Description


The building of Basuna Mosque was an alternative solution to rebuild "Abu Stait Mosque, 300 years" which distroyed due to the floods.

The design is intended to look into the connection between the created and the Creator, as shown in the 99 names of Allah in the Mihrab by the alabaster stone. and counterclockwise columns as "al tawaf" movement.

There is a multi-use hall in this mosque which designed to accommodate activities during Fridays and Ramadan. It is also designed to serve an array of purposes all year round, such as temporary medical clinics, after-school and literacy tuition classes. Also, there are 4 entrances to the building, two of which could be made accessible for worshippers with special needs. The ceiling dome  provides the natural light and ventilation.
