Zahir Mosque, State mosque in Alor Setar, Malaysia.
The Zahir Mosque features five large domes and multiple minarets, with intricate Islamic patterns adorning its white walls and pillars across 125,000 square feet.
The mosque, completed in 1915, stands on the burial site of a Kedah warrior who fell during a Siamese invasion of the region.
The mosque holds the annual state-level Quran reading competition, bringing together religious scholars and participants from across Kedah.
Located along Darul Aman Highway, the mosque welcomes visitors without entrance fees and provides guided tours during non-prayer times.
The architectural design mirrors the Azizi Mosque of Langkat Sultanate in North Sumatra, displaying a blend of Indo-Saracenic elements.
