Yayasan Al-Bukhari Mosque

Yayasan Al-Bukhari Mosque, Islamic prayer center in Jalan Hang Tuah, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Yayasan Al-Bukhari Mosque on Jalan Hang Tuah has a single blue onion-shaped dome with geometric patterns modelled on Isfahan's Shah Mosque, its exterior clad in Italian glass ceramics. Two minarets follow the design of Al-Masjid an-Nabawi in Medina. The 2,700 m² complex holds two prayer halls for 1,600 to 3,000 worshippers, plus a community hall, classrooms, an orphanage, an old folks' home and a mortuary.

The mosque replaced the 147-year-old Surau Babul Jannah on the same site, land gazetted by the British government in 1922 as an Islamic cemetery. The project was proposed in 2001 with approval from the Mufti of the Federal Territory; construction ran from September 2004 to September 2006 at a cost of RM12 million, funded entirely by the Albukhary Foundation under Tan Sri Syed Mokhtar Albukhary. It was handed over to JAWI on 25 May 2007, and the first Friday prayer was led by the Yemeni scholar Habib Umar bin Hafiz.

The mosque's name links it to the Albukhary Foundation, whose main work is sponsoring poor Muslims' pilgrimage to Mecca; by the end of 2012 it had sent 772 pilgrims. The complex also houses a community hall, classrooms, an orphanage, an old folks' home and a mortuary. The first Friday prayer, on 25 May 2007, was led by the Yemeni scholar Habib Umar bin Hafiz.

The mosque stands on Jalan Hang Tuah, opposite the Hang Tuah LRT and monorail station and next to Victoria Institution. It is entered from that side of the road, with the prayer halls and ablution areas inside the complex. The building also houses a community hall, classrooms, an orphanage, an old folks' home and a mortuary.

The mosque's first Friday prayer, on 25 May 2007, was led by the Yemeni scholar Habib Umar bin Hafiz. The site had been gazetted by the British government as an Islamic cemetery in 1922, and the mosque replaced the 147-year-old Surau Babul Jannah that stood there.
