Standing proud: Masjid Iktikaf Ibadul Rahman in Kampung Belukar got its name from verses 63 to 74 in the Quran in Surah Al-Furqan. — Bernama

TUMPAT: A deep interest in wooden architecture led Mohd Arpi Arifin, 45, to build a mosque in Kampung Belukar, Wakaf Baru here that draws its inspiration from the architecture of Istana Balai Besar and Kelantan Malay houses.

He said his experience serving at Istana Balai Besar for five years was what inspired him to stay close to the original architecture of the land of Cik Siti Wan Kembang in building the mosque.
