After our visit to my sisters Amah and Zai houses, we drove towards JB and made a brief stop to visit a new mosque in Jasin.

Masjid Al-Ghaffar is located in Taman Maju, Jasin. The construction ​​of this mosque is at its first phase. The second phase will include the imam, bilal and noja quarters as well as a temporary detention home for troubled families. This mosque is built on a hill and is the largest mosque in Jasin.
