The mosque itself can accommodate around 20,000 worshipers.[3] The area of the mosque with the size of 50,000 m² is often referred as one of the largest in Southeast Asia.[4]

The mosque has three domes, one main dome and two small domes. The entire dome is coated with gold as thick as two to three millimeters and decorated with crystal mosaics, making it the most unique feature of the mosque.
