Description

Al Barkah Grand Mosque is a landmark in Bekasi, and has undergone several renovations. It was constructed in 1890, located several meters from the town square. The main door is made of teak wood with geometric carvings typical of the Middle East.

Preparations for the construction of the Al-Barkah Grand Mosque in Bekasi city began in 2003 with the rearrangement of the layout of the town square, roads and other existing facilities. The mosque was designed to be more modern, but still characterized by Middle Eastern architecture. There was a desire from the mayor at that time to present a representative grand mosque and become an icon of the city of Bekasi. The mosque, which can accommodate up to 10,000 worshipers, only accommodated 2,500 worshipers during the implementation of the Eid al-Fitr Prayer 1443 H (May 2, 2022), because it implemented health protocols.
