Masjid Kuah, Pulau Langkawi

Assalamu'alaikum,

Hamba sekali lagi ke Pulau Langkawi pada 17-19 Mei 2013 kerana ada satu bengkel yang perlu dihadiri.  Lihat beberapa artikel yang lalu sewaktu hamba dan keluarga ke Langkawi pada bulan Disember 2012 atas sebab  hamba ada kursus... bagi makan Helang...kereta kabel.....Kilim Geoforest Park.....Gunung Matcincang.....Pantai Cenang.......Gunung Raya......Perkampungan Budaya..... Kali ini hamba tidak membawa keluarga.  Hari terakhir pada 19 Mei 2013 (Ahad), hamba menyewa kereta Proton untuk menyelesaikan beberapa misi yang tidak dibuat semasa kunjungan Disember 2012 yang lalu iaitu ziarah masjid.  Apabila mendapat tahu perlu pergi semula ke Pulau Langkawi atas urusan Bengkel,  terasa 'disuruh menyelesaikan misi lalu' yang tidak ditunaikan. Masjid pertama yang hamba singgah adalah Masjid Kuah atau Masjid al-Hana, Pulau Langkawi.












Al-Hana Mosque

Al-Hana Mosque is billed as the largest and most popular mosque in Langkawi. A peach-and-gold structure situated to the west of the picturesque Lagenda Langkawi Dalam Taman, along Persiaran Putra, the mosque is topped with a gold onion-shaped dome and enjoys a great location close to the waterfront. 

Also known as Masjid Al- Hana, it is located in Kuah and the whitewashed shrine is close to many of the island’s best-known tourist attractions including Dataran Lang and the Kompleks Jeti Pelancongan. Plus, it is only a short walk away from many of Kuah’s duty-free stores.

Featuring Moorish-style architecture, Masjid Al-Hana is not as ornate as some of Malaysia’s other mosques but the structure is eye catching. Erected in 1959, it incorporates Islamic motifs from Uzbekistan into its Malay-style architecture and follows conventional mosque design: there is a gilded main dome and several smaller peach-coloured domes surrounding it.

The main prayer hall has carvings and selected verses from the Quran etched into the walls and fittings; the wooden minbar – a pulpit in the mosque where the imam (leader of prayer) stands to deliver sermons – is elaborately carved.
