Architecture

Zailan Yusop, a Kuala Lumpur-based architect, is responsible for designing the mosque.[1] It is noted for its artistic and elegant architecture, which is described as a blend between Abbasid and Mamluk with hints of Umayyad and Ottoman influences.[2][3] The mosque's interior design is an amalgamation of Egyptian, Ottoman, Emirati, Moroccan and Chinese elements. It is hailed as one of Malaysia's most beautiful mosques, attracting both local and international tourists.
