Masjid (Mosque of) Zainab, Lumut, Brunei

Pada hari Jumaat semasa di Brunei saya pergi ke tempat bernama Lumut  lalu bersolat Jumaat di masjid ini.  Letaknya berdekatan Seria, sebuah kawasan yang banyak menghasilkan minyak
On Friday while in Brunei I went to Lumut and did the Jumaat prayers at this mosque. Its location is near Seria, an area which produces a lot of oil 


Ia adalah sebuah masjid yang dibina oleh orang persendirian sebelum diserahkan kepada jabatan agama untuk diselenggara.
It is a mosque built by a private individual before it was handed to the religious department for maintenance.


Saya tertarik dengan kombinasi kubah-kubah yang ada.
I was attracted to the combination of domes available.






Kubahnya ada banyak tetapi menara azan yang kelihatan cuma satu.
It has many domes but there's only one call to prayer tower in view.



Menurut ceritanya masjid ini dibina oleh seorang hartawan dari Seria yang kehilangan anak perempuannya ketika sedang belajar di United Kingdom, akibat satu penyakit kalau tak salah ingatan.
According to the stories this mosque was built by a wealthy man from Seria who lost his daughter who was then studying in the United Kingdom, because of a disease if memory serves me right.


Anak itu bernama Zainab dan masjid inipun diberi nama sempenanya.
The daughter's name was Zainab and this mosque was then named after her.



Sekarang mari lihat ke dalam.
Now let us have a look inside.




Tak payahlah diberi apa lagi komen ya. Lihat sahaja apa yang ada...
There's no need to give more comments ya. Just look at whatever's available...

  1. My hometown mosque. Well, it's actually Lumut, not Seria. Seria is another 15 minutes drive and there they have Masjid Seria.
