An-Nur Mosque, Islamic place of worship in Alor Village, Dili, East Timor.

The An-Nur Mosque contains two floors, with the ground level housing a prayer hall and the upper floor containing educational facilities.

The mosque was established in 1955 by Hasan Bin Abdulah Balatif, the leader of Alor Village, and underwent substantial renovations in March 1981.

The mosque represents the Islamic presence in East Timor, where it functions as a center for Muslim religious practices and education.

The mosque provides prayer spaces, ablution facilities, and a library containing Islamic literature for the local Muslim community in Dili.

During Portuguese colonial rule, the mosque functioned as a gathering point for political resistance among the Muslim population of East Timor.
