works related to falak studies, falak terminology, falak lexicography, and Arabic–Malay terminological translation. The findings indicate that falak terminology extends beyond technical nomenclature, instead reflecting an epistemological framework that integrates linguistic, scientific, and religious dimensions. Furthermore, the study highlights the role of falak dictionaries as conceptual instruments in the standardisation and preservation of terminological accuracy. It is hoped that this research will serve as a foundational reference to promote a more structured and systematic understanding and application of falak terminology, thereby contributing to the strengthening of teaching and research in falak studies within the context of contemporary Islamic scholarship.
