Continued from Masjid (Mosque of) Bandar Baru Bukit Kayu Hitam.

I feel everyone knows that Bukit Kayu Hitam is a main entrance to the nation of Thailand by land. So we then entered the nation and not long after found the first mosque which could be reached from the main road.

Although Thailand is a Buddhist nation its southern parts have many Muslim population. This is because these areas originally belong to Muslim kingdoms before it was colonised by Thailand.

OK. I can't remember the actual name of this area. I feel it is inside the province or district of Sadao. Luckily the name of mosque is written in Jawi script at the roof, that is Masjid (mosque of) Dar Al Iman or as pronounced according to Arabic grammatical rules, Masjid Darul Iman.

Now let us have a closer look.

Looks like there is a place for cooking at the right front side.
There's also a beduk (traditional drum used to signal certain occasions like time of prayers)...
Praying hall.
Di belakang saya dapat melihat ramai orang sedang tidur. Nampaknya mereka orang Tabligh. Kalau begitu masjid ada adalah salah satu tempat tumpuan mereka. Untuk makluman ini adalah artikel ke 500 di blogspot ini. Menariknya ia juga merupakan artikel ke 5 dipaparkan di sini untuk perjalanan ke utara bulan Ramadhan...
Front-most section.

At the back I could see many people sleeping. Looks like they are members of the Tabligh movement (an Islamic missionary movement). If that is the case then this mosque must be one of their focal points. For information this is the 500th article in this blogspot. Interestingly it is also the 5th article to be featured here for the trip to north in the month of Ramadhan...
