Sultan Ahmad Shah State Mosque, State mosque in Kuantan, Malaysia.

Sultan Ahmad Shah State Mosque is a large prayer building in Kuantan defined by four minarets and a central dome at its center. Its exterior walls are decorated with geometric patterns and finished in marble.

The first Sultan Ahmad 1 Mosque, built in 1962 on what is now Mahkota Road, replaced an older wooden mosque and had a large dome with a rocket-like minaret. Faulty design caused leaks in heavy rain, and it was demolished in 1992. DZJ Architect and Associates built the present mosque between 1991 and 1993, and Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah reopened it on 21 October 1994.

Inside, the walls display Islamic calligraphy and Quranic verses that form part of the daily spiritual experience of those who pray here. Visitors can observe these sacred texts displayed throughout the prayer halls and corridors.

It sits in Kuantan's business district on Jalan Mahkota and can hold up to 10,000 worshippers. Visitors should be aware that there are specific visiting hours for non-Muslims and dress codes apply.

The first mosque on this site, built in 1962, had a rocket-like minaret and a fifty-metre geodesic dome, making it Pahang's most prominent dome of worship. It was demolished in 1992 after leaks during heavy rain proved irreparable. The current building, by DZJ Architect and Associates, was completed in 1993.
