Busan Al-Fatah Mosque

Information

Busan Al-Fatah Mosque is the second Mosque that was founded in South Korea. It was built in 1980, with financial support from Fellaq Ali, former Minister of Finance of Libya.  The mosque is a white building structure with Middle East architectural style. It also features a library.

The prayer area is characterized by the domed, exquisitely-decorated ceiling and a bright blue carpet, the captivating beauty of which can be credited to the expert-led construction team, many of whom were part of the renovation team for the Sultan Ahmed Mosque in Turkey. According to mosque staff, immense attention was devoted to the following of traditional methods, such as using gold powder and special paints made from ground-up insect wings. The mosque’s beautiful dome is not only an artistic masterpiece but also an acoustic device that reflects and magnifies the sounds from the prayer area so that they resonate.
