Al-Kauthar Mosque, Islamic place of worship in Tawau, Malaysia.
The white building with a 58-meter-high minaret and central dome stands prominently along the beachfront, offering views of Pulau Sebatik island.
The construction of this RM31.5 million religious complex began in 1997 and reached completion in 2002, with official inauguration by Yang di-Pertuan Agong in 2004.
The mosque incorporates traditional Islamic architectural elements throughout its structure while serving as the main religious gathering space for Muslims in Sabah state.
This religious facility accommodates 17,000 worshippers and includes a library, seminar hall, and administrative offices for educational and community activities.
A tsunami warning tower with alert siren system was installed at the mosque in 2005 by the Malaysian Meteorological Department.
