The Nur Kesyukuran theme draws inspiration from the concept of light, symbolizing how the mosque has served as a guiding force in the community’s lives for 150 years. This light, or Nur, represents the harmony of the hands, head, and heart working together.

It embodies the mosque’s legacy of action (hands), wisdom (head), and compassion (heart), illuminating the spiritual and emotional journey of the faithful and standing as a central pillar of guidance.
