Jawa Mosque a mosque in Bangkok, Thailand. This mosque is called the Javanese mosque because it was founded by the Javanese in Bangkok. This mosque was founded on a waqf land belonging to Haji Muhammad Saleh, an overseas Javanese, around 1906.
This mosque has a Javanese architecture with a light green building colour with a pyramid roof with three steps. At a glance, it feels like seeing the Great Mosque of Kauman in Yogyakarta in a mini size.
The main building of the mosque is in the form of a rectangle measuring 12 x 12 meters with four pillars in the middle which serve as supports. In addition to the side of the Qibla direction, on the other three sides there are three wooden doors each. Outside the main building, there is a foyer with four doors made of iron bars. At the front ( mihrab), there is a wooden pulpit equipped with stairs. On the right and left there are two clock bells, also made of wood.
There are two main buildings, namely a mosque and a madrasa in the form of a house on stilts with various rows of chairs and tables under the house. While opposite the mosque there is an Islamic cemetery. The interior of the mosque really made me feel like I was in an old mosque in Java. Ornaments of poles, ceilings, pulpits and window trellises, very Indonesian style. The place for ablution also looks unique. On the left side of the mosque there is an inscription of the inauguration of the mosque in Thai. During Friday prayers the congregation can reach 200 people.
Jawa Mosque has a madrasa with 100 students. They hold Quran recitations on Sundays for adults and children on Monday-Friday.
