The National
Mosque of Malaysia, one of the largest mosques in East
Asia
The Masjid Negara or the National Mosque of Malaysia, is
located in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
It has a capacity of 5000, is situated among five acres
(13 hectares) of beautiful gardens. Originally built in
1965, it was recently refurbished, and now features
marble floors, reflecting pools, fountains and a
73-meter high minaret, sleek and stylish against the
Kuala Lumpur skyline. An underground passage leads to
the boldly modern National Mosque located near the
railway station, along Jalan Sultan Hishamuddin. Its
bright blue jagged rooftop, designed in the shape of an
eighteen-pointed star, symbolizing the 14 states of
Malaysia and the Five Pillars of Islam. It has the
appearance of a partly opened multi-fold umbrella-like
roof which symbolizes the aspirations of an independent
nation. Its unique modern design embodies a contemporary
expression of traditional Islamic art calligraphy and
ornamentation. Near the mosque is the Makam Pahlawan
(Heroes' Mausoleum).
