Perlis State Mosque, Islamic place of worship in Arau, Malaysia

The Perlis State Mosque features a central dome with minarets and combines modern architectural elements with traditional Islamic design principles.

The current Perlis State Mosque, established in 1972, replaced the former Masjid Lama Arau, which dated back to the late 19th century.

The mosque functions as an educational center, offering programs about Islamic teachings and hosting regular religious activities for the local Muslim community.

The mosque provides separate prayer facilities for men and women, with ablution areas and spaces designed to accommodate large gatherings during festivals.

The construction of the original mosque utilized an uncommon mixture of chicken eggs, duck eggs, and various types of sugar to bond bricks together.
