Pehin Khatib Abdullah Mosque (Malay: Masjid Pehin Khatib Abdullah) is a mosque located in Kulapis, a settlement in Brunei-Muara District, Brunei. It was inaugurated in May 2017; it can accommodate 700 worshippers.[1] The mosque serves the need of the Muslim residents in Kulapis for Islamic communal prayers and activities, in particular the Jumu'ah or Friday prayers.

History

[edit]

The construction of the mosque began on 14 September 2015 and completed in less than two years.[2] It was officially opened on 19 May 2017 by Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah, the Sultan of Brunei after attending the first ever Jumu'ah being held in the mosque.[2] The mosque was funded as a waqf or endowment from an anonymous donor and built on about 2 hectares (4.9 acres) of state land.[3][4][1]
