Masjid Al-Hussain (GPS: 6.39703, 100.1282) is the main mosque in Kuala Perlis. It is built on stilts over the coast, to appear as though floating over the sea. The mosque has a patterned cup-shaped dome over a single-tier hip roof. The minaret ends with a dual column. Masjid Al-Hussain looks very nice especially during sunset.

Masjid Al-Hussain was built by a local businessman, Tan Sri Mohd Ariffin Yusuf, based on design concept inspired by the Raja Muda of Perlis, Tuanku Syed Faizuddin Putra Syed Sirajuddin Jamalulail. The mosque was named in honour of Tan Sri Mohd Ariffin Yusuf's late brother.

A unique feature of Masjid Al-Hussain is that the walls are finished using a variety of items, from corals to granite, marble and pebbles, rather than painted. The cup-shaped dome bears a cream-and-blue design comprising a layer of Polyvinylidene Diffluoride that offers protection to the surface.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
