An-Nur Jamek Mosque, Labuan, Central mosque in Labuan, Malaysia
The An-Nur Jamek Mosque is a Sunni mosque in Labuan, Malaysia, designed by Arkitek Jurubina Bertiga under Dato Baharuddin Abu Kassim. Its architecture combines Brunei Malay elements with Turkish features, resulting in a dome and two tall minarets on either side. The mosque also houses three lecture halls, the Darul Hikmah Library, administrative offices, and a VIP breakout room.
Construction was first managed by the Sabah State Government through its Islamic Religious Council (MUIS), starting on 9 June 1980, but technical problems delayed the work. On 16 April 1984, after Labuan became Malaysia's second Federal Territory, the project was taken over by the federal government and finished in 1987. Sultan Iskandar of Johor, the eighth Yang di-Pertuan Agong, opened the mosque on 1 February 1988, Federal Territory Day.
The mosque is the only mosque in the Federal Territory of Labuan, and its name An-Nur means "Light" in Arabic. It was opened on 1 February 1988 by Sultan Iskandar of Johor, the eighth Yang di-Pertuan Agong, during the 14th Federal Territory Day celebrations. Visitors can see the Darul Hikmah Library and three lecture halls used for religious classes.
The mosque is open daily from early morning through late evening and has clear access points for visitors. Guests should wear modest clothing and remove their shoes before entering, with designated areas provided for this purpose.
