Al-Jabbar Mosque

The Al-Jabbar Mosque is a place of worship in Gedebage, Indonesia, featuring four minarets that reach 99 meters in height and a dome covered with glass panels. The complex sits surrounded by water reservoirs that frame the entire structure and create an open setting.

Construction began in December 2017 under governor Ahmad Heryawan and was completed in December 2022 despite delays caused by the pandemic. The entire complex was built on a former swamp area called Muras Geger Hanjuang, once part of the Ancient Bandung Lake.

The 27 entrance gates display batik patterns representing different regions of West Java, making the cultural diversity of the province visible to visitors. Each gate carries its own pattern, connecting the building to local traditions in a way that travelers can see as they arrive.

The complex accommodates 33,000 people in separate indoor and outdoor areas that remain accessible for prayer times. The water surfaces around the building provide a cooling effect and are easy to see in daylight as you approach the site.

The entire site was once part of a swamp area called Muras Geger Hanjuang, which belonged to the Ancient Bandung Lake and is now symbolically recalled through the surrounding water reservoirs. This transformation of the land has changed the area from wet ground into a contained space.
