FEDERAL PRIDE
Mar 2023

Kuala Lumpur is home to some of the world’s beautiful mosques, with the likes of Masjid Jamek, dating back to early 1900. The stand out among them is Masjid Wilayah Persekutuan, the Federal Territory Mosque, a modern marvel of Islamic architecture, set on a 5 hectare site near the Federal Government Complex off Jalan Duta, in the Segambut district.
Officially opened in October 2000, the grand mosque can accommodate 17,000 worshipers.
The design is a blend of Malay, Ottoman, Moorish and Iranian architectural styles. Its beautiful arch is decorated with woodcarving from Kelantan and Terengganu, as are the three elegant carved main wooden doors and the Minbar, the pulpit platform from top of which the Imam delivers the Friday sermon.
You’ll be mesmerised by the breathtaking Mehrab, a semi-circular wall that indicates the direction of Mecca, which has inlays of semi-precious stones embedded into carved marble. These glitter when lit during prayers.
Inspired by Istanbul’s Blue Mosque and Iran’s Masjid Imam, in Isfahan, the turquoise-glazed tiles cover its 22 domes offering truly breathtaking views when fully lit at night.
Visitors of all faiths are welcome for conducted tours, but avoid prayer times and call ahead to book. The mosque is a short taxi ride from the Sentral Station.
At the bottom of the mosque’s landscaped lush gardens are stairs leading down to stalls selling delicacies for lunch. Food lovingly cooked by locals who feed the Jummah (Friday) worshippers for next to nothing. Please note these outlets may not be operating during April, the current fasting month of Ramadan.
We got there on the last Friday before Ramadan and loved the food, particularly from stall Lot 1 (BAS), run by Noor Iman bin Abdul Rahim and his generous family. His mother Zubaida, a very humble lady, is still working and helped us choose from the wide selection. The home-cooked beef curry flavoured with herbs and spices, fried chicken and biryani are mouth-wateringly delicious.
The family also run BAS - Batu Arang Station, a Malay cafe/restaurant at Rawang, about 20 km from the city centre.

As a non Muslim , the visit to this magnificently beautiful mosque gave me the first hand information on the Islamic culture. The friendly caretaker, despite being busy, took great attention to answer my queries on the proceedings of the praying etc. Overall it was an enjoyable and fascinating experience for me.

The most beautiful mosque in KL, I recommend everyone to visit it. There's also a lot of monkeys running around in the afternoon on the right side of the main gate.

The structure was mind-boggling. It was really nice to visit there. This mosque is nothing short of a seamless architecture.

Nice architectural view
Jan 2020
It has a nice architectural view and its surroundings are beautiful. The easiest way to go their either from sinar kota or from kl sentral by taxi. It will take rm 10-13 by grab or my car. As i know there is no LRT nearby this mosque in walking distance.

Unforgetable visit !
Jan 2020 • Couples
Very nice visit of the mosque with mister Halimi who is volunteering as a tour guide. He told us about the history of the mosque, architecture influences etc, for interested non muslim visitors, he'd also explain about the islam, prayer, coran while showing the different areas of the mosque which is actually very well maintained.
At the end of the free tour, they ll also give water and as small souvenirs, a postcard and a magnet.
It was nice seeing what they are doing and not expecting anything in return.

Best thing we did in KL!
Jan 2020
Have visited many mosques around the world, but the tour here was the best and we learnt so much! Zarita, our volunteer guide, was lovely and took her time in explaining all parts of Islam and a lot of the misconceptions surrounding the religion. She answered any questions we had. The mosque itself is amazing. A beautiful blend of different architectural styles, many reminiscent of the Blue Mosque in Istanbul. It was very quiet. Only a few other tourists and locals around, which certainly added to the experience. Only a 15 minute Grab ride from Bukit Bintang. Don't miss this when you're in KL. Seriously!
