MASJID Jamek Muhammadi, also known as the State Mosque of Kelantan, stands as a prominent symbol of Islamic heritage in Kota Bharu. Initially constructed in 1867 as a wooden structure near the banks of the Budor River in Seberang Paloh, the mosque was later relocated due to frequent

flooding. While the exact date of its original construction remains uncertain, historical accounts suggest it may have existed during the reign of Sultan Muhammad I( 1801-1837) or, more commonly believed, during the time of Sultan Muhammad II( 1837-1886).

In 1921, a new brick building was

constructed to replace the original wooden mosque. The foundation stone was laid by Sultan Ismail Ibni Almarhum Sultan Muhammad IV on 21 August 1922. Covering a total area of 10,600 square feet, the mosque features four minarets, each standing at 70 feet tall. One of these minarets is fitted with

four large clocks visible from every direction. The mosque can accommodate up to 2,400 congregants at one time. It was officially opened on Friday, 31 July 1931, when it was also renamed Masjid Muhammadi in honour of Sultan Muhammad IV.

MASJID Abidin was initially constructed between 1793 and 1808 using cengal wood during the reign of Sultan Zainal Abidin II. It was later rebuilt with bricks and cement under Sultan Umar in 1852. In 1881, Sultan Ahmad II ibni Yang Dipertuan Muda Tengku Mahmud commissioned a new dome to replace the one previously built by Sultan Umar. A special ceremony was held on 1 Jamadil Akhir 1298H( 1881), on a Saturday at 7.00 in the morning, where 16 ceremonial shots were fired to mark the occasion.

In 1901, during the reign of Sultan Zainal Abidin III, the mosque underwent renovation and expansion, doubling its

to enhance its architectural features. The project was led by Yang Mulia Dato ' Raja Kamarul Bahrain Shah, a member of the Terengganu Royal Family.
