Shiratal Mustaqiem Mosque, Religious landmark in Samarinda, Indonesia

The Shiratal Mustaqiem Mosque features traditional Indonesian architecture with a 21-meter octagonal tower and extensive wooden construction using ulin materials throughout its structure.

Said Abdurachman bin Assegaf initiated the construction in 1881 after receiving permission from Sultan Kutai Aji Muhammad Sulaiman, who later became the first imam.

The mosque stands as a central religious institution in Samarinda, transforming what was once a gambling area into a neighborhood now known as Kampung Mesjid.

The mosque spans 625 square meters with a 16-meter terrace and maintains regular prayer schedules while welcoming visitors who follow the appropriate dress code.

The mosque's tower, added in 1901, was funded by Dutch merchant Henry Dasen, creating an architectural fusion of Indonesian and European influences.
