Baitul Makmur Meulaboh Grand Mosque, Islamic prayer complex in Meulaboh, Indonesia.
Baitul Makmur is a mosque in Meulaboh featuring three large central domes and two smaller dome-shaped water towers painted in brown and red tones. The building is a spacious prayer complex with carefully designed areas for worship and gatherings.
The mosque was built in 1999 and later played an important role in distributing relief supplies after the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami. The building evolved from a place of worship into a center for emergency aid for the affected region.
The mosque serves the community as a gathering place for religious learning and shared worship, where visitors can observe daily rituals and celebrations. Families and neighbors regularly come together here to participate in Islamic activities and study sessions.
The complex provides ample space on its grounds, making it easy for visitors to arrive and explore the areas. It is wise to wear respectful clothing and be aware of prayer times when visiting the site.
The building combines architectural influences from Arabic, Indian, and Acehnese traditions in an unusual blend. The mihrab stands out particularly with its decoration of bronze elements and gold accents subtly worked into the overall design.
