Al-Jabbar Mosque

Gedebage, Indonesia · built 2022

Al-Jabbar Grand Mosque (Masjid Raya Al Jabbar) is a mosque located in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. Because it is surrounded by a reservoir, the mosque is sometimes referred to as the Al Jabbar Floating Mosque. The mosque is situated in the Gedebage district in eastern Bandung. Al-Jabbar, meaning The Compeller in Arabic, is one of the 99 names of Allah. "Aljabar" is the Indonesian word for algebra, which was founded by a Muslim. Coincidentally, "Jabar" is also an acronym for Jawa Barat and a nickname for the province of West Java; thus, the name Masjid Al Jabbar or Al Jabar can also be translated as "Mosque in West Java" or "West Java Mosque".
