Sabah State Mosque — Attraction in Borneo

We would not deny the beauty of the mosque and finds that there are unique features within the mosque itself.

There is a water feature that is at the back of the main hall. And the stairs are uniquely Sabah. There are also small pockets branched out from main hall towards the carpark.

These pockets are for toilets and ablution.. we also noticed that these branches are rather stretched out which makes it a bit of a challenge for those less-abled, thus the need to put in more effort to get wudhu and pray.

We also observed that there is a vast area to park vehicles. This carpark is a shared space with the Souq beside, which you can check out from our images uploaded.

We do feel lines can be drawn/painted to identify Qiblat and avoid mistaken direction during solat. There are preconstructed lines due to design, which is pretty but are less practical.

Another improvement that we may need to share is the ladies prayer area, maybe it could be slightly enlarged. This would help our family members come and entice them to the mosque.

All in all, the mosque is pretty and has very functional designs. Walk around and let the mosque captivate you with...

Located at a most strategic location, the design is simple yet eye appealing. no fancy not extreme aesthetic finishing. more and more visitor especially foreign tourist love to transit just to take picture. perhaps its like another temple at everywhere. Some people not allowed to come inside because there is only a place for pray ,just looking outside it’s enough

the mosque experienced big event and some renovation to cater the local demand especially the praying hall and event hall.

Pretty building with nice details. If you’re foreigner, I don’t think you can enter. I was told not to enter but maybe it is because I walked around during prayer time. The buildings gold accents shine bright and there is some nice greenery around the side. I couldn’t go to the door to take photo of beautiful ceiling :( The structure of building needs some touch ups due to material cracking apart. Not so easy to walk...
