The Building Concept and Layout

  





The picture of minaret on the left was built with pagoda concept that resemble to a Chinese Pagoda. It has six-storey of building and was erected at the corner and not very near from the mosque. This square standing pagoda-like minaret structured with spiral staircases all the way to the top.
For each level of storey, there has small windows that act as ventilation and viewpoints from the inside.





The main interior design of the mosque is focuses on the mihrab wall and a hut that was placed on the left side called minbar. The mihrab is attached like a maksura with four round column arcades.




There are four belian timber columns from the original mosque which support the roof structure on the top most.The top of the three-tiered roof gives way to generous clerestory windows all around. The roof of the mosque is crowned by a mastaka of which the height to its pinnacle would enable the whole mosque to be inscribed into an almost perfect cube.
