Sultan Ibrahim Jamek Mosque historical mosque's in Bandar Maharani, Johor


It is built with influences of Western style and Middle Eastern style.
The first Muar Jamek Mosque was completed in 1887.
Like many buildings during that era, the mosque displays distinct Colonial influences in its architecture, with a mixture of Islamic and traditional Malay elements. Its distinctive minaret is perhaps its most prominent feature – a striking example of East meets West design. Doric-type Classic Roman columns adorn its balconies and porticoes. An antique sundial sits within Masjid Jamek’s compound, which was used to tell prayer times. Its ablution area which sits within a courtyard is quite a sight to behold with a fountain in the middle of the ablution pool.
