Great Mosque of Solok

Great Mosque of Solok, Religious center in Aro IV Korong, Indonesia

The Great Mosque of Solok, or Masjid Agung Al-Muhsinin, stands on Jalan Datuak Perpatih Nan Sabatang in Aro IV Korong, Lubuk Sikarah. Its main prayer hall is a two-storey structure with a 35 by 35 metre open-plan floor, and four 40-metre minarets surround the building. The design draws on the Atta'Awun Mosque in Puncak, Bogor, West Java.

The mosque was first established in 1984 without grand mosque status. After severe damage from the March 2007 earthquakes, reconstruction began on 20 August 2009, funded by Rp35.45 billion from the Solok City budget and Rp1.18 billion in donations. Deputy Minister of Religious Affairs Nasaruddin Umar inaugurated it on 14 December 2011.

The mosque hosts regional-scale religious events such as tabligh akbar and jemaah gatherings, particularly for Solok. Its name, Al-Muhsinin, refers to the benefactors whose infak of Rp1.18 billion helped fund construction. Visitors can see the four 40-metre towers that frame the prayer hall.

The prayer hall occupies two floors of a 35 × 35 metre plan, so visitors can enter on the upper level and look down over the main floor. The building faces Jalan Datuak Perpatih Nan Sabatang in Aro IV Korong, Lubuk Sikarah, and four 40-metre minarets mark it from a distance. Regional tabligh akbar gatherings draw large crowds, so time a visit outside those events.

The design was modelled on the Atta'Awun Mosque at Puncak in Bogor, West Java, not on Minangkabau building traditions. Four minarets, each 40 metres tall, stand at the corners of the 35 × 35 metre two-storey prayer hall.
