As of 2019, Brunei's government has constructed more than 102 masjid (mosques), 5 surau and 11 balai ibadat (worship halls).[1] These mosques are used for more than just prayer; they are also used for communal and religious events including Quran readings, religious lectures, and Shukr dinners. The Ministry of Religious Affairs' Department of Mosque Affairs oversees all mosques in Brunei.[2]
