Lombok Island, Nusa Tenggara Barat known as a thousand Mosques Island. Mosques built by the Muslim community from the capital of the province to village mosques throughout the Lombok Island. Mosques were built with their own or governmental organizations, received donation from the Regional Government, Religious Organizations or from public assistance overseas, especially from Middle Eastern countries.

Of course, to the huge funds needed to scale the size of each mosque. An interesting phenomenon applied by a committee of the mosque to anticipate the shortage of funds, which is to build domes and minarets first to wake up properly (including painting and decorating the dome and minarets appropriate the design).
