With the largest Islamic population globally, Indonesia grows with many mosques spreading in every subdistrict, even to small villages. Some facts show that ancient mosques built a hundred years ago successfully survived the disaster. Some facts also show that Muslims rescue themselves during disasters such as flooding and earthquakes in the mosque. They surrendered themselves to God as a way to get safe from any dangers. Therefore, the study reviews several historical mosques in Indonesia that have successfully survived the disaster. In this study, the disaster reviewed in the mosque context is not only earthquake or flooding but also climate change. Climate change is quite complex that can contribute to severe attacks such as pandemics due to poor interiority and building design. Other things such as severe tropical storms and the rise of sea level would also cause flooding. Based on the literature review in these areas, it is established that mosque plays a significant role in giving a certain sense of the Muslims, especially during the disaster. This study aims to identify the mosque’s ability to be safe against disaster performed to the construction and architectural elements. The output of this study is the contribution to disaster risk reduction through environmentally friendly mosque design. This paper will also benefit researchers who endeavor to undertake research in this area and could act as a good starting point for them.
