Masjid Jamek Sultan Ibrahim, Muar (11 September, 2016)

Masjid Jamek Muar, also known as Masjid Jamek Sultan Ibrahim (GPS: 2.04639, 102.55838), is a beautiful mosque in Muar, Johor. It is located along Jalan Petrie, with the Muar River behind it. The mosque was built in 1925, replacing the original mosque on the same site that was constructed in 1887. The new mosque was designed in the Classical style with an eclectic blend of Middle Eastern elements. The architect was a local draughtsman, Sulaiman Alias. It includes an ornate 4-storey tall minaret and beautiful Palladian Venetian windows. It was completed in 1930 at a cost of M$10,000, and opened by the Tengku Mahkota of Johor, with the Menteri Besar of Johor, Dato Mustafa Jaafar, in attendance.

In 1999, a second Muar Jamek Mosque was built across the Muar River in Tanjung Agas. It is of the same design as Masjid Jamek Sultan Ibrahim, and is called Masjid Sultan Ismail.

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.
