Puncak Alam Mosque
History
Masjid Puncak Alam was commissioned in 2007 to serve the community of the newly established Puncak Alam housing estate and the booming neighboring population. It was envisioned from the onset that the whole development will be a symbolic complex that will function as a much-needed amenity for both religious and community events. The Phase 1 development was completed in June 2014
Urban and Architectural
The design and construction of this mosque complex features a unique and attractive modern Mediterranean concept. From a distance, the main building can be seen flanked by two minarets that symbolize the shahadah word. The blue roof depicts humility towards the Creator of the universe, Allah SWT
The six small domes represent the pillars of faith while the five sides of the mihrab represent the pillars of Islam. Arabesque motifs that are symbols of Islamic architecture are also used to decorate the gates and packaging of the mosque complex.
Among the facilities found in the complex are the main prayer hall, open prayer hall, multi-purpose hall, administrative office and lecture hall, toilet, ablution place, car and motorcycle parking.
However, there are several advantages of the Puncak Alam Mosque compared to other mosques. Among them is a very spacious and comfortable ablution and prayer room, disabled-friendly facilities such as ramps for wheelchairs, quality toilet and bathroom finishes and interior design that looks luxurious and stylish.
