The Asmaul Husna 99 Dome Mosque, located on the edge of Losari Beach in Makassar, is a striking new landmark and religious icon for South Sulawesi. Officially inaugurated in 2022 after construction began in 2017, the mosque is part of the Center Point of Indonesia (CPI) development in the Tanjung Bunga area. It features a unique architectural style designed by renowned architect and West Java governor Ridwan Kamil, in collaboration with local architect Mursive. The design blends modern classic and futuristic elements, with 99 colorful domes symbolizing the 99 names of Allah (Asmaul Husna), making it one of the most distinctive mosques in Indonesia.
Recognized as the largest mosque in Sulawesi and among the top ten most unique mosques in the country, the 99 Dome Mosque spans an area of 72 by 45 meters and consists of two floors. Despite its grandeur, the mosque incorporates sustainable features such as natural lighting, ventilation, acoustic walls and ceilings, and environmentally conscious water disposal systems that direct waste and rainwater into proper treatment facilities or the sea.
With a construction cost reportedly reaching IDR 182 billion, the mosque not only represents an architectural marvel but also a spiritual hub for the region. Before opening to the public, the South Sulawesi Provincial Government carefully selected four imams and two muezzins through a rigorous process. Imams were required to memorize at least 15 juz of the Qur’an, while muezzins needed to memorize at least 2, along with proficiency in Arabic, fiqh, and aqidah.
