Jeonju Masjid (), also known as the Abu Bakr Al‑Seddiq Masjid, is one of South Korea's eight mosques. It is located in Deokjin-gu, Jeonju, Jeollabuk-do, and serves as an important center for Islamic worship and cultural exchange for both foreign residents and Korean converts.

History

Jeonju Masjid was established in the mid‑1980s—sources suggest it was built around 1985.

Architecture

The mosque is noted for its unique architectural style that blends Islamic design with traditional Korean aesthetics. Its roof eaves and overall form evoke elements of Hanok (traditional Korean houses), symbolizing the integration of Islamic faith within the local cultural context. This fusion reflects both the religious identity of its worshippers and the broader cultural landscape of Jeonju.

Facilities and Activities

Jeonju Masjid provides facilities for the performance of all daily prayers, including provisions for wudu (ablution) and spaces for men and women in separate prayer areas. The site, covering approximately 330.6 m², is equipped with essential religious items such as prayer mats and Qurans. Services at the mosque are offered in English, Korean, and Arabic. In addition to regular prayer services—including the Friday Jumu’ah—Jeonju Masjid also hosts lectures, cultural events, and community gatherings aimed at fostering greater understanding of Islamic traditions in Korea.
