Have you ever heard of a mosque being officially opened on a Sultan’s birthday? Masjid Ar-Rahman was. This beautiful mosque, located in the Kampong Tanjong Bunut, was inaugurated on September 14, 2018. This date coincided with the 72nd birthday of Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah. This mosque is a relatively new addition to Brunei’s landscape. But it already holds a special place in the hearts of the locals. It stands as a testament to Brunei’s rich Islamic heritage and the strong bond between the monarchy and the people. While Masjid Ar-Rahman might not boast the grandeur of Brunei’s two national mosques, it plays a vital role in serving the local community. It’s not just a place of worship, you know. It also serves as a hub for social and religious activities. This echoes the historical role that mosques have played in Brunei for centuries.
