Al-Akbar Mosque, Islamic mosque in Surabaya, Indonesia.

The Al-Akbar Mosque extends over 22,300 square meters with a central dome standing 27 meters high and four smaller blue domes surrounding it.

The construction started in 1995 under Mayor Soenarto Soemoprawiro's initiative, paused during the 1997 Asian crisis, and completed in 2000 under President Abdurrahman Wahid.

The mosque functions as an educational center with programs for Islamic studies, Quran memorization classes, and traditional activities for the Muslim community.

The building accommodates 59,000 worshippers and includes modern facilities spread across multiple floors connected by a floating floor system.

The mosque's 99-meter minaret represents the 99 names of Allah, while its foundation system uses over 2000 poles to ensure stability in unstable ground conditions.
