Masjid Al-Ittifaq, Sungai Nibong Kecil

Masjid Al-Ittifaq, Sungai Nibong Kecil, Penang (3 September 2011)


Masjid Al-Ittifaq (GPS: 5.33283, 100.2871), also known as Masjid Sungai Nibong Kecil, is an old mosque that has been renovated and expanded a few times. It is located at Kampung Seberang Paya in Sungai Nibong Kecil. The area is now often regarded as part of the Bukit Jambul locality, being right next to the Bukit Jambul Golf Course.

Masjid Al-Ittifaq began as a small surau that expanded over time to become a full-fledged mosque. Unfortunately, as with many old mosques, the expansion has erased the original architecture, leaving it with a structure without any particular architectural style.

My visit to Masjid Al-Ittifaq

I paid a visit to Masjid Al-Ittifaq on 10 February, 2014. I had the pleasure of being received by Mr Hunis Che Ngah, who volunteers as the web administrator for the mosque. I arrived at 10:00 am sharp, and was shown around the mosque.

In front of the mosque building is an Islamic school building. It is called Sekolah Agama Madrasah Tarbiah Auladiah. It is not part of the mosque proper, but belongs to the Islamic Council (Majlis Agama Islam). The building is used to conduct religious classes. It was inaugurated on 12 December, 2013.

After we have cleansed our hands and feet, Mr Husni took me into the prayer hall. He explained the five daily prayers that Muslims perform, called the solat. These can be performed at the mosque or within a surau. On the wall of the prayer hall are digital clocks showing the various prayer times, as well as the time for dawn and dusk. In addition to the solat, Muslims are expected to come to the mosque for Friday prayers. On regular days, only two rows of the prayer mat are occupied by worshippers, but on Friday, the congregation often spill into the corridors. The worshippers are led by the Imam and they call face the direction of the Ka'aba, in Mecca.

I had a very nice visit to the mosque and am warmed by the hospitality. It is nice to be reminded that Muslims are gracious people and that people of different faiths can actually live together happily.

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.
