Coinciding with the concept of a mosque as a one stop center that becomes a stopover and meeting place for various purposes in line with the recommendations of the Kedah Islamic Religious Affairs Department (JHEAIK), Al-Busyra mosque in Pekan Merbok, Kedah was upgraded to meet this goal.

Chairman and Imam of Al-Busyra Merbok Mosque, Mohd Firdaus Mat Akhir, said that the transformation was carried out on the old mosque that was built in 1972 with a modern design and was given a new lease of life in accordance with current trends.

According to him, since taking over the administration in 2018, several initiatives have been successfully implemented including upgrading the prayer room, adding mosque design art decorations, building toilets and a food court with the concept of a rest and treatment stop (R&R), a mini library and comfortable parking facilities.
