Experience the serene beauty of Masjid Al-Badr Seribu Selawat, an architectural gem gracefully extending over the waters of the Straits of Malacca. Located in Kampung Teluk Gedung on Pangkor Island, this mosque stands as Perak’s first floating mosque, symbolizing spiritual devotion and cultural heritage. Its name, meaning "A Thousand Blessings", is inspired by the 1,000 prayers intricately inscribed on its walls and pillars, showcasing exquisite Islamic calligraphy.
The mosque’s design is a harmonious blend of traditional Perak architecture with Turkish and Middle Eastern influences. Its striking blue dome, towering minaret, and vibrant Islamic motifs create a breathtaking sight, especially as they reflect upon the surrounding waters. Covering an area of 1,708.8 square meters, the mosque can accommodate up to 1,500 worshippers, embodying both grandeur and functionality.
Beyond its architectural allure, Masjid Al-Badr serves as a welcoming space for all visitors. Non-Muslims are invited to explore its serene environment outside of prayer times, with modest attire provided to ensure respectful visitation. The thoughtful design, including floral motifs reminiscent of Perak’s traditional embroidery, and the tranquil setting offer a peaceful retreat for reflection and appreciation of Malaysia’s rich cultural tapestry.
A visit to Masjid Al-Badr Seribu Selawat is more than a sightseeing experience; it’s an opportunity to immerse oneself in the harmonious blend of faith, art and community that defines Pangkor Island’s unique charm.
