Hassanal Bolkiah Mosque, Islamic prayer center in Mukim Mentiri, Brunei.
Hassanal Bolkiah Mosque is a prayer facility in Mukim Mentiri featuring white walls decorated with geometric Islamic patterns. The building accommodates approximately 600 worshippers and includes separate prayer areas for men and women.
The mosque was built after fire destroyed the previous religious building in April 2017. Construction of the new structure took place between May and June of that year.
The mosque serves as a meeting place where the local Muslim community gathers for prayers and religious observances throughout the week. It reflects the spiritual life of the neighborhood through its daily rhythms of worship and community activities.
The site welcomes visitors during prayer times and special religious events throughout the year. Those visiting should wear modest clothing and check guidelines about entry before arriving.
The entire building was constructed from the ground up in under 8 weeks, demonstrating the capabilities of Brunei's construction industry. This remarkably rapid completion remains a noted achievement in the region's building sector.
