Why Visit

A Mosque That Floats with Meaning

Seaside Serenity Meets Spiritual Grandeur

Positioned next to the Kuala Perlis Jetty, Masjid Al-Hussain extends into the ocean, a 50-meter bridge connecting worshippers from the mainland to peace. Dubbed the “Floating Mosque,” it’s both a landmark and a legacy.

A Gift of Faith and Family

Funded by Tan Sri Mohd. Ariffin Yusuf and inspired by Raja Muda Perlis, Tuanku Syed Faizuddin Putra, the mosque honors the memory of Ariffin’s late brother, Datuk Dr. Mohd. Hussain.

Built over four years at a cost of RM 12 million, the mosque was inaugurated on 8 August 2011.
