Jami Mosque of Taluak, Historic mosque in Taluak Ampek Suku, Indonesia.

The Jami Mosque of Taluak is a one-floor mosque whose 13 × 13 m prayer hall is fronted by a 13 m long, 3 m wide walled porch on the southeast, reached by stairs at the left and right ends of the facade. Its three-tiered pyramidal roofs are steep and concave to shed tropical rain, with gaps between the levels for light and ventilation.

The mosque was built in 1860 by Haji Abdul Majid and originally had wooden roofs. It was repaired and reinforced after the 2007 Sumatra earthquake affected the structure.

The building blends Minangkabau architectural features with Arabic design details. This mix shows how local and Islamic traditions have come together and shaped the space over time.

The prayer hall measures 13 by 13 metres, and the walled porch on its southeast side is 13 metres long and 3 metres wide. Entry stairs sit at the left and right ends of the facade, each under its own roof, rather than in the centre. Three pakokan pools for ablution stand in the grounds, usually stocked with freshwater fish.

The minaret, called manaruh locally, stands apart from the prayer hall. Its three tiers carry different ornament: Persian-style broken arches at the base, Arabic calligraphy on the tapering middle section, and an onion dome on the open top. Minarets of this form were introduced to Minangkabau in the early 19th century by the Padri reformers.
