Al-Hussain Mosque, Mosque in Kuala Perlis, Malaysia

Al-Hussain Mosque stands beside the Kuala Perlis Jetty, with part of its structure extending over the Strait of Malacca. A 50-metre bridge leads to the prayer hall. The exterior walls are left unpainted and faced with coral, quartz, granite, marble and pebbles, while the golden-yellow dome carries blue motifs in Perlis's state colours.

The mosque was opened on 8 October 2011 after four years of construction at a cost of about RM 12 million, funded by businessman Tan Sri Mohd. Ariffin Yusuf. It was named after his brother Datuk Dr. Mohd. Hussain, who died in 1999 before fulfilling his wish to build a mosque. The design was inspired by the Raja Muda of Perlis, Tuanku Syed Faizuddin Putra.

The mosque serves as a gathering hub where residents come daily for prayers and religious classes. During Islamic holidays, special events here bring families together from across the region.

Visitors can enter outside prayer times, but should wear appropriate clothing and remove shoes before entering prayer halls. It's best to check ahead about daily prayer schedules to allow time for a quiet visit.

During high tide, the stilted structure appears to float above the water, creating an optical illusion. This phenomenon is especially striking during monsoon season when water levels rise noticeably.
