Masjid Al-Bukhary

Open

Masjid Al-Bukhary in Alor Setar is a legacy project by Tan Sri Syed Mokhtar Al-Bukhary, built near the old Alor Malai mosque, once founded by his grandfather. Designed by architect Abdul Harris Othman, the mosque blends various Islamic architectural styles, inspired by the Silk Road and the Middle East, to create a unique, integrated complex that includes facilities like a hospital, classrooms, and an orphanage. Set amid paddy fields, it features a cooling courtyard with gardens and fountains, a grand Safavid-inspired main dome, twin Mamluk-style minarets, and a façade adorned with Moroccan arches, embodying both tradition and modernity.
