Masjid Al-Qadim, Sibu( Sarawak)
Masjid Al-Qadim in Sibu is one of Sarawak’ s oldest mosques, believed to have been built between the 1830s and 1860s by the Malay and Melanau Muslim communities. Constructed from durable belian( ironwood) and featuring traditional motifs, it reflects both strength and artistry. Its architecture is inspired by the Great Mosque of Demak, marked by the Tiang Empat( Four Pillars) and a tiered limas-style roof. The carved teak entrance, modelled after the Prophet’ s Mosque in Madinah, adds a spiritual resonance. Having undergone major restorations to preserve its heritage, the mosque remains a centre of worship and a symbol of Sibu’ s Islamic identity.

Widely known as the " Masjid Bulat " or the " Round Mosque ", Masjid Tun Abdul Aziz is a landmark in Petaling Jaya, featuring a striking circular design. Completed in 1977, it was built through the communal efforts of local residents with support from the Selangor state government. The mosque ' s modernist eclectic style combines Mughal and Arabian details within a three-storey radial plan. Its central dome and slender minaret dominate the skyline, while inside, a column-free prayer hall creates an open and welcoming space filled with natural light. Beyond worship, the mosque also houses halls, classrooms, shops and community facilities, continuing its role as a hub for both faith and daily life.
