Al-Muktafi Billah Shah Mosque, Modern royal mosque in Kuala Terengganu, Malaysia

The Al-Muktafi Billah Shah Mosque features a single minaret and flat roof design that incorporates traditional Malay architectural elements with contemporary styling.

Construction of the mosque began in May 1981 with Minister of Finance Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah laying the foundation stone, and completion occurred in November 1984.

The minbar displays intricate calligraphy and carvings crafted by the skilled artisans of Balai Seni Ukir Wan Su from Besut, Terengganu.

The air-conditioned prayer hall accommodates numerous worshippers and provides chairs for those requiring additional support during prayer sessions.

The mosque includes a Royal Mausoleum containing the tomb of the 15th Sultan of Terengganu, positioned next to the mihrab since May 1998.
