Abu Bakar Royal Mosque, Royal mosque in Pekan, Malaysia
The Abu Bakar Royal Mosque stands alongside a royal mausoleum, featuring multiple levels with prayer halls, educational facilities, and administrative offices.
The construction began in 1976 following a community fundraising campaign that collected 700,000 Malaysian Ringgit, with Sultan Ahmad Shah officiating its opening in 1982.
The mosque functions as a center for Islamic education, conducting regular religious classes, community gatherings, and serving as a temporary National Mosque during renovations.
The mosque accommodates 4,000 worshippers across three floors, containing classrooms, offices, ablution areas, a bookshop, and a canteen for public use.
The mosque houses the royal burial grounds where Sultan Haji Sir Abu Bakar and Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah rest among other members of Pahang's royal family.
