Opened in 1992, Masjid Ukhuwah at the University of Indonesia is more than just a place of worship. It’s a hub of student life, echoing with the energy of 2,000 worshippers. Masjid Ukhuwah sits on a sprawling 28,000 square meter plot within the university campus. The mosque itself covers a more modest 1,444 square meters. Its single-story structure, built with reinforced masonry and brick walls topped with a tiled roof, offers a sense of serenity amidst the bustling campus. Imagine stepping through the grand entrance gate. The two-story mosque rises before you. Korridors flank the building, leading to various areas.

Beyond the daily prayers, Masjid Ukhuwah pulsates with a vibrant array of activities. Students gather for pengajian, or religious study sessions.

Beyond its spiritual role, Masjid Ukhuwah offers practical amenities. A library, secretariat office, multimedia sound system, and ample parking complement the prayer spaces. The blend of spiritual reflection and community engagement makes Masjid Ukhuwah a vital part of the University of Indonesia.
