The mosque's distinctive architecture and layout, rich in philosophical values, reflect a blend of Islamic traditions and local culture.

Today, both sites have developed into popular religious tourism destinations, especially during major Islamic holidays. Through historical research methods, this article demonstrates that the Kasunyatan Mosque and Maulana Yusuf's Tomb not only hold religious significance but also possess profound historical, social, and cultural value, and have the potential to be developed as religious tourism sites rooted in local culture.]]>
