  This picture was taken at Kuala Perlis, Perlis.One of the Malaysia state.This picture shown the Al-Hussain floating Mosque.


THE AL-HUSSAIN MOSQUE, an imposing landmark in Kuala Perlis, is an elegant building in a resort-like setting and features modern islamic tropical architecture. The mosque was officiated by His Royal Highness the Raja Perlis Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin Ibni Al-Marhum Tuanku Syed Putra Jamalullail on 8 October 2011. Although essentially designed on the resort theme, it evolved to include the modern Islamic features. The mosque is aesthetically designed to provide a sense appreciation for nature. Selected quality materials like coral stones, broken quartz, granite, marble and pebble stones enhance the nature-friendly concept of the mosque.

The Floating mosque set amid idylic natural surroundings, extending from the Kuala Perlis shoreline is a splendid sights for visitors sailing to the coastal town from legendary Langkawi Island as well as from the shore. Located between the town’s main jetty and popular ikan bakar (BBQ fish) food couurt, the Al-Hussain Mosque is destined to be another tourism attraction in Perlis. As a place interest for both local and foreign tourists, it helps to instil a spirit of inity and goodwill between visitors and congregation. Thus, the role of the mosque is further enhanced as a place of worship and centre of solidarity among the qariah and the public.. The mosque can accommodate up to 1001 people in the main hall and in the adjacent multipurpose prayer hall. While the mosque is impressive from the outside, it needs to be seen from the inside to fully appreciate its beauty.

Perlis, in 810 sq km in size is the northernmost state in Peninsula Malaysia and has a population of 240,100 (2010 statistics).
