Introduction

The National Mosque, built in 1974, features a modern and stylish architectural style. With a towering minaret reaching 73 meters, it plays the call to prayer, while its unique blue star-shaped roof stands out from the traditional onion dome design, symbolizing the aspirations of an independent nation. The mosque has a total of 18 domes, representing the 13 states of Malaysia and the 5 principles of Islam. The overall design of the mosque is inspired by the Great Mosque of Mecca, particularly the interior decoration, which bears a striking resemblance to that of Mecca. The prayer hall can accommodate up to 15,000 people, making it the largest mosque in Southeast Asia.
