Luar Batang Mosque, Islamic pilgrimage site in North Jakarta, Indonesia

The mosque features twelve columns in each of its two main halls, positioned near the western side of Sunda Kelapa Harbor

Built in 1739, the mosque houses the tomb of Habib Husein bin Abu Bakr bin Abdillah al-Aydarus, who migrated from Hadhramaut to Batavia.

Prayer halls reflect Indonesian architectural elements with carved wooden pillars, traditional ornaments, and geometric patterns across the interior surfaces.

Visitors must wear appropriate clothing covering shoulders and knees, and women need to cover their hair before entering the prayer areas.

The building required directional adjustments in 1827 when Muhammad Arshad al-Banjari discovered its misalignment with the Qibla orientation.
