Masjid Kayu Cengal di Malaysia

Masjid Ulul Albab is a cengal wood mosque located in Kampung Seberang Jerteh, Jerteh, Terengganu, Malaysia. The architecture of this mosque leans towards Malay Islamic architecture. It can accommodate 1500 worshippers at a time.

Sultan of Terengganu, Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin, officially inaugurated this mosque on Friday, February 24, 2012. Also present were the Chief Minister of Terengganu, Datuk Seri Ahmad Said; State Secretary, Datuk Mazlan Ngah, as well as state dignitaries and prominent figures.

The floor is elevated from ground level to prevent water and animals from entering the mosque. Its roof is in the form of overlapping roofs, three tiers tapering upwards to facilitate rainwater drainage to prevent the easy decay of wooden materials. Between the roof tiers, there are window-shaped spaces for air and light ventilation to provide comfort, while the walls, windows, and screens serve their functions.

Nearly 90 percent of this mosque is made of cengal wood, with nyatuh and bala used to coat the concrete using the mortise and tenon method.
