Step into the National Mosque of Kuala Lumpur and experience the serene and tranquil atmosphere

🌟 Highlights: The National Mosque of Kuala Lumpur was built in 1974 and is one of the largest mosques in Southeast Asia, accommodating up to 8,000 people in prayer at the same time. The mosque is predominantly white with a modern and minimalist design that still looks contemporary. The cascading umbrella-like roofs are eye-catching, and the outer hall with its forest of pillars and geometrically patterned windows is very much in the Islamic style. The interior of the mosque, including the prayer hall, corridors, and library, is decorated similarly to the three major mosques in Mecca, with the main dome of the mosque featuring 18 stars, representing the 13 states of Malaysia and the five pillars of Islam. 👍 Most recommended: Inside the mosque, there are not many visitors, giving off a quiet and ethereal feeling. Although not very familiar with Islam, what's important is to go in and feel the religious atmosphere. Compared to the heat outside, walking barefoot on the cool floor is very comfortable. 📝 Tips: ✅ Entrance to the mosque for a visit is free, and you can register your personal information at the entrance. Visiting is limited to certain times of the day, with a break at noon and reopening around three in the afternoon. On Fridays, which are the main prayer days for Muslims, the mosque is only open for a few hours. ✅ Shoes must be removed before entering, and women need to wear long robes, while men in shorts must also wear long robes, which are provided for free. 🚉 Transportation address: The National Mosque is located near the old train station in the central area of Kuala Lumpur, not far from Petaling Street and Independence Square, about a ten-minute walk.
